did you set up a member account to check? have you ever clicked on mens or couples rooms before?


I've been trying to find myself from my customer account.

I have never clicked on men's rooms before.


There are some girls who are still in their same placement.



But I've seen MANY top 1st page girls on the 2nd page now.


I don't get it!! :(

customer accounts do placement as similar interests now. so if you click on the same girls rooms (or your own) you'll start getting similar girls (or guys I guess) as your top ranking girls

So strange. I’ve def never clicked on any men.

I’m going to have to make a brand new customer account and report back.

This still doesn’t explain why I do not find myself anywhere. I’ve literally gone through every single page until I get to the offline accounts and cannot find me.

I didn't see it anywhere when I logged into my customer account?
Thanks

Right under the welcome in the chat log, on Firefox it is in blue like the welcome.

and xoprincessremy, how long after streaming are you checking your placement? I have that annoying glitch where it is calculating forever and I can't see myself, it happens almost every time I log in. I also had the men showing up on first page, but it only lasted a day.

This has been happening since Monday 11 am

Monday 7 am was just fine

I’m checking my placement right away after steaming and every few min for a good hour or so.

Yay, they finally added a prompt in the chat window telling CUSTOMERS that giving personal info is forbidden. I think this is kinda awesome. Time customers get made aware of the rules too.

Thank You. I see it now.
I thought it would be a notice that takes up the screen, like what we models see and click on when we go to stream.

Although it may look clearer, I'm not too happy with this new SMConnect. My audio was worse than it was before, and there is no tone when a customer enters your room. Like the audio syncs up fine, but now its an even longer wait from the time i say something to the time they hear it.

I actually got a lot of shit about this from new guys last night. They were whining and complaining that they can't send me their email address or phone number or whatever. Like "we're adults we should be able to do what we want!" -_- I was like, dudes, there are rules in place for a reason, and those have always been the rules. I don't want your contact info anyway. You wanna talk, we do it here on the site. End of story, quit your bitching.

Thankfully I've schooled my regs on sesta/fosta so at least they were understanding.

I didnt think it worked with OBS yet....being as its only halfway done and the only options I saw were SMBroadcaster and the new Chromecast (which I have to use because i live way out in the country and my internet isnt the best). I lasted all of 15 minutes. It looks sleek, but...there is no tone when dudes come in your room, Im hoping they are gonna add that shit when they finish it..plus my audio was far behind....and my feed was so far to the left of the screen it looks like im looking off screen just to look at myself...and Im a girl who looks at herself the WHOLE TIME, because im self conscious as fuck and want to make sure my angles are perfect. Its rough as fuck, but I'm hoping it will be a big improvement once its done. They dont even have C2C or phone added to it yet, so there is no way I can spend a whole shift testing that out.

It looks like they are using what cams.com uses with OBS. maybe integrating the tip toy feature?
they do say its highly recommended to use obs.
I'm going to try but like you, constantly watching myself bc members dont say a word about a fucked up stream

Its the new broadcaster, supposed to be faster for girls like me who have to use the web integrated interface (which is what the new Chromecast is), and it supports SMBroadcast as well. It looks sleek but needs a lot of work and I guess they are choosing girls to test it because the option just appeared on my dashboard at the top of the screen to test it.

This is the video I followed exactly for OBS set up: https://vimeo.com/229579793
then just copy and paste the stream key/url code in settings (stream) just like the old encoder then click "start stream"

found it! I thought I saw this :D

It doesn't drop placement. As long as you're using an encoder that really seems to be the only thing that matters. OBS was always my encoder of choice. I think the SMBroadcast was made for people who may not understand what it takes to stream and also make necessary tweaks along the way. And for that reason those who used it may get a boost but not because they are using the SMBroadcast specifically, but because now they have an encoder that detects their settings and makes the adjustments for them.

As predicted. No more external links for video downloads:

I used obs before smb buy when I had tech difficulties they couldn't help bc it was not supported.

I love obs, it streams smooth.

Oh so now they're expecting us to use their site to send videos? Last time I checked they still had that pesky clause about giving up your rights to your intellectual property by doing so.

Really?! Because I STILL see top models offering videos for Gold Show contributors even today...and they are sending links (a lot of them don't even have videos uploaded on their profile). Wonder when they will be suspended...

