^^^ Just before the contest started i logged in on my dashboard and saw the huge text, i was thinking my browser page is zoomed in but no, they made it bigger and changed a few little details on it.
Looks strange somehow, compared to before i mean.
Haha, I had the same reaction yesterday! I was like, crap what did I do! It changed in the middle of the day. Haha.
Maybe they worked on some bug issues, too? :D

I'm a little hesitant to log on today. I'm worried that with the contest going on, my room's going to be super dead and I'll just be sitting there for essentially nothing. I know, I know - not going to make any money by NOT being logged in! Just need to pull the trigger!
Maybe if I go get my nails done I'll feel more motivated to ... lmao.
BY THE WAY - we have this contest today, Father's Day is this weekend, AND this weekend/Monday is the FULL MOON. Eep!

Just curious if anyone has gone to any of the cam conventions? Or met the person behind the Streamate blog/ serious fucking business site?
Everytime I'm in a show with a guy who tells me that he lives in Seattle, I want to say, " Hey, can u do me a favor?"
I never would but honestly, I 'seriously' would like to see whats going on over there.:spy:

FOR THOSE WHO RECIEVE FEDEX:
Are we required to sign for them, or does the FedEx guy just drop them in the mailbox if we don't answer?
I'm getting my first fedex today and keep having anxiety that I won't hear the guy or that he'll try to ring my broken doorbell instead lol.

Yes, after you find out your profile is approved you have 30 days in the New Model category. It used to be 30 days after your first broadcast but they changed it.

Hi ladies, my SM profile is approved today but I got my period -.- do you know how long will I have new model status? Is that period starting the moment my profile is approved or from the moment I start to broadcast?
follow them on twitter @streamatemodels they just tweeted about this same question. It starts from the first day you live stream/cam. "New Streamate Model? You will appear in the "New Model" category for 30 days from the date of your 1st live stream."

At my last apt. FedEx guy would knock at my door.
But since I'm in a house now, he just slips it under the doormat.
So I usually just keep looking out the window, and catch him.
We have lots of mail theives where I live, so that method works for me.

This week was my first time using Fedex. I just got mine. I was over at my moms and when I got home the Fedex envelope was between my doors. I also got an email saying that it was delivered.

Lately I've been getting messages from people that seem unfamiliar and I've never done a show with them. My most recent enigmatic one is "Hey babe it works". How often do you ladies get weird messages out of nowhere? Like I looked at this guy's profile and this is the first message he sent me and we've never done a show together. It seems to be happening more and more.
I had someone recently tell me something similar, it was weird. I forget what it was but it was in free chat. Checked him and no shows. Insta ban.

It very well could be guys who signed up through third party sites studios have set up to get new members. Generally those sites are "dating/hook-up" sites, or sometimes when you have bots DM you via Skype etc. I get guys writing me strange things as well, and usually that's the case. It doesn't hurt to ask something like, "sorry I don't understand please explain?" so if they tell you what site they found you on at least that way you know where you have fake "profiles".

I posted this question in the venting thread & it kind of got buried lol. Thought I would post it here too :D
Hey girls! Long time lurker here :)
I was wondering if anybody has downloaded the newest version of the SM broadcaster? Last time I updated it did NOT work for me & I was out of luck until they updated again... I'm dreading updating it lol
^^^ When u say newest u mean version 14 Beta right? So what version u had before and was not working? The last version which is labeled ver. 14 is ok now, they changed it, i cam with SMB with the last version, i uninstalled the one they launched at 1st cause it seemed buggy but then reinstalled it after a few days and it worked good during calibration & all, no crazy settings anymore but the 1280x720 directly. Give it a try and keep the old installer file in case u wanna go back to what u have now, u'll need the exe file then. Good luck.

Thanks! That's a good idea to save the exe file. I had just started using the encoder but my placement is definitely higher if I use the broadcaster. Each version has been hit or miss for me though

Those who get checks via snail mail, not fed ex, how many days does it usually take before you receive them. I realize postal takes a while. Ballpark.

