I'm confused about what is and isn't allowed in free chat and profile pics. 90 percent of profile pics seem to have boobs and one model today had her legs spread wide open. Now I personally don't want to do this but am I just flat not understanding the rules? So far I've been telling guys that sm wouldn't allow it but I'm wondering if I've been full of crap lol.

Just curious would you do a show with a customer that rated you less than 5 stars? What bout 4 stars? I personally blocked a couple. Maybe I'm being too harsh. A guy called me a real bitch for caring about the 4 stars.

The rules are different for different models. That's sad to say but its true. I get called all kinds of names by men that want me to flash my vagina in free. Sorry..its not gonna happen dumbfuck. As far as profile pics...this is confusing to me because I know the profile pic has to be approved by Streamate. I just have come to the conclusion that its okay for some and not others. I'm going to follow the rules and not do it.

I have one regular who rated me a 4 and he kept coming back. At first I accepted it thinking it was a mistake. After it kept happening I brought it up. I'm like why do you keep coming back when you keep rating me 4. He stopped doing that, he gave me 5's.. then just stopped doing shows. Now he comes in and just hangs out. I don't really like him anyway, so his loss of privates didn't bother me at all. I have a handful of regulars that I put up with because they are regulars that spend anywhere from 20.00 to 40.00 my cut. You are not being to harsh. These guys want certain things..and I am almost certain that most don't give two shits about our feelings. So the way I look at it..if they are getting what they want from us...a good rating is the respectful thing to do. You are in no way a bitch for caring about your ratings.

A guy who gave me 1 star kept coming back and claimed "I didn't listen" I did all he asked. It's so strange. Other guy who gave me 4 stars said he had better and thought it was a good rating.

Some models dont have a permanent static profile pic so in model's list it shows a live picture taken during the live stream session, that's why u get to see all kind of pictures that dont follow site rules.

You can ask support to have poor ratings removed.Do not allow them to come back,they are ruining your overall rating and it will mess with your placement.
Show them the way out to find better.Ban,ban,ban.

Is it allowed to post customers screen names from SM? I think a thread of peepers, trolls, etc would benefit other models. There's a couple of serious offenders on my block list that should be reported for abusing the 30 second in private rule. I take notes on all my guests so I know if they continue harassing my privates with other customers.

From what I know boobs in profile pics are allowed.They do not allow explicit pics for profiles but boobs are fine,they approved a few topless pics of mine.

They do not delete the 4 star ratings. SM thinks is a good one.
But for me feels like the customer wasn't pleased. So, you had better? Then go and fucking have better in a different room. *bans and wishes him a nice day*.

That's right. SM will remove 3 and below. That's why I hate 4 star ratings they lower your overall rating and the idiots return. I told the last guy who gave me 4 stars don't rate me period and he called me a "real bitch" LOL.

There's no point in sharing them really, as they can change their names as often as they like, and many have the same name.

Every new guy has been a freeloading, confused mess. Do we know where they're getting this "new" traffic from? It's been awful. if it wasn't for regulars and long time members, I'd be screwed.

SM specifically asked EE cammers to report the 40 second peepers or just abusive customers in general? And yes I wrote 50 second peepers because I don't think discussing the 60 second peeper time amount is the wisest thing to discuss in a open forum.

Yep...they return. I take pride in my ratings. I guess I feel like if I get a four.. I failed some how. It's annoying really. To see them come back over and over makes me want to scream. I don't get it LOL If you keep coming back, then you obviously like me. I deserve a 5 LOL Who knows....most of my ratings are 5. I've had maybe 5 guys rate me 4 since 2010. Of course I get the assholes that come in for 1 minute while I'm in a private show and rate me 1 or 2. Im like seriously dude. I'm in a show and you didn't even say hello or give me time to perform for you. I just want to kick those asshats in the ball sack.

Peepers.I only said abusing because I didnt want to be specific about time.The email was in my native language other way I would paste that paragraph here.Anyway was something like...they monitor the system for peepers and if we suspect members who abuse the rule,entering and leaving the chat for more than x times (again I cant mention the number) we may report them.

DATING SITES?!
wait...
so could this be the reason I had hundreds of guys asking for my phone number, location, and if we could meet up? and when I said no they said I was a rip off?! there was some level of entitlement and confusion going on yesterday that I couldn't place my finger on. I also encountered numerous guys professing their love for me upon meeting me yesterday like another model mentioned above.
Remember SM, not all traffic is good traffic. Who cares about lots of traffic when these guys are under the impression all of us models are just as horny and desperate AND willing to meet up in person as they are? It's dead end traffic leading to bullshit conversions and frustrating your models.
I had guys ask why the site wanted their CC number.

on this open forum? I would say no. Not in an open forum. In verified, maybe. This is an "open" forum and anyone can read it and everyone does read it. This is where those guys on your list, learn all things we WISH they didn't do. There is a lot of info on this open forum I wish could be deleted. Just my opinion.

That about covers it. I turned off geoblock to check my computer and I'm on frigging page 8! No wonder I'm not getting any traffic:(. I just want to frigging cry. Plus two of the categories that I should be in I'm not showing up in at all. I went all the way to the offline models and I wasn't there.
I'm having the same thing happen to me its my second week and i was getting decent traffic last week, but all of the sudden it stopped, i have the encoder, phone, 5 star ratings, my paid time percentage is low, but its because my traffic disappeared...what can i do to fix it?

Anyone fancy pointing me in the direction of some models who cam without audio?

