Does the SM chat log get auto-saved onto my computer anywhere? If not, is there any way I can do this automatically? I just want to be able to check back on things in the future if need be.

No. If something dodgy happens or if someone rates you badly, take a screenshot at the time. x

Has anyone else been having problems with the encoder freezing when you first start it? I've tried uninstalling chrome and re-installing it and I've disabled Kaspersky but its still freezing up and says (not responding) at the top? This has been going on for almost a month. Sometimes I wont have any problems with it and then other days I can log in and out over and over and it keeps freezing and says "not responding". Anybody else having this problem or know how I can fix it?

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.

Thank you! And a huge thanks to

So I know the rules regarding NO incest play, but it's OK to do step-parent/step-child play. What if then within the show the guy starts calling me "Mommy"? Do I have to correct him and say "no, it's STEP-mommy" or can I let it go, as often step parents are called mom/dad anyway, as long as I have specifically agreed to a STEP-parent role play?

Thanks :) I know step is allowed, but what if they start calling me Mummy/Mommy within the Exclusive paid time? I am thinking that as long as I have agreed to STEP (perhaps even typing it out for clarity), and as long as I don't refer to MYSELF as Mummy/Mommy, then I'm within the rules?

I have this same fustration constantly. Doing a stop mom or step sister roleplay and they constantly refer to me as mommy or sis. I never quite know how to handle it. I have had success redirecting and even working it into the show. "Oh honey I'm not your Mommy, I'm your STEP Mommy." Sometimes they catch on. I would love a solid answer as well.

I'm new & a little confused lol... I guess once they are in paid chat you start earning money?? ... I tried the SM broadcaster & encoder it can me a link to copy, I dont understand what that is. What is an external encoder? & how do you use it on SM?
Sally Says
02-04-2016, 05:00 AM
if yo use sm broadcaster, that is the external encoder. Other options are adobe encoder or OBS (open broadcast software) if you can get the sm broadcaster to work though, it is more straight forward and will get you better placement. when it works

Thanks. When I tried the SM broadcaster it never let me stream, it just showed SM broadcaster but wouldn't load my cam at all :/

The broadcaster already gets you better placement? Ugh... I guess I better try it out? I really am dreading that. But I've seen my placement be in the top 2 rows and still had zero traffic. So... maybe its not even worth it at this point?

just asking.. when u check your placement is that from a guest's view? or a member's view( after u log in as a member).
they can vary not greatly but..1-2 rows sometimes.. or more..

Has it been confirmed that there is a placement boost when using the broadcaster?... Not sure which one is better to use because there is a placement boost for the 720 encoder settings, but when I use the broadcaster, my settings are below 720, so I'm not sure which one would be better for placement.

So I checked my percentages and since Nov 24th I've went from averaging 20-25% in paid chat to averaging 5-10% in paid chat. Anyone else getting this? What can I do to boost it a little? Or is it just hours worked and time of year?

I think that's why your traffic is off. My rep told me that Geo blocking fucks with the traffic. That's also why you haven't gotten a tv offer. (I remember you said you haven't gotten one. I don't get offers because I think SM hates me).
As for the broadcaster, it actually lowers my placement. I just can't fucking win.

But I think even if you block one state, it still fucks with the traffic. I only had one state blocked as well. When I unblocked, traffic tripled. Same for a cam friend. I told her to unblock and everything changed....traffic, placement, tv broadcasts.

Test it. See what happens. If traffic is still low, then turn your Geo block back on. I dontvwant you being nervous or uncomfortable. Let me know how the traffic is.

I'm not blocked at all.. and I'm halfway down page 1 most of the time.. and traffic is still shitty. I went from 35% in paid chat to barely scraping with 11% the past 3 weeks.

I took off geoblock recently for the reasons stated above and went from being on page 6 or 7 to page 3-5 and page 1 or 2 of petite and blonde (i know, still not ideal but it is better). I also noticed a slight increase in traffic...still dead tho. It really didn't do that much for my income, but i do like the bump in placement. seems not much can be done on SM to increase cashflow rn..it's all luck and waiting games!

Upping my game: split camming two sites at a time between three (SM constant, swap between CR and CB) and been running voyeur gold shows all morning. It's just a few $ here and there, but getting paid to wash the dishes and do my work nude is pretty cool.

IMO the issue is traffic/SM. It really seems like they aren't pushing traffic. Them not fixing the glitches and being rude to customers isn't helping either. This week I've been checking other girls rooms next to mine as well as models who are in the top row of the site. Alot of rooms are showing 5-10 people even with gold shows running. Some rooms are showing even lower numbers than 5. The only thing you can really do is start pushing your own traffic and putting more eggs in your basket.

02-05-2016, 11:04 AM
I dont understand why they would be doing that. Do they just not care? Do they know something we dont? Maybe they're going bankrupt or something. Time to break into indy after putting it off for so long I guess. I really wanted to avoid going back to naked.com but I dont like the other sites. Streamate used to be such a great source of income for me when I first started a couple years ago and now it's just been in the toilet what seems like forever. I guess they've given up on their own site. Time to start moving on I guess

Is your percentage in paid chat listed on the site, or do you need to calculate it yourself?
Sorry if this has been asked already, I tried looking it up and couldn't find my answer.
