Support and Liz don't give the external to just anyone. They do look at accounts and review. I hope they don't get bombarded with this.
That's true because just "putting yourself in private mode" is not going to work. You really need experience to know which situations are best to use it. It's not going to work if you are trying to avoid free chat altogether.

hear, hear ;) Carmen!
I personally woudnt use this external feature, bec rarely someone comes inside private when I am allready in there. The only time they do I have been busting my ass in freechat and driven them totally insane so they all jump in.
BUT than again I do not splitcam, I only have One Love (I even wear a ring streamate gave me; as in I bought it for myself after a hour of work just to prove myself how much I can earn WHEN i DO work... we are def still in love ;) )

Thanks, I'll try that. I think your hunch is right. Too bad they're ignoring the real hot topic of, yanno, making the site work again in favor of making sure "not just anyone" gets a button that could help models and therefore them make more money. Because that's so much more important than, say, a functional website. ;)
I really think it wont make you more, unless you husttle before using it or using it just right like Carmen said
BTW you can also just leave your room to grab something, I do that all the time when tghey take to long to take me on
Makes them know I am not there sitting ages for them and do just my own thing, also it makes them miss me for a moment. I have been running back multiple times because someone takes me on right than and there when I leave my room
still woudnt do that to often neither though. Just bust their balls and make them want it so bad they have no choice ;)
To me it woujld feel like giving up controll, because when you put the external on you have no direct power or pull anymore over them (and gosh do i love to brainfuck them)

The most I have ever made from this external show feature was 38$.
Sometimes I use it when I stream in classic chat and want to catch my breath on a slow day/can't keep up my happy face any more

SM is so silly
Don't write that you're "online now," or promote shows happening soon. It may take 48 hours for your message to be sent.
Don't send messages aimed at specific people. Make sure the message applies to the whole group that will receive it.
Don't introduce yourself each time. These members have already been to your room, so you just need to remind them why they should come back.
Don't make demands or solicit anything from your viewers. You also shouldn't ask for or share any personal information.
Don't include links or social media info. You shouldn't direct viewers off the site for any reason.
Do market and promote your show. It's a great way to share your schedule, provide updates, or thank users for previous visits.
Do plan ahead! Got a big show coming up? Schedule a group message several days in advance so there's time for it to be approved and sent.
Do be creative, positive, personal, social, and friendly. Remind users why they enjoy spending time with you.
Uh yea would love to do that but you keep making people follow silly rules. I had a message get rejected because it started with Hey Baby! I was told that because I was sending it out to a group my greeting had to be more formal. Newsflash I don't want them to know its a mass mailing. I wanted them to feel special like I was talking directly to them and them alone.
Do make sure your message follows all of the rules in the Code of Conduct.
Do learn from rejections. All rejected messages include the reason it was sent back. Use this info to improve your future messages.
The bolded part is practically the same damn thing.

I once had a message rejecting for using the word ' tip'
' Please refer to it as giving GOLD instead'
Uhm. What about no. Tip/tipping is a perfectly normal English word. What is wrong with the word 'tip' ? So the word tip is forbidden?

Sorry if this has been asked before (most probably has, and was prolly me)... Can one person have more than one profile on SM? As in two different profiles for two different personas?

No, SM does not allow you to have 2 personas. There are very few exceptions where top earning models who direct traffic to a seperate (2nd) SM profile for fan gold shows, but it's few and far between. I only know of 2 models who have them.

LOL once I had a group message rejected when I wrote that I was going to be planning a big show and wanted to send it out a week in advance and they told me it was because they "couldn't guarantee that I would actually be providing the show"
Funny how now that's what they tell you to promote through there.

I don't believe it's allowed anymore. But it was at one time. I've seen quite a few people with voyeur accounts.
Is it possible to block a member when they aren't in your room? If so how?
You have to click the block button on them while they're in a room or show. Then when they leave you can just hit the ok. Say for instance johhnyhotmeatinmypants comes into the room and says he's going to take you pvt if he can just see your tits first. So you feel generous( I never do this btw) BUT before you whip out your tits you click the block icon on Johnnyhotmeatinmypants and the box will pop up ok/cancel. If he takes you pvt you cancel it. If he l;eaves the room. Guess where the fuck he went? Into my fuck you loser pile on my blacklist. Also works for peepers.

Yay, just got a message announcing their new "Inside Streamate" blog which is basically another SMPlatinum featuring the models they like and the bullshit activities they've been up to. Isn't it what we all have been waiting for? Thank you Streamate, we're gonna roll in money now.

In the meantime, let me go and install the old version of SMB because the new one sends the stream out at the highest framerate possible, while the site isn't able to digest anything over 2500 kbps. Obviously, the tech department isn't aware over-30-FPS webcams are a thing, despite them constantly demanding all the best and the biggest from us.
This legit made me laugh out loud on cam! BWAH!

It's not just SM guys that seem to be like that. I get that a lot on other sites- instant I look busy or I am talking to many people at once some of them leave cuz they wanted 1 on 1 attention for free b4 MAYBE getting a show lmfao. It's often the same guys over and over that do that too. I started banning the 1 on 1 free/cheap attention seekers that I either can't get to go private or went once now expect me to always give them attention n shit fuck that. I ain't got no time for that.
I can send a quick text on my phone and the whole room clears out. 10 seconds max lol. I can never understand that.