I cam without audio *sometimes* and it seems like I get customers that are more patient, they are willing to wait for you to type back, and any of the idiots are weeded out NO SOUND BB? *leaves*
As we have noticed lately a lot of guys want you to type anyway because they themselves don't have sound for whatever reason.
But it is a better option to cam with audio even if you don't speak.

Think that happened to a lot of us this week. My time online in pvt dropped 20% this week! I haven't had it that low since I started on sm 4 years ago. It was just a shitty week. Hopefully.

I don't use audio, never have in the 7.5 years I've cammed and I do alright.
^^^ Can i ask why u dont use audio Cutie? I saw u on cam & i heard nothing but i was thinking u maybe dont offer audio in free chat but not even in pvt? That is amazing if u do good even when not using audio. I think i would loose most of my members if i stopped using sound, a large portion of my shows require audio simply.

Just a personal preference and confidence thing. I've been doing it since I started which I think helps me out in the long run especially with long term clients, they've been trained to know I don't use it, and I won't. I'm much too shy of a person and in all honestly I don't lose a lot of people (any worth a darn, I'm sure) because I don't use it. Now if a host that used to use audio would switch to not using it, it may be another story.... Lol. But I have always been this way and it's a part of my Hustle. I make up for it with quick one handed (left handed at that and I'm a rightie) dirty talk during pvt, facial expressions, and my wit and charming personality.... Lol.
People don't believe me that I'm shy and that's the reason, the main reason, the other is too much background noise that could possibly interfere so I just don't bother. I would be a completely different person 100% on cam if I had to use sound and talk to people! either they'd get tired of my mouth and cocky attitude lipping off the freeloaders! or I wouldn't be the 'sex goddess' they think I am because I don't dirty talk, can't dirty talk (typing is different then talking) and I'm generally just quiet in general if you get what I mean. :)

you know, I honestly think that men just don't know any better. They don't know how important a 5 is to us. They probably think a 4 is okay. And in my book it is. I give men the benefit of the doubt, be more forgiving. A 4 tells me that it was pretty damn good, but not the big bang they may have been hoping for. If they were trying to be an a-hole or just mean, they would intentionally leave a 1 or 2.
Men are smart at a lot of things. And some times, they mean well, but just don't know any better. ;-)

Men...I almost turned lesbian because they don't know any better.
I agree with you though ,a 4 is not as bad as a 3,2,1.But depends what makes him give me the 4.If I agreed to do something for him but then I didnt,if I gave him a shitty show because yeah,that can happen...or any other similar reason,ok,then it is fair to rate me 4 or less.But if he comes in pvt and ask me for a thing I don't advertise and I can't provide then it's not fair and I'll ban him next .

So tonight 2 of my regs hanging out in my room had to refresh after every private I was having because the screen would be stuck in countdown (they dont see the actual countdown but the "i'll be back in 30 sec" message or something like that).One was logged in on streamate ,one in cammodels.Both had it happening.Is this a new glitch ?

It's such a cunt tease when you have a reeeally solid first hour making bank and you feel all pumped up and awesome, and then the rest of the night goes to absolute shit. I'd rather make a lower steady amount every hour than deal with this fluctuating fuckery.
My regulars and a few generous newbies were around when I logged on, but then they all left. I've had lots of traffic all night but it's been nothing but cheap chatty douchebags. No privates/exclusives. Can't even get a $5 gold show going, failed three countdowns. The guys were like "Just start the show bb, at least you'll make some money." Like, fuck you asswipe, the minimum buy-in for this show literally costs 90% less than what you'd be paying for the same amount of time in private. Just fucking tip more. I'm not lowering my standards for you. Hit my goal or GTFO. >_<
Saturdays used to be really awesome for me... last Saturday was one of my worst shifts, and tonight's not looking much better. I would file this under "Camming Sucks" but I honestly think it has more to do with Streamate's influx of bullshit freeloader traffic lately.

Yeah, that blows! It's probably related to buyer's remorse or their own feelings of inferiority. You probably already know you can have the rating removed by emailing support. Got my first 1 star tonight and I will be having it removed...

calling mfc and skype shows....
Not my fucking job to convert a million people to only be 5 dollar tippers for your site. It's like, since i didn't have 100 people join gold shows yesterday you're punishing me. NEWS FLASH. Your fucking site hasn't been paying out with goldshows. I have bills to pay. Punish me for making more money with less people??? GTFOH
And...I'm editing again..
Drop me..fine...whatever.. But I'm not cheapening myself for your site. Not now. Not ever. I'm not taking shows for a few pennies just to get my placement up. You can kiss my ass. I'm worth more than that. bxtch. I don't do gold shows at all. Maybe that explains why I've dropped like 4 pages for no apparent reason. I am beginning to th in SM is trying to transition to a more tipping based site versus privates.

Have you tried doing gold shows with a higher minimum buy in? I've noticed that the leeches aren't willing to pay $10 for a 10 minute show but a lot of good tippers will chip in, then stick around for exclusive afterwards.

I've tried that. $10 for 10 minute show is only worth if you have at least 10 guys. If you only get 1--3 guys buying in you have to keep restarting the gold show to get interest. Every ten minute show needs a countdown too so you have to account for that. Everytime I don't make goal I find it so discouraging and end up hurting my morale. Because so many guys are popping in and out WATCHING you fail to make that measly goal.

Ended up logging off early, which I hate doing, but it just didn't feel worth it.

I feel this way as well, have done OK for myself and have decent placement without having ever done a gold show. I just like, don't have the patience or attention span or spirit it takes to make them work in my favor. Tons of respect for the hustle though!
