I see this leaderboard like an old battle tactics : Divide et Imperam. In other words : "you girls fight outside SM and we can whatever we want with the site".As long as we are fighting/talking here SM people can stay chill and do nothing

^^ Is it though? Cause I have seen lots of these on SM and I dont recall reading anything about not being allowed to do that in the code of conduct or anywhere else. But I may be mistaken. Its been a long time since I read those rules.
I have the info kind of a roundabout way. I asked Katy if separate voyeur accounts were still a possibility, and she said, no, do voyeur shows under your own account... and make sure it's live, because they're cracking down on recordings.

Another example of video loop : RemyCheeks
HA! Now we see how they put up fake accounts on site and make members pay for video on loop instead of live performance while SM keeps all the money, this is no new tactics but now we see all clearly in the leader board.
The "No video to be played as live stream" rule does not exist in Code of Conduct but i remember i read it somewhere, anyway, all sites have this rule, i read it every time on sites, they specify 'live on cam always'.

I have 4 intermission videos that I play after exclusive shows to give me more time get dressed, go pee and get back on cam. Has a text crawl across the bottom saying this is a video. Just finished a private show. Check out my videos and photos be back in 3 minutes. It also used to say Follow me on Twitter. That bought me a 2 day suspension. lol. If anybody needs to check their placement on SM follow @hotgingercams or @gingerstcyr DM me and I will take a screen shot and send it to you. Have a day job so this only happens late afternoon and night.

I was wondering how ladies checked their placement. I have my city/area geoblocked so I can't see or find myself.

Hi, I'm new here :) I've recently joined SM and I'm really enjoying it! However, I'm based in the UK and payment is A little tricker here. I've signed up to payoneer and they haven't approved me, even though it's been over a month and I've sent them numerous emails requesting help!!! Do any of you UK girls have any other options regarding quick, inexpensive payment?
I'm not working ATM because I'll just get chequers which costs me money and takes 6-8 weeks to even clear.
Any help would be greatly appreciated :P

Yes it is against the rules. Liz said all cam performers have to be live, not recordings. However over the last few years I have seen several profiles that are only video.

I think Streamate would have better put only a small info for each profile with : your rank is "x" and that's it.
Not the entire top. I feel those girls will get harrased by other jelaous models. Not all are able to mind their own business. There are a lot of envyous and jelaous bitches who don't like to learn from other success and work and they will try to dig their grave and troll them.

If they're cracking down I have yet to see it. SloaneCam is 100% a recording and her feed has been up for THREE YEARS. Three years AT LEAST. Who knows how much longer it could be.
The account keeps repeatedly being reported, and even a bunch of models sent SM messages/tweets about it and they said they would look into it, but it's been at least a year since then and it's still running, soooo.

Honestly, I like SM, it's my favorite site, I just wish they weren't so fucking weird about this shit.
The dumbasses who are stupid enough to take a recording into a show obviously aren't the type who would be buying shows from me, so I'm not losing out on anything.
It just sucks that they're clearly aware of it, lie to our faces about it, and even monitor the ratings and comments. I've heard from numerous people who take the recording into a show and rate it poorly/leave a comment saying it's a recording and it NEVER shows up on the profile. If you go look at the ratings, there are very few poor ones and NONE of them mention a recording. I'm pretty sure they let a mediocre one go through every once and a while just so it looks legit.

"Tera Patrick" also is a recording! It's so weird they use her name, photos, and it's clearly a recorded video with terrible quality. If she gets compensated for that, cool. But if not, that's fucked up. And, it's a misrepresentation of the performer.

Yep. Its SOFTWARE that's why. I asked my hubby and he was like "the program is setup to block you automatically if you type in certain key phrases or words." Hubby is always right with theories. :) I did this too with another performer, and i'd say in a millisecond i was blocked. Like there was no way a human did it!

I think the reason they have them going is for marketing or if cams go down, they still have active ones going.
It's retarded, but if those dudes are dumb enough to fall for a recording. DUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMB!
Come to us REAL camgirl if you want an authentic show.
That's why I have no problem doing their say this or do this so I know you are real.

OMG I was just watching one of the top girls in between doing Gold Shows, and she has ads of her videos running! Is that even allowed? Some have penetration and down below nudity so it can't be. She has a tiny little square of her normal "live" cam, so she's still in the picture. I Have screenshots but I know I shouldn't post them in the public forum...