You can have videos uploaded to your content bank without having them published on your profile. SM have made it much easier to send out videos in bulk. You go to video manager and filter by gold show. Pick what videos you are delivering and hit send. You can also filter those who have given gold outside of a gold show and sort by amount (highest to lowest) and it pulls up everyone who has sent for your video packages.

I stand corrected. Thanks for explaining how it works...I don't fool with videos on SM because I refuse to sell my videos for 35%.

Videos are 50%, not 35%

I read the newsletter yesterday. I remember that discussion we had on here about video links and how SM was most likely going to crack down on them. Its doesn't even surprise me that they're doing it, like PGD said it was predicted. I've never sold videos or content on SM but its good to know that we get more than 35% for our content. I don't trust SM, mainly their affiliates with my content but since recorded camshows aren't really that precious and since they already record our camshows and sell them I think I will upload edited recorded camshows. Does it still take them forever to approve the videos?

Question about the videos: I have a watermark with just my name and an @ sign (like a Twitter handle) in the corner of all my clips. I also have a title page at the end of the clip that lists my Twitter, cammodels link, and C4S store (since that's where I upload everything. Its all fetish.) I assume none of that text would be allowed on SM? (Would I have to go edit all of that out and re-export the videos if I want them on the SM store?)

A rep told me you cannot point to other sites and you cannot even write as watermark "Ginny on Streamate.com" as it affects the other webmasters work on their white label sites, so just Ginny is OK. That is all I know from rep Vanessa, I think. I still have the message on SW in case anyone wants it copy pasted but it practically says the exact same thing.
If other things have changed since then, don t know.

i wonder how using this new feature is it going to affect placement? if using obs lowers it... now will we get a boost if we use it now or what?
i'm just gonna wait and see what they come up with hehe

I use OBS and my placement is the same ;-)

I've been out of the loop on SM for a bit, so sorry for this quick question, but...

Does SM now have an offline tip feature? I had mystery money show up at a time that I was definitely not logged in, and it doesn't appear to be cammodels money spent on someone else.

Really?! Because I STILL see top models offering videos for Gold Show contributors even today...and they are sending links (a lot of them don't even have videos uploaded on their profile). Wonder when they will be suspended...

I wonder that same thing! I see models selling links still, too.

I got gold from this guy i never talked to, he never entered my chatroom, i was online camming that nite, somebody else said in here it was a glitch from the bonus week.
So how the tips are looking like in our stats, as Gold?

^^Mine looked the exact same as gold received while online, but I wasn't online at all that day, so it stood out. They didn't send me a message about it like they do when guys tip after a show. I wish they had because I wouldn't have known about it if I hadn't checked my earnings for the week.

They should send a message so we can have a chance to thank them. This rule of not being able to initiate contact as it is, makes it harder.
I've been selling pictures and some of the guys ask me how to send me a message though the big button is visible and some payed but quit sending a message so I can reply back with pictures :)))

These were not offline tips, they were after show tips from April. SM held them till this week and decided not to tell us why.

I just love the new message telling guests and members not to disclose personal info to performers. It's all the time there just to be always seen in any models room.

when you get a legit offline tip (not the glitch that happened this week) it will send it to you via message. I've only ever gotten one but it looks like the same message as when someone tips after a show. The subject says "Yay! You got gold!" And the body of the message will say "So-and-so sent you $X GOLD with this message on [date / time]." On your earnings report it simply shows up as a regular gold tip.

I never feel the "Yay!" when tipped, because I only get a measly 30% of it. It's not fair to the customers or the models. Tips should be treated differently, commission wise. SM should do the yaying, for their 70%.

i don't disagree, but I feel like if SM gave a higher percentage for "gold tips", girls would find a way to exploit it in a way that SM likely wouldn't approve of. like, for example - if a model wanted to get a gold show going, she could just get a bunch of guys to send "gold tips" in free chat, so she could keep a bigger cut, and then do a zero dollar gold show. if those guys had tipped the same amount into a regular gold show, SM would presumably keep more of the money.

it seems like it'd be simpler and more reasonable to just increase the payout by a few percentage points across the board. i really do wonder how much it would affect them to pay models an additional 5%.
