With the new updates, how do you find the "adjusted earnings"? I didn't really compete in the contest, but it's fun to know if I got anything at all:p

It appears as a weblink somewhere near the top of your paysheet. Its easy to miss if you aren't looking for it.

I know it's been listed in this thread before, but I can't locate it, about who the customers are whose name appears in Black, Gray or as Anonymous.
What is the consensus here of who these different types of people are when we're watching a model?
Before posting this I sent a request to SM Support and they sent this back, which doesn't make sense to me:
"The user in bold font are the users typing, and the others are users in the chat or anonymous."
I much appreciate your clarification.

Hi girls
i am just curious : which was the minimum amount to earn a bonus on the second part of contest? I didn't earn nothing but I just want to know how close I was
i dont have idea, u must be in the top 200 of girls who made most money, the only thing i know is... im usually in the middle of page 1 and i never earn anything LOL... so that means .. the girls behind me in 2, 3 and 4 page make more than me =( !! im curious too
^^^ How do u know the girls on pages 2-4 make more than u, u know for sure or u assume it?
Technically is very possible cause a lower ranking model working long shifts and making money consistently can beat a higher ranking model working short shifts for example (my case), even i have good placement i just dont cam a lot of hrs so the girls placed lower than me on site can make more actually.

Placement doesn't have everything to do with earnings. :) katm is right. I was hovering between the last row of page 1 and the top of page 2 on the first day of the contest and did very well. Better than models on page 1 row 1.
Placement is cool and can help, but you can kick ass anywhere you want.

i assume, because im sure they win in the constests, are 200 bonus, and u right girls, the placement its not the most important, maybe a lil of more traffic, but if they work more than me, yes they will make more than me u right, im just saying i never earn, or maybe im so expensive so im more in free chat than other models...

I do wish there was an anonymous way to just know where I rank earnings wise. Not because I care what other girls make, but because it's incredibly motivating when I can see what is possible and how close I am to moving up a spot. Sort of how cams.com has the model of the day ranking - I sort of hate that it shows the models names but I love seeing where I am landing. Makes me want to earn that next 3 cents or whatever to move up a spot. Also on contest days it would be nice to know if I am even close to the running or what I would have to make to be in the running. Not that I tried this last contest, but I digress. I have worked call center sales jobs for years and there was always daily, weekly and monthly sales stats that let me know where I was. Perhaps it's a crutch I need to get over, but just knowing where I rank has always been very helpful to motivate me to improve.

Ok, I have a question. When you are performing, there's that little 3 2 1 camera icon that takes your picture every so often. But when I am perving - I mean - browsing, I notice that some girls have their profile picture up, while others seem to have a shot of what's currently happening in their room. (All of them being currently online) Anyone have deets on this? Is it a setting I am missing, or not-optional based on, something or other? I'd rather have my profile picture displayed than room picture.
Thanks :)

you can have a static picture for your profile pic - just email support and ask them to make your bio pic static and they will

If they work more than you, than there is a good chance they make more than you. Im on the front page and my rates arent cheap. Just stick with the rates your comfortable with and there are customers that will pay. My private rate is 9.99 and I always get long shows in there.

I just did a search for this but nothing specific came up in the search results. I want to start recording my gold shows to edit them into clips. I know there's a record button in the encoder, and I have tried that before but there's no video file when I go to look for it. Does anyone have experience recording through the encoder? I'm using a mac, fyi.

Well, you'd have to share outside information, so no.
Like SM basically want you to pretend like it's the only site in the world while you're on it and I can't see them not seeing that as an off-site payment.

Yeah it's a shame, but I bet most of the people offering outside payment/gifts have no money to spend anyway. If they did they wouldn't have any problem tipping you. It's probably not much off a loss on your end.

Not sure if it's different for Macs, but when you save recordings from the encoder you have to convert the file into a video file. Find a converter (there's a free one you can use on Google, although I recommend getting a better one.. I personally use Skysoft) and then convert it and you should be good to go.

It's VERY easy for them to up their limit, I had a customer yesterday hit his limit and get booted from the show, he contacted support and was back less than 15 minutes later with another $100 to spend.

Block sessions can be private or exclusive. It's a normal private/exclusive, no extra privacy, just that your custie gets a discount off the price and pays for the whole block even if they leave halfway through.

