That was my next best idea too, but I don't think she works on weekends, so I have to wait till tomorrow. It appears I might not be the only one dealing with the ratings not being counted currently, so at least I don't feel like I am taking crazy pills anymore. lol
Yes, I've had similar problems with having all 5 star ratings (and much more than the minimum required to not reset) in the past 90 days but it showing as 4.5 too. You aren't taking crazy pills!

Has anyone ever had trouble with their average rating not updating? I'm stuck at 4 stars despite having 6 or 7 five star ratings received between December 8 and December 15 (my rating reset due to inactivity). I really have 7 total ratings, but only 6 show on the main page (first glitch there). My rating has always updated within a couple days at most of reaching the magical 5 ratings, but not this time. I'm not sure how to handle it. Was hoping the new week reset would fix it, but it hasn't. Support has not had anything intelligent to say other than the process is automated, but I seem to be stuck in a matrix glitch. Is there anything I can do to speed up the calculation process? I am stuck in a very shitty position, pages and pages back, so it's already a struggle to make any money at all or get more stars faster (been back and working towards a better rating for 2 weeks now).
Yes this happened to me recently. Sunday 11th Dec I received 2 x 5 star ratings. Although they show on my earnings page and show which customer left the rating, they did not show on the main 'ratings' drop down tab on the main page. So I emailed SM support (with customer name/time of show/date of show etc)........ got a reply back asking 'was it the customer who TOLD you that they gave that rating?'! So I sent a reply back with screenshots showing the ratings under the respective customer tabs and have had no reply whatsoever back and the ratings have still not updated automatically.
I emailed Liz on Friday about this but have not received a reply yet, most likely as it was Friday when I sent it and she doesn't work weekends I imagine. Hopefully she will be able to sort it out.

Please keep us posted englishgal if and what Liz replies. I would rather not bug her if they are aware the problem exists. I sent support screenshots too, but haven't heard anything back in two days since they said they supposedly forwarded my details to the right department.

Oh, and yeah the 4 star thing is def glitchy, I dropped down but still had more than (9 i think?) in 90 days so who knows. It hasn't stopped me from making dough though so i wouldn't worry too much.

What do you do if someone doesn't log off after a show? The guy said thank you and then nothing. I sat there a while got dressed and tried to speak nothing.. Then it clicked out a few minutes later he had hit it maximum? He didn't talk much during so wondered if it was a voyeur thing?

^^I think that means there was lag so when he left the lag continued so you were just sitting there by yourself technically. Like a lot of times when I am doing c2c, the guy finishes and he says goodbye and turns his cam off, and I know he's left but I'm still sitting there for like ten seconds afterward because of the lag.

Hi Ladies,
So u I uploaded a pic to my gallery yesterday and I need it removed as it turns on I also put it on my aw profile and on aw your three profilepics have to be unique to aw and not on any other sites. I saw online that on sm you can ask images to be removed if uploaded by mistake in a 24 hour window. I'm within that so have emailed. Quickone - how many pictures can you have on your sm profile before you can start deleting pictures? as currently it wont let me delete any and I think I have ten uploaded or less?
thanks

Me and my husband just started camming on SM almost 2 months ago. I signed up through I-Camz and I had no idea what the difference was at the time ( I wish I did research )
Since starting i've averaged anywhere between $250-$350 a week, which is okay. I have severe epilepsy and this is kinda our only income since i'm housebound.
We've got a little following. Not huge though. I'm trying to use twitter and tumblr as often as possible but even though me and my husband are together on this, he's pretty much just a human dildo to my customers eyes.
I'm very lonely in the cam world. If anybody would like to befriend me. I would really appreciate it. I'm very nice but shy and i'm not an asshole at all.
Even some constructive criticism would be nice, because with no end in sight with my seizures, camming is going to be a big part of my life right now and I really want to succeed, whether it's with my husband or not, because he is totally cool with me doing solo shows and I have no worry about whether he's going to be weird about what I have to do/say which is cool.

