How long does it normally take for gallery photos to get approved? I uploaded some several days ago and they're still shown as "pending" in my gallery.

If you want to change your name, you can just contact support.

New account status = can't transfer faves but you get the new status

Transfer faves = no new status but you keep your rating for the past 90 days s and faves

I heard before you could have both but now these are the only options.

Help please! I'm trying to set up SM on my new computer (which is top specs etc) and have set up the encoder as per SM's instructions, but when typing in chat my words aren't appearing!! What am I doing wrong plz? Text chat worked on my old puter (but the encoder didn't)...

EDIT - it's working now :/

Maybe try a different browser? Their chat is funny sometimes. When I got a new computer I had to switch to Microsoft Edge for Streamate. (It's not as shit as you'd expect, surprisingly.)

Are you still having problems?
Do you have Kaspersky's 800# for support? (I had to dig for it)

I wouldn be surprised if it is Kaspersky.
I tried them at someone's recommendation, but it has so many settings & buttons to push, controls that need fine tuning, that I just switched back to ESET, which is easy-peasy. Not being a computer programmer, I don't need more shit to do so I can cam, or bank, or any of the other pre-set options K has =p

Yes I'm still having problems:( Its really weird because it will work for a couple of days and then mess up again!! I didnt have any problems yesterday but this morning it keeps freezing over and over again. I tried camming with out using the encoder but my bitrate went from 1250 all the way down to 773 in less than an hour.....WTF!!!! I disabled kaspersky almost a week ago but its still doing it:(

I uninstalled chrome and reinstalled it and it seems to be working again for now. I guess we will see but thanks to all the issues I went from page 1 to page 2 ;(

And here we are in 2016 still putting up with this b.s . a clear indication that WE don't matter and nothing we ever voice to support matters. I also hate that they can change their name. I've been dealing with some low life who keeps changing their name & going exclusive only to paste a paragraph long insult and logs out before I can block them. For 35% nobody should have to deal with that b.s nor should we have to write into support asking to block someone simply because we can only block the jerkoff if their in our room.

Screen capture it the next time it happens, send it to Liz.
I'd also giver her the date, time & time zone you're in, so they can locate when he popped in.
I've done this before, for other reasons, and they seemed to be able to locate the guy.
Give it a shot. Can't hurt. They may be able to cancel his account.

I'm such a hard ass. If I were you and that was happening, I'd just ban ANY guy I don't recognize who takes me to exclusive THE SECOND I can. Then un-ban just the chat part and see if he comes back into my guest chat to ask "what just happened?" If he's a good guy he'll laugh at your explanation. "I thought you were someone else" LOL giggle giggle. I've banned and then un-banned so many guys who have pissed me off and then give them a chance to redeem themselves. But I never completely un ban them. Fuck that shit.

sorry for the Fbomb, I just hate hearing those things happening to us. I've just un-banned (from chat only) a ton of guys to give them a second chance. Believe it or not some of them have smartened up! I tell them too when they come back into my guest chat. However, some went right back into the dog house. I DID NOT un-ban habitual long time peepers or jerks I remember. But I thought of doing it when I logged on not too long ago and said quietly to myself, "Why don't I have any one in my room?" and then quietly answered myself..."Because I banned them all" LOL

So, I didn't get on cam for a few months and they recently deleted my SM account. So I messaged support and at the meantime while waiting for a reply, I made another account,with a different model name, like a startover profile.
They messaged me back saying they reactivated my old account and everything is back, tags, reviews, favs...

My new account was approved, just waiting on approving pictures and bio now.
Do you think they will delete one of them now?

I finally took the plunge on SM & I'm doing alright. It's so much less stressful than CB, it's shocking (yay no panic attacks). I've read through a bit of the thread over the years, but I have a few questions.
1. Are cammodels.com links not geoblocked?
2. Regarding the phone service, how does that work exactly? Is my number blocked?
3. Under ranking, regarding quality, how do you boost your round trip time (ms)? I have an awesome bitrate and my fps rate is way above the "best score" thing, so I'm a bit stumped.

Thanks in advance :)

They can see you if they type in yourcamname.cammodels.com but I don't believe a person from your blocked region can see you on cammodels search?

2. Regarding the phone service, how does that work exactly? Is my number blocked? You enter your phone number into the SM interface and then there's a phone relay. SM intercepts the customers call and redirects it to your phone number. They never see your number.

3. Under ranking, regarding quality, how do you boost your round trip time (ms)? I have an awesome bitrate and my fps rate is way above the "best score" thing, so I'm a bit stumped.
The round trip time will vary depending on a ton of different things. Ive noticed the lower down on the page I am the higher my ms time. Also the time of day. If I'm camming during peak hours for my ISP I can always count on a high roundtrip time.

Recently two of my peepers have turned into tippers. I preblocked them and when they came back we had a Come To Jesus moment..I laid the smack down. But in a sweet and assertive sort of way. Now these two tip me in free chat before they peep. One tips two and the other five. Honestly you cant ask for much more than that when it comes to a freeloader.