IKR. Money doesn't really change, though. At least for me it hasn't. It's like hmmm should I GAF as I'm busy with other eggs? Interestingly enough I haven't been hustling SM enough to get back up to 5, but I get longer shows for some reason, make more, and my regs message me more to ask me to get online. Have you noticed a difference in your earnings? I've been bumped to page 2/3 for like 2 months now, lol.

Hi,
So I'm having huge issues with my ISP cutting in & out for a sec & then it's fine, then it does it again. Getting them to fix it is like pulling teeth.
I'm using OBS & my question is, when the frames per sec are very low & there's lots of dropped frames, how do we know if it's SM or the ISP? I'm sure it's both of them, but how can we get proof?
Thanks
P.S. I think it is SM b/c when I shut down SM & went to another site, the drop was a lot lower, BUT I wasn't camming thru OBS as I only cam on SM thru that software.

SM has been having HUGE connection issues today (see the SM venting thread).
KatyBoleyn
06-09-2017, 03:21 PM
With connection issues, probably the easiest way to see if its "you or them" is to check periodically their "total models online" number at a given time of day. If models are getting hit by the site, that number will drop to half what is normal pretty quick. If its you, your ISP, or general internet fuckery, then that number won't budge much.
Keep in mind that the number can go up and down quite a bit depending on time of day, so try to get a feel just for the times you're on usually.

It can only be used in classic chat. I know this for sure, because today was the first day I got the feature.
And thank fuck, because sitting in free chat gets old quickly, especially during the holiday.
I made over $30 my first 5 minutes using it.
It's a great feature, because men, as we know, like popular pussy.
So, I had several customers join, and stay in the private.
It Will come in handy during summer slowdown, when I'm forced to split cam.
Ladies, the very next time I went to log into SM, after posting this, the option to use the external chat feature was removed.
SM gave me some dumb reason for removing it.
But, it's pretty obvious that they read this thread, so on that happy note...
I'm out.

It depends totally on time of day, "normal" can be between 1200 and 2500 models depending on the hour. Contest weekends can double that. You'll need to just look when you're normally on to get a feel for it.

IMO it would be very hard most of the time when i type to ppl they leave. i try to save my energy and only start talking when we get past the normal small talk before i start hustling them . normally ot goes like this
user enters room
user : hi
me: hi
user has left the room

edit: So I cleared my browsing history and cookies and that seemed to work??? OMGGGG yesssss

I had that happen before with another site, something to do with cookies and I seem to remember I had to also restart my modem so try unplugging it and waiting 30 seconds and plugging back in. Something to do with the cache I think it was?
Also try another browser if that doesn't work.

I tried logging in with Safari. I logged in just fine. Then I tried logging in with Firefox and wasn't able to. I tried logging in with Safari again and then that started saying I couldn't again. Tried logging in on my phone just to see and I logged in just fine there. Went to sleep, woke up, saw your reply Laurie, decided to try logging in before I tried resetting modem and everything seems fine, even able to sign in on all browsers I have. That was such a head scratcher!! Even when it told me my email didn't exist when I tried the recover password function. I use LastPass so it wasn't like I was messing up my log in with a typo or something. Im so confused ! but whatever it works now. Crazy SM you really keep me on my toes!!

Announcing Stronger Stream Connections for All Models
From:
[email protected]
Sent: 2017-06-19 1:28pm
We've been working on several updates to improve connection quality and stability for all Streamate Models, and we're happy to report our progress!
Stronger Connections for All Models
We announced in March that performers using external encoders (such as the FMLE Flash Encoder or OBS) would start to see changes to the stream info that gets copied into the encoder. After some early hiccups, we're happy to say this new system is working great. Every stream connection has now been updated to improve quality and stability:
If you use an external encoder, you'll be sent the new link type every time you connect. This include SMBroadcast (your stream info is entered automatically, but you can see the new link if you open the "Session Log" widget). No change is needed, just start your stream the same way as before.
New tip for encoders! When you're done streaming, we recommend disconnecting using your encoder. Instead of clicking "Stop my Show" on the streaming page, use the Stop button on your encoder instead. This makes it easier for our system to track disconnections. Thank you!
If you stream with just the streaming page, we've updated it too! You'll get the same quality and stability improvements.
New Worldwide Servers
We've started added new streaming servers in locations across the world. You'll automatically be connected to a nearby server when you begin streaming, which will improve stream stability and RTT (Round Trip Time) for a lot of our international performers! More servers will be added over time.
With these updates, we expect to see less disconnections and quality drops. Keep in mind that streaming is a complex process and these issue will still come up. If you want to read more, the How Streaming Works help page goes into depth about why streaming errors happen.
We'd love to know what you think of these changes and hope you'll contact us! Choose the "Send Feedback" option to write up your thoughts. If you notice new or more frequent connection issues, choose "Submit a Request" and then the "Technical" topic to let us know more info about the problem. Thank you!

Does this mean they admit they had shit going on on their end that fucked shit up for us and they fixed it (so they say)?