She has it edited like Japanese censor if I remember correctly.
also guys you can penetrate yourself in freechat if you don't show actual genitals. I asked support and that's what they told me after I inquired about seeing a model openly doing it and wanted to know if it was allowed. If you want email proof, I gots it.

well left the studio and back to just streamate and wouldn't you know my first hour i made my old hourly back just like that got two ratings albeit one was a 3 but oh well and i am on the first page very close to the top rows i was 5 down 7 down and it slowed just a bit and then i was 10 down but i still had people in my room who actually say hello and was getting pvts and exclus the whole hour !! I am very excited and cannot believe it took me this long to see the problem i always thought but never really knew until recently !! I made my nearly 30 an hour for one hour instead of sitting for 4 with 7 bucks!! i am one happy bitch right now and i cannot wait to put all the hours in and make a g a week or more probaly more though since the hourly is so high and i plan on working ten to 12 even 14 hours every day not missing any days unless im that tired sick or an emergency or event that i just cannot miss!! STREAMATE I LOVE YOU sorry i ever strayed from you!! I will open tits anytime for u bb!!!!

When I had it 3 years ago, you have to stay up on it. Support seemed like they were constantly bugging me to update. I had it for 4 months, but I got rid of it when I was being forced to blog. Um no thanks. I got so iritated one day and I posted a diary entry saying:
"Today I walked to my mailbox, but there was no mail. Maybe tomorrow Mr. Postman."
It was not approved. But most of my diary entries were all fucking lies. At the end I would write "lol jk" They never caught on.
But if you can maintain that, by all means, do it! Regs will more likely subscribe to it since the private discount. Nice way to make passive income on SM. Remember the vids you make for SM's gold club, they own the rights. So you cannot resell them on other sites.

Is it normal that my CPU usage during streaming is still 50-60% even though I have i7 quad core processor and 16 GB of RAM?? I'm splitting between SM (encoder) and 2 other sites, but still... I thought that kind of laptop handles much more. I've noticed that after my CPU exceeds 50-55%, stream quality begins to degrade...

:rotfl::rotfl: This made me laugh so hard. Thank You for that.
I would probably write the same in my blog, because sadly in my case it's true.
I feel like my entire life is sitting by the window, waiting for the damn mailman to get here. My bipolar roommate who doesn't even get mail here, tries to run out before me to snatch it.( Long story).
And I'm either waiting for a check, a package, etc. Stupid landlord accidentally knocked over the mailbox off its stand when he did yard work, so now it doesn't stay upright, or close.
And if someone dares to park in front of it, I lose my shit!
So, yeah, I could do a daily blog on this subject alone.

Hello everyone, a question about SM galleries. Do the photos show in the gallery in the same order as uploaded, or does it get reversed (like, the first one is the most recently uploaded)? Also, can you reorder the pictures if something went wrong?

Nope, he'd have the money returned. Better bet is forcing him to buy a block session and booting him after 5 minutes, then screen shotting it and sending it to support so they don't refund it if he tries to argue the case.

Is his name thatoneguy? I just kick him no problem and able to keep the earnings. Just always screenshot just in case. When you ban, he doesn't get charged. Have him tip for each kick if he comes back.

Hey just a warming I think I had that guy. He's a liar and rates one star. Idk if it is the same paypig, but he said literally word for word what you wrote, except to me in exclusive and he rated one star. I got the rating removed bc of screenshots of him calling me his fucking princess. Anyway, he is full of shit I think, but he will pay, BUT he is a one star rater, so be CAREFUL girl. Drain him and consider banning before he rates you badly :/

My CPU gets high if I try to stream without being on my laptop's high performance power settings, make sure you're not on an eco or balanced power plan.

Thanks Katy, I started my shift at 9am (australian time) this morning and it's been hot for 3 hours straight. :)
Ty Katy, glad to know it was not just me struggling here, i hope SM slows down with the contests and start to buy traffic like before so we can make money again every day at work not just during contests where i dont participate anyway, i think a lot of us want the 'old' SM back ;), cant wait to get back on cam after i had my period and a cold at the same time, this was difficult to handle OMG! xx

Yup same guy. Calls me Princess. He did two relatively short exclusive chats and didn't rate, and when a gold show was happening he didn't put anything towards it. Thanks for the heads up.
