Curious if u have good placement and if u use encoder with around 6mbps?
Is it ok for earnings or do I definitely need faster for SM will it make a huge dufference?
I have 6 Mbps ( about 6.50 but sometimes it goes down to 5)
ping is low and download is in 40s
i moved to new place finally and other than internet question am ready to start and waited with starting on SM for when I can focus on the site and decorated my place - I want to make good use of my model status and make lots of money
please let me know if I should also get faster internet to start or should I start with this one - will it matter?
Thanks a lot!
You should be great. Those speeds are the same I receive from my cable company & use SM's Broadcaster.
Mine is reading 37.23mbps down, 6.22mbps up.

For what it's worth, my bitrate, FPS and RTT are all at their highest possible ranking, and have been for months, and this week has been terrible for me on SM. Like, absolutely appalling traffic, none of it paying. No tech issues. It's just slow as all get out. 0% time in paid chat level of slow.

hey guys sorry if this has been asked before but do u think i should let my chat be free for everyone or only have the guys with the credit cards talk?
I believe Katy has mentioned that converting those guys into paying customers is a big contributor to improving your placement on the site. Some girls said they have saved messages to send in free chat to try to encourage them to sign up with a credit card/buy a show. That way you don't really waste time talking to them, but you might get some conversions.

Question! Can they still rate or comment if you blocked them? I blocked someone while in private but he left a comment with no rating.

I got a 1 star rating from someone I blocked in a private, no comment though. Support removed the rating for me when I asked them to. I was just saying on this thread not long ago, I hate that the customer even has the ability to comment/rate when we block them in a private, because that's just another step we have to take to write support and get it removed.

The same guy owns sm that always has ,he never sold it that's a false rumor.I was just talking with him this week
you must be somebody that knows them because the only 2 posts you've put seem like you are "inside" Streamate. Claiming to have talked to Shawn (owner of SM) that is...

I didn't know they could still rate and comment after being blocked in private. I blocked the fuck out of him. He wrote 'bb' for comment, LOL!

There are lot's of topics of this kind here but i haven't found my case... Maybe someone was in similar situation and can help me. I registered 2 months ago on Streamate and i started earning quite a satysfying money for me after awhile. I got a job and wasnt there 5 days. When i logged in in the weekend i earned 10 dollars during 3 days while before i could earn 100 during one day. I started being on SM 1 hour per day following week. Whole week i earned 90 dollars and yesterday nothing through 2 hrs! I don't know what to do. I cant even find my profile , it must be so far in the ranking. Can someone advice me what to do ? I cant live off only from my bad salary.

I think what happened was you were new and got extra traffic then you started working less = your ranking dropped = less money.
Work more, be consistent and make sure all your video stream is good!

When I keep at it regularly I quickly do quite well and pick up regs. I've moved and had a nightmare with broadband so haven't been on and I will really pay for it I'm sure but in a couple of weeks it normally sorts itself out. It's not a quick earner in my experience you get back what you put in on SM

You arent on there enough to build up regulars, get five star ratings and move up in ranking. Look at the Rating section on your dashboard.

Np. I use a cloud service to store my vids and send the links to download or to watch on browser depending on the context of the vid. You can't have any contact info on your videos. You can use OneDrive, GoogleDrive, DropBox, Mediafire, orrrr Project Maenad, made for cam models by a cam model. https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?192827-Project-Maenad-LAUNCHED!-Secure-file-sharing-for-camgirls!

guest chat.. is where people talk to us
then below is the free chat.. where the lurkers are right
sooo usually youd have people in free chat no matter what.. for weeks now i have had 0
Ill have people in guest chat...
so im wondering whats going on..
anyone else have this issue?
BiscuitT
07-25-2016, 11:20 PM
^^ Same. I have 0 people in free chat but I know they´re there because I see what they say. It´s been like this for a few weeks now and it bothers me because I like to see who´s there and I actually pay attention sometimes cause they sometimes become paying members (not too often but it happens). Last time I´ve been online for a brief moment I got to see them and then when I restarted they went ghosts again. I wonder if it will be back to normal anytime soon...

07-25-2016, 11:25 PM
right. im glad its just not me. i wrote liz and she had me give her my info... i mean my side is fine.. but where the eff... is the traffic.....i use to have like a ton of them in my room at one time. and its like.. a ghost town.
Hoping it gets resolved soon. im gonna restart everything and not use wifi... never thought wifi caused a problem.. never had for me before.. so maybe i need to hook myself up to a cable and see if it helps.
anyone else have this problem?