I think they working on site?! The Search function was indeed useless almost cause people had to press on that magnifying glass button to open up the text box for searching, pretty user non-friendly if u ask me, the search bar should always be very visible on any site especially a cam site.
There is a reason for all these traffic issues and glitches, they either try to fix what they broke or they wanna improve things or 'boil' something new, we shall see....

Theres been other changes... like the new button that says cam 2 cam user requested on your streaming page - and when you're viewing a models cam and they go to pvt/exclusive (dunno which one) and youre not a member it'll prompt you to open your 'free guest account now'. Wasn't like that before.

You mean this right?
Seen it earlier on & checked my own room here so yea but they say : "Get a free account" or "Log In" if u a member already, not sure what is all about the 'free guest account'?
It was like that before, earlier on or u overseen the info?
Anyway, it's free to register but not to enjoy the benefits on site haha ;)

ETA: Is the Cam2Cam button new? I think it was there before?! Or not?!
But if it says "Cam 2 Cam is user requested" why is there in our chat if we cant initiate cam2cam anyway?
Maybe to hide their cams by switching tabs if we prefer it that way? Hmmm....

Yes! I have over 300 banned. When it's slow, I'm like, "Maybe I should do some unblocking". I unblocked guys who have come back only to pull the same shit again. Then I have had guys that have tipped and thanked me for unblocking them.

@catBBW you can add notes, just go to your earnings history and click their screen name. You can only block somebody in your room but if you email support they will usually block somebody for you if you need them to.

No to both even though alot of us wish(and have expressed to SM) that we could block guys after they've left.

I got my first one star review! Is there any way to figure out who it was so I can block them if they decide to return. It's not my fault if you're too stupid to read a description or a bio.

What was that noise? Working on SM, I heard a sort of peal, that was about 7 notes, went up then down in tone. Nothing in the chat box to explain it, I didn't gain any Gold...anyone know?

Yes. First look at the day the review was left. Then go to your "My Earnings" page and find the same day. Open "Details" and you have to go through each customer. Click on their user name and open the "sessions" tab. Under there you will see how much they spent and if they left a rating and/or comment and what it was.

Then if you like you can make a note on their account that they left you the one star and ask them about it or block them if you see them in your room again.

Also you can contact SM support and ask them to remove it but I never do.

If its a 1 star review with a comment (or any shit review with a comment) I contact support so its not on my "permanent record". I had a 3 star with the comment "amazing" and had to remind them to delete the review AND then delete the comment, just fyi.

Only if they have messaged you. If so, go to their username and block (make sure from both chat AND messages). I believe you can also make a note as well.

the only fancy sound I know of on SM is when somebody tips you $25 or more it makes a fun sound. If you didn't get a tip then I'm not sure what that would be.

It is my very favorite sound, and usually it comes from guys who just want to talk. I love getting paid just to exist as myself. :)

Last night was my first night and I was so nervous, but I had a great time! One guy could tell I was new and he stayed in my room the whole time, took me to pvt twice and left some gold and really nice tags. I did mess up and miss out on my first pvt because I didn't understand to tell I was in pvt. But I am kind of confused on some things. How can I get the encoder to work? It keeps crashing during calibration. And what are good prices to start out? I don't want to sell myself short.

Did we ever find out if the blocked guys know that they have been blocked. I have blocked a user and i'm hoping that he cannot tell that i am still actively using sm. I emailed sm support with a request to block him and asked if he will still be able to see my profile or tell if im online. They responded with "he is now blocked, thanks!". No,thank you sm for ignoring my questions, so nice of you to keep your models informed. ha!

How long do I have to wait before my rates can be raised?

I signed up on SM about 9 months ago, worked a month on there but then shelved it (but kept the account active) until last week, due to having a BAD computer with low specs and no audio. Picked it up again this weekend (new puter!) and requested to be able to raise my rates, but have been declined with the message: "This option is not currently available for this account". So am stuck at $5.99 per minute.

So how long should I wait before my rates can/will be raised?

In my experience, if they really like you and are sorry and realize what they've done, they will make another account and treat you much better.

This.

When someone is commanding most of my attention, but the conversation is dragging or obviously going somewhere weird, I will open their profile in a new window. If they disappear, ask for illegals or bitch, I note to ban them.
If there is more than one potential nuisance, I will mark them all as "ban?" and edit as required.
Anyone who comes into my room with a "ban" note and no number by their name gets insta-banned.

I didnt wait at all. I emailed them immediately and asked them to increase my rates and they did. Try emailing liz and telling her you want to make the company more money. :) Im sure she will help you out. [email protected]

Same. Glad I got up early and managed to wrangle a couple of slaves and pigs, or I would be at $0. Hoping it cheers up over the next 3h.

Blocked guys definitely know they're blocked. A regular of mine was blocked for trying to warn a girl that Streamate might ban her for mentioning her Twitter and Amazon wishlist and he knew immediately that he was blocked.
