SM is trying my last nerve this week! I thought July was bad but I've been proven wrong.
Time to pick up another egg I think.

Wait are these tags on streamray? I've never seen or come across them before. Where do you find them?
Here's the value of keeping up on this thread. It's easy to forget all about tags - haven't looked at mine for months.
I got 2 bad ones: 1. Video 2. Ordinary... someone thought I was showing a video and not live. I suppose on long shifts it could look that way LOL

She's confused because she's talking about the wrong site and you're not helping her, lol. The thread is about Streamate, moscowsarah, not Streamray/Cams.

I went back to using the new settings yesterday, figured I might as well give it another shot since they've been officially released. I didn't have any noticeable issues and had my highest earning day in months! I also managed to stay logged in and streaming through the major crash yesterday. So I'm going to stick with them unless I notice it glitching again.

HOLY FUCKING GLITCHES. So I can hear that people are entering my room... but I can't see them until minutes later....and then I see who they are...all their chat.. and then them exiting... pissed that I've "ignored" them.

So I've heard a lot about royalties on music and whatnot, and I fully understand that using licensed music in something that you're getting paid for is a no no, but what about using it in free chat? Like, is having the radio on in your room ok as long as you turn it off when you go private? I like having something recognizable to sing along to since it makes me seem like I'm doing something without me having to carry on a convo with an imaginary person.
And can the customers see what is and isn't allowed on Streamate? The only things that I won't do on cam besides anal are all covered in the "not allowed on streamate" category. I'll tell that to customers that want something kinky, and nine times out of ten they'll start asking me about something streamate doesn't allow. I've been thinking these guys are just annoying piss babies that think they're the exception, but if they actually can't see what is and isn't allowed by streamate, then I should probably just start listing the things.

They have to agree to the "Terms & Conditions" when they sign up to be a member, but as everybody who has ever signed up for a website (pre-camming) knows, 90% of people don't read that shit. Or some do, but there's so many models that break the rules (including very popular ones) that they think exceptions are okay so they feel comfortable asking despite that. I feel like it's a mix of A & B. But no, I don't think it's listed on the site blatantly so that they see it every time they log in/go to a model's room or anything. The Terms & Conditions are always available for them to read, but why would they seek that out, you know?

That makes much sense. It's funny what people think does and doesnt go, because one of my customers let me know that fisting wasn't allowed (i had missed that one in my read through) and yet I've had so many custies ask me to pee on cam. You'd think that it would be the other way around.

It was pretty funny I hit 10:30 CST and it shifted so hard and so fast, from nice talking and buying show guys to guys popping in and out way more and no spenders, good to know for me thats my time to get the fuck outta dodge, or at least get the hell off streamate.

We don't have a functioning site but we do have a new model log in page whoooo, with so many exaggerated parts to it! According to their log in page the site gets 500 million visitors a month, 1/16 people come to Streamate...Jesus, does no one proof read this shit? Are they hoping to attract new models after a mass exodus following a summer of shitty traffic and glitches?
i read it too... and i said myself wow 500 millions... for the last weeks i dont see more than 50 per day lol .. SM must hate me because usually i have my room empty for this days... who is stealing mi millions??????? LOL

Nothing says someone is emotionally stable and well adjusted like being angry and hateful to an internet stranger! I got a tag while I was offline that said over priced. LOL hmmm, nope, don't think so. Who the fuck leaves a tag when your off line? lol I'm in private with repeat regs and new custies at least 75 % of the time. Now, you don't have to be a math fucking wiz to figure out my prices could actually stand to be a bit higher if I didn't want to be so busy. I can't remember the last time I just went through the motions in a show. It sounds more like the person should have left a tag for themselves that read " I'm bitter I can't afford her show" or " I'm a loser who picks on women because it makes me feel better because I have the coping skills of a child." I haven't gotten a shitty tag or a bad review in forever.
A good regular noticed I was pretty sad over something and e-mailed me a gift card though. Thank god for nice people. WTF can't I find a boyfriend like that? lol

My traffic is ABYSMAL currently - what gives? I'm bouncing between the 5th & 6th rows from the top on the first page and while that isn't like, mind blowing placement-wise it's usually better than this. Wondering if it's because I changed my static avatar or what. Anyone else having unusually slow traffic today?

I could probably be a buck a minute and the person would still have left that. It's either the type of guy who expects you to be buck ass naked within 10 seconds, doing a headstand, shooting wooden nickels out of your ass and even $2 bucks a minute is too much or someone who has some deluded vendetta against me. Kind of suspicious that it came right now. Price is really relative. To a guy who is wealthy my prices are pennies. Like you said American _ Beauty just some jerk off doing jerk off shit. Kind of sad when it really boils down.