Is anyone else getting really short shows on SM? Like 1 to 3 minutes max?
I have for about the last 2 or so weeks. I'm talking like over 100 shows.
I even asked regs when they go exclusive if they can see, hear me and if my stream is OK. They say it is fine. I then ask about their connection, and they say it's fine. Then poof, they are gone without even letting me start the show.:

Or is this the new normal now on SM?
Thanks in advance.

Hi glam
Yea i have had that alot recently myself, even been having guys coming in and out numerous times trying to stay connected, some come back and try others just leave. I know they have been trying to come back because regs are telling me the same thing that new guys are that they keep getting booted out. I dont understand it but it has to be so frustrating to them when they are trying to get off paying for our services and cant stay connected. Not all shows have been like that but lately a majority have been for me atleast so youre not alone with this. Some even say what happened? Or new guys ask why did you boot me out of pvt.. im like i didnt and i dont know what happened.

This has always been the case on Streamate. The majority of the shows I get are under 5 minutes. Most of these guys are cheap so they'll start jerking before even taking you to a show...that way they are ready to bust after taking you private. This is why I hike my rates way up...if they are only going to stay a few minutes then they are still going to pay dearly.

Thank you both for You speedy responses.
That does make sense.
I lowered my premium rates because of it, so at least I can have a few guys in there at once.
Pisses me of, because my earning are half of what they normally are.
*I'm not a free chat kind of girl, so sitting in there a long time with higher rates, waiting, just makes me log off.
I can perform straight through for hours though, so I guess I should keep it as it is for now.
Damn it!

I'm sure you're being totally serious and not sarcastic about that at all :angel: but I feel like that's kind of a shitty propaganda campaign. I don't love the idea of a SM rep coming here to 1) post speculation about a controversial topic that we stopped discussing a week ago, 2) posting a couple times about her above-average earnings, and 3) telling newbs not to listen to us when we say that many members of our community don't want to discuss/compare our earnings. /:O
Tip to SM: even if it's a complete lie, the best possible propaganda you could give us would be "We've noticed your concerns and are taking them into consideration."

Yes I've had a lot of shows nearly the same length probably varying by the second. Most guys r probably setting an insanely low daily limit. Probably around $50 so shows literally end before the 10 minute mark

This week I started having problems with my published frames per second. I've always had my published frames per second hovering around 30, but this week I'm stuck at around 10 frames per second. I'm using the encoder with the recommended settings for a mac and have my frame rate set at 30 before I broadcast. My bitrate and round trip time are unaffected. Is anyone else having this issue? What is the most likely culprit? Comcast? I'm not great at tech stuff so any help is greatly appreciated! This issue is really messing with my placement.

Comcast also had outages this week and prevented me from working after 4pm this week. Maybe it affected you too. I had major fps issues as well

yeah, a particular member has been banned more frequently by myself and the other mods more times than any of us can count. at this point even TG would be "wow, this is excessive" :O
it's ridiculous and pretty pathetic, to me at least
I figure since this person is clearly looking for attention, the new strategy when I ban will be to also delete their posts. I try not to delete/edit ish too heavily but at this point leaving troll posts up is serving only to reward those who create new accounts frequently after being cumulatively banned for poor conduct.
what y'all could do to help is report each time the member returns (huge thanks to y'all who've been doing that, gracias chicas), easier clean-up after the fact and denies them the satisfaction of knowing they got peeps all riled up when we don't take the bait.
kinda sad situation too, the member could actually be a valuable contributor here if they had been willing to conduct themselves with some semblance of dignity and respect for others.
but yeah, this is really ridiculous. gracias to y'all for your continued patience

Hey! This is my first post on here, but I thought I should respond since I had the same issue. As soon as they updated the requirements for the broadcaster, I could no longer stream at higher than 10 fps with my macbook. I have a C920. After updating my OS, buying more RAM, trying an ethernet cable, and trying all my macs (pro, air, and iMac), I contacted Logitech. It turns out that it is not supported for a mac to stream at the higher HD settings that we have to use because you can't use the Logitech software on a mac. I ended up having to go out and buy a PC that I stream from now. I would imagine you could also run parallels (free trial and $80 for a download). If someone else found a workaround, hopefully they can help you out because that isn't exactly the most cost friendly option!