I have 4G internet and I cannot use wifi for streamate! wifi works great with any other website or Skype but on Streamate I am just choppy and my placement drops way down and there is no traffic. You have to plug yourself in. Its a big pull uploading and downloading all that data and you dont want to leave it to a wifi connection.
Also I find that after just about every private and really every exclusive session or GS I need to restart. Just log out, close the broadcaster and then open a new window and restart the whole thing from scratch and all my traffic comes back but when I dont restart there is little to no traffic for the first 5 to 15mins that Im back in my room. I have no idea why this is or if Im just paranoid but now I dont even question it I just restart whenever my room gets slow and like magic traffic comes back.
I am a top row model so I normally expect there to be a minimum of 5 guys in my room at all times unless I am up to something. Lots of guys just park in my room and I allow it and lots just come to talk so when there is no one or just one or two guys I know its time to restart.

YYYEEESSSS!! I posted about it a while back, but recently. Yes. Even to the point that convo shows up and that annoying light turns red.....but no one in that part of the room count or list. For a FEW weeks at least. Its wierd.

Honestly I just ignore the free chat bit, if they add a card we only get something when they spend with us, I prefer to spend my energy converting people who already have a payment option to become my customers :)

I block the free chat and always have but I used to see who was in there. Now it always says zero. I know there's free loaders in there so it must be a glitch

It definitely is.
I've always had the section enabled, everyone just disappeared from it one day. Their chat still comes through but there's less of it than there used to be. I'm not sure if that's just due to the summer slowdown or maybe there being a glitch with that as well.
They don't even show up in rooms on members ends either, in name or in room count. Their names used to be listed in grey and they used to count towards room counts but they don't show up there at all anymore. It should really be fixed IMO, they may be mostly useless but without them the site looks even more like a ghost town.
Also it's fucking weird that people not logged in at all count towards the room, but free users don't.

Is there a way to hide or delete member comments on your profile as well as tags?
KatyBoleyn
07-28-2016, 03:25 PM
Tags you can get rid of easily, I think its just a little "x" next to it you click and they're gone. Member comments can be removed by emailing support.

My placement has fallen several rows in like the last 3 days. I am not doing anything different. It wasn't a gradual fall either and I did not take several days off. All of my stats on the ranking page are excellent . I don't get it. I noticed last night that placement was all over the place for some girls so must be some site glitches. Has this happened to anyone else? It has taken me so long to build up. This has happened to me before and it will fix itself in an hour or 2 but it has never lasted 3 days. If anyone has any advice or fixes I would be SOOO grateful!

Im still waiting for my check from the july 3-9 and 10-16 im not sure why i am not getting my checks i always get my mail my roommates always put my mail in front of my door or i simply get them handed to me so i know nothing fishy is going on there support finally got back to me and told me i had to wait the 45 days id like to get to the bottom of why my SM checks arent being put in the mail box but everything else is (bills packages etc). i know support wont help and all liz said was "we put the checks in the mail and thats the last we see of them." a bit bitchy in my opinion and i felt like i got blown off so i have no clue what to do aside wait the month and a half to get my checks and what happens if those checks dont come in either ? all i know is im done with sm until i get my money theyre traffic fucking sucks now i sit in front of my computer for hours ive been on everyday and havent made a cent since the week of 10-16 anyway ppl wont even talk to me they just leave my room faster then my end registered theyre even going in my room plus the fact the weeks of 3-9 and 10-16 i only made 30 all week both those weeks i know thats not a lot but it would pay my internet bill so i see no point in logging in anymore. something is up with their tech and now theyre just not paying me in my eyes at this point

Tonight was decent after a terrible, terrible week. Traffic was about the same but the quality of the traffic seemed much better. I hope you ladies have a great Friday night and Saturday. I won't be on SM again until Sunday. Lets hope the poor traffic this week was just part of the summer slough.

There IS a possibility that he thought 1 was the best, instead of 5.
I've had that happen many times.
Just have it removed, and remind guys to rate a 5 in all of your sessions.
Side bar: During a show yesterday, I asked a new guy to remember to rate a 5. He didn't speak English well ( Italian), so he started tipping me $5 gold in the session. Lol! Too cute. I'll take it.

So is Streamate going so glitchy for anybody else? People can´t see me in private, when I try to watch my own stream I seem to be in private but I´m not...I don´t know what to do. Beside that my rtt is really bad because I live in a third world country and internet here is expensive as the best but the quality is worse that Zambia´s...todays is acting up all the time and I have a huge delay.
EdenChan
07-31-2016, 04:49 PM
Streamate was mad glitchy for me today as well. For me it was more my placement, I can't really check my placement cause I've got geoblocks on but I can usually tell by my room traffic. I've had to restart the show many many times changing settings on the encoder little by little until I just gave up and went for a walk. When I came back things were back to normal so it seems. My RTT is also ranges from good to omfg-i-didn't-know-it-could-get-this-slow. And I live in Canada.
I don't have much of a solution except wait it out and try again unfortunately. Hope they get their shiz together soon though.

Question...
Is it possible to hide your room count? I've logged in using my customer account and noticed some of the girls have a room count number and other have a "?" mark next to it. Some of these girls with hidden room count numbers are top girls, and obviously have people in their room.
Thanks!!!

Log in using "Classic Chat" instead of "Party Chat" to have your room count hidden to others.