SM's offices, to my understanding, are in Seattle, WA. I live on the opposite side of the country. Website usually says the checks are cut on a Wednesday - I assume they're not mailed until Thursday morning. The three checks I have received thus far were in my PO Box on Monday. So Thursday - Monday.

I always get my check on Monday and I live in Vegas. Last week I got my check on Saturday for some unknown reason.
For two years I have consistently gotten my SM checks on Mondays. I live on the West Coast. There were maybe two times ever that they randomly showed up late, and I've never had a check lost in the mail.

Another f***ing contest??! Dude wtf. I try to avoid them like the plague, but if they're going to be running them every two days, then I guess I have no choice.
Whyyyyy are they doing these so often? Is it really boosting their income that much?
Rena83
06-18-2016, 05:57 AM
Stremate isn't probably interested in individual cam girls earnings. Only that men sign on, load up, spend, and spend. It makes no difference to them if a man spends 10.00 on you and 10.00 on me when he could have spent 20.00 on you instead. They make the SAME amount of money.
They likely want as many women to sign on as possible all the time to make their site look full and have a greater selection. It makes sense for them. It sucks for everyone else.
With that said, does anyone know what's up with the geoblock feature and how it really works? It says they won't promote you off the site or something to that effect. Does having geoblock on mean they won't sell your vids to white labels? I know it means anyone with an IP address in my blocked area won't see me. I've also went a step further and asked to not be included in promotions plus geoblock and that last one pretty much ensured that I'd have no traffic. So, just wondering.

I find it hilarious when guys type their tips like we think they're gonna fall for it. I assume it's worked for them before ... but really?! It's only happened to me once, but when I saw it I full on laughed out loud. Like, ugly laughed. Haha.
A real tip will show up highlighted in a pale yellow color with a thin black outline on the top and the bottom of the line of text where it tells you who tipped how much. I don't have a screen shot for you at the moment, unfortunately. Also, if you have your sound on, etc., and selected to hear a notification sound when tipped, it sounds like a coin being tossed into another pile of coins. ... if that makes any sense. >.>

If it's a small tip, you'll hear a ding. If it's a big tip then it's glorious couple seconds sound. The best way to verify is to click on their names and look under their history. You should see it right away.

Recommended: i7 processor, 8gb ram, quadcore.
You CAN cam on lower specs than that (I remember reading that someone was using an i3 processor), but you run the risk of not being able to support HD graphics.

Attention: new streamate models, your new model period does NOT begin 30 days after your first broadcast. It was changed to 30 days after your profile was approved. Just received the email from Liz.

Looks as though he signed up through your CM link.. You earn 40% for shows he does with you & even if he spends on another model you earn 20% foreverrr....

This might be the wrong place to post this, but hoping for some imput as I couldn't find the answer elsewhere:
Does anyone have experience with the Global Transfer Service? SM released payment on Wednesday, Payoneer received and transferred it on Friday, and it's now Tuesday and hasn't hit my account yet.
When do you usually see it in your account? (I'm in Canada, so I'm not sure if that has any bearing, or other Canadian models use this service)

Hi all... Liz w/ Streamate here. I don't post often, but I see that there is some confusion on the new models page and wanted to chime in. My apologies for mixed messaging. A long while back, yes it was based on approval, but we figured out that this was not a great solution since not every model streams the moment they are approved. Anyway, this was changed a couple of years ago to be based on your first paid session. So you're on the new models page if your account is less than 30 days from your first paid session. I hope this clears things up and again, super sorry for the confusion!

How do they tip after the show? I'm assuming they don't do it back in free chat because you'd know then and wouldn't need the email. Is there an option, maybe, when they're done with their show, to tip and review perhaps? I haven't seen anywhere clients can tip when we're offline, etc. - unless I'm totally blind. But that would be awesome if guys could tip us while we were offline.

The tip shows up not only in your earnings, but in a message in your email from that custie.
For instance, when u check your inbox, you'll see a message from the custie. When You open the email, it says, The client's name, after our paid chat, sent you (the tip amount).
Gosh, I just had one guy tip me yesterday. if I could figure out how to screenshot it and post it, I would.
maybe someone could post theirs.