@Jupiter77 I'll be your friend! I struggle with mental issues too (severe adult ADHD) and totally understand that feeling of loneliness. In fact everyone's pretty friendly on Stripperweb, just find a relevant thread and post away, you'll be part of the community in no time.
Guys, did I fuck up by banning a paying customer? We were already in private when he wanted me to smack myself till I bled, and because I'm on a new account (changed to join Boleyn) I didn't want to risk saying no and end up with a low star rating. So I acted nice and ninja banned him mid-private. Now I'm worried he might complain to SM and get me in trouble, especially since he was paying and not just being a douchey freeloader.

I ban at the first hint of behaving like an asshole whether they are paying or not.
You'll get your ratings up, no need to say yes to anything you don't want to do! Also most of the time they will remove any bad ratings if you screenshot things like that. We are not required to do things like that and in fact doing anything that would make you be injured or bleed is totally against the rules. If you had done it you could be banned for it. I'd report him.

Awh thanks! I've been needing a friend. Going crazy in my house!
As for that! I had a similar situation. I had somebody buy a block session in exclusive and wanted me to shove needles thru my nipples! I immediately contacted SM and told them what had happened and I got paid for the session and didn't get in trouble because I had banned him.

If he complains, the worst that would happen is he'd get some money back. Since you weren't breaking any rules, Streamate can't really suspend your account or anything. And obviously the dude was asking for some sick shit. Other girls have most likely banned him, too.

Does anyone know what sbabes is? I keep seeing commercials for it on TV and the symbol they are using is the SM symbol. The models they have listed on the front page of their website don't seem to be SM models though.

Its a Streamate affiliate/white label. Their promo material and website looks like standard marketing package stuff.
As for star ratings, you have to make sure they're from "unique" people. Multiple ratings from the same guy in the same week don't count more than once. We did notice that it was still a bit glitchy lately though, so most people aren't imagining things.

Hello, I have been writing since Sunday 25 because I have problems transmitting, thinking that they were problems with the computer but I change it and I still the same, my processor is i7 and I have 6GB of RAM, I have 5mbytes of internet upload and a logitech camera C920. I ask if the site has any problems and they say no, that the problem is with me, but I no longer have to do, I have a new computer and everything is still the same I can not transmit with the smbroadcaster and also with the encoder , Nor with any of the transmission options they offer, I have been connecting in 4 different places and everything is fine, if the problem was mine I could not connect in other places, can you tell me what is going on? Thank you

What exactly happens when you try to connect, need more details. Often we have issues with SM that we do not have on other sites. What router do you have, have you rebooted everything? There could be a hundred reasons, but without specifics it is difficult to tell you where to find the answer

the issue: Phat Girl Dynamite mentioned something about this a few months ago when I started to notice it too. I actually CARE about my guys and would be upset too if it I was in their shoes.
For some reason, recently, while I'm in a Premium show, guys in guest chat will tip 5 gold thinking it will get them into my private. Why is this all of a sudden happening? What has changed on the customer's end to suggest to them that tipping 5 gold would get them into my private? And please, no smart ass replies that who cares the guys are just stupid, take the gold.
Something is prompting them to think this? And a few have got upset about it and that's not right.

it says 5 gold or enter private, they think if they give you 5 gold that they can view the show

Looks like the mobile interface either is completely counterintuitive or there's an odd element blocking something. I had one of the persistent gold-senders tell me he couldn't enter pvt from his IPad because he couldn't either see the pvt button or use it (his English wasn't too good so I'm not quite sure what he meant).

Two quick questions folks:
1) Can you add bots to your streamate chat? I've seen a girl post the same message in her chat multiple times, and thus that's why I ask.
2) What links can you put in your SM profile? Are Twitter usernames, amazon wishlists, or email addresses allowed?
Thanks!

Really? I dunno, I can only assume a "social media manager" or whatever her actual job title is makes considerably less money than being a successful camgirl.
Think about it like this
401k, retirement, vacations, health insurance
Play on social media all day
they dont underpay at streamate
after 8 years, I do envy office gigs sometimes, socializing with people
office jobs envy us so its a double ended sword

You're totally right. My best friend did social media for 2 porn sites owned by the same company. She made 60k a year PLUS all benefits, office, 401k etc. It's a cushy gig.