Wait... didn't they change the model login page 3 months ago? God this page makes me rage. Be a little bit more honest and not over over exaggerate.
MAKE UP TO $10,000 A WEEK!
Payments are sent weekly through the method of your choice. You could earn hundreds or even thousands a week!
Yes, but I believe there aren't models on your site currently making $10k a week. Maybe total before your percentage cut. But we aren't pocketing $10k in a week. I can make that in a month, sure.
INSANE TRAFFIC
Streamate handles all the advertising at no cost to you. Millions of visitors have immediate access to your chat daily. You can also bring in new customers with provided marketing tools!
The traffic will literally make you go insane. If millions of visitors have access to your chat, why is it so hard to get a simple "hello" out of someone at times.
WE HANDLE IT ALL!
Being a Streamate Model is safe, secure, and free. You receive a percentage of every dollar billed in your chat. We handle all the processing for you, so you can focus on your fans.
So you aren't going to honest about that percentage? Hmmm
WHAT YOU NEED
You only need three pieces of equipment to get started: a webcam, a computer, and an internet connection. That's it! No technical skills required.
Technical skills will be needed, that's bullshit. Don't tell them that. You are gonna have to learn how to maintain your computer. Like a car.
Also probably 10 million registers in 13 years but probably less then 1/20 active profiles.
I LOVE INFLATED NUMBERS! yummmm

Quick question, guys. I'm looking to bring in another model to cam with in the hopes of upping the traffic a little bit. If she's already registered as a model on SM, can we cam together as a kind of 'featuring (her s/n)' type thing or do we have to make a whole new 'couples' account? I've searched to see if anyones already answered this question, but I can't seem to find anything.

I've done this with my ex. I emailed Liz and asked her if its okay. just send her their cam profile. Mention models who do it on the top row. You an totally use me for an example.
Remind you that you have to split your income in half and you are responsible for paying her out. I would take out taxes and split it in half and pay her in cash under the table.

Thanks, darlin. That's pretty much how I was planning on cutting her in anyways but it's nice to have a confirmation of sorts that that's the best way to do it. I'll hit Liz up and double check how she wants me to go about it. I know on MFC when you bring in another model they require that you keep her name in your topic at all times so I wanna see if SM requires anything similar.

I had a guy that had never took me pvt before leave me 5 or 6 bad tags or what ever the limit is ( cant remember). But at first I was like wth did I do wrong and it really bothered me too at first but then later that same night I got a really pissy message from a guy that would just sit in my room thinking that I would meet him (PLEASE!)....LOL. But in the message he had said this "i can see other convos if you're gonna slander at least do it while im not around ". What had happened though is he had seen me talking to another guy that wanted me to call him the "N" word in our pvt. /the guy that sent me the pissy message couldn't see what I was typing tho because I was sending my messages to the other guy hidden. So the other guy got mad cause he was just seeing a one sided message or whatever. Wasn't a loss to me tho cause he was never a paying cust anyways but I still tried messaging him to straighten it up but oh well. I just hid the tags. I agree with American Beauty tho....some guys are just going to be jerks!

LOL, girly_girl that triffling fool had no money. Those numb nuts will do anything to get attention. Really? Leaving a chick six bad tags? lol wut? What a loser. Seriously, when dude does that, it's like a little boy having a temper tantrum. Yes, soooo masculine and macho. Really lets me know that type is drowning in vag when they pull those stunts. If that happens next time just ignore and block the guy. If he isn't giving you the $$$ then he simply doesn't get attention. I always so attention is attention is attention. I don't care if it's good or bad attention.
One of my favorite cam models once said to a guy " Why are you picking on and starting fights with girls? Why don't you go pick on a guy? Oh, that's right, because another man would beat the shit out of you." ::)

Hello girls, I have a question. I downloaded the new 720 file and I am using those settings now, with my encoder, since a few days ago, but when I am checking my Ranking page, the bitrate still shows 593, as it used to be with the old settings. I checked and double checked my encoder and it's set at 2000 kbps, during shows I have the average bitrate at 1500 kbps but in the Ranking page is still at less than 600, and I am getting Good, instead of Excellent, in the Bitrate category. Anyone knows why is that happening and how I can fix it? I have a great Internet connection of over 50 Mbps upload, i7 computer and all that... Thank you and I wish you the best of luck (especially today, cause so far it's slow as fuckkkk on SM)

These are curious questions, so don't take offense to them.
For the girls who say you stream Netflix and surf the net while on cam. Do you reach your goals while doing this? -ON SM, not other sites combined.
I am curious to know your results on this method.
How do you stream movies and music while streaming your cam? An overloaded network will lag, which will obviously result in glitches.
At the same time, wouldn't streaming while ignoring your room COST you money? I can't see the logic of running lights, and streaming a cam - and Netflix, while sitting there bored and zoned out, waiting for a spender to come along lol. Maybe your electric bill will even out after you find that occasional big spender?
Wouldn't hustling any guy into private, regardless of traffic volume make more sense?
I'm open to ideas.
