I never understood why models that are awesome as she is even bother camming on SM with the low percentage. If I could work a room like she does I'd be on MFC too!!

Definitely bad when the customers are more vocal about site glitches and customer service.
I can't exactly tell them to "just email ____" and it will be resolved. :D

Did you guys read the Twitter page for Streamate? They posted that only top performers are loyal to the site. WTF? They clearly don't give a shit about anyone they think isn't a top performer. I have never seen a more unprofessional response in my life.

^I just saw that. How unprofessional. There are hundreds of girls that I see online every.fucking.day for hours at a time who definitely don't qualify as top performers. If that doesn't count as loyalty then maybe I don't know what that word means.
edit to say, SM followed me but have only RT me once and I've tweeted my link quite a few times. Idgi, but I never had a twitter tantrum over it.

That felt like a slap in the pussy, and not in good way.
As to the tweet about only the loudest having problems: Just because I am not making noise about the problems I'm having (Gold Shows not working, customers booted out of privates, video lag to the point where my free chat customers got to see my pussy for a short time at the end of a private) doesn't mean I'm not having problems. It means that I know it's pointless to say anything and I don't want to jeopardize what little support I get from SM as it is.
I might not be a top performer but I am not super-cheap and still have guys who are willing to take me exclusive multiple times a week, sometimes multiple times a day, at my healthy price. I know SM isn't going to really care if I leave but at this point its are acting so dismissive of its hard-working models that it seems stupid on my part to keep adding to their bottom line. Sure, plenty of people will replace me but they are going to have the same problems down the line, too.
Guess I have to go buy a dry-erase board and get ready for MFC!

Wooooooooooow, they are seriously unbelievable! They feel that top models/performers are loyal but ummmm some of them are leaving the site. They don't even seem to care that "top performers" are complaining. Why would "top performers" or anyone be loyal to them when they aren't being loyal back? Being able to pay your bills is more important then loyalty. This is work/money not a friendship/relationship. I'm sure they can understand that wanting to be able to pay bills isn't personal right(insert sarcasm).

I wouldn't worry too much about one persons opinion. It is a opinion and not a fact of the site.
Just keep doing what you guys do best and that is CAM. Dont let a few words bug us. I see "top performers" that are hardly online as many of us ARE ONLINE DAILY (cough cough) and they still have those top spots so it definitely not about loyalty, maybe its about who................. I want to say it so bad but this is a open forum where outsiders can read ;)

You're definitely right about it being just one persons opinion. However when that person is the social media face of a company it's not just an opinion, it becomes a PR position which is not a good look for SM.

The beggars and the terrible types of customers I can deal with. However, the glitches do make me want to look elsewhere. On Friday, I did a few successful Gold Shows. You'd think I'd learn my lesson because I lost TV GS money because the site kicked me off a few weeks ago and it did it again! It stopped streaming in the last three seconds of my show..... GRRRRR. I have an i7 and am hardwired with awesome internet. I took the weekend off and really hope the things are better tomorrow. In the meantime, I've been putting more clips up for more passive income while I sleep.

True but that is the site's Twitter page. When you allow someone to represent your site and they act a fool, it reflects badly on the site. The best part is the performer he was saying that to is his wife. Glad they both find the issues so damn funny.

I thought it was to green.... , cant reveal names bc of the rules but I thought it was in reference to her issues. I saw that and just let it bleh. SM has a way in general to make performers feel less adequate than what we are, such as cammodel of the month, top performer stats and all that jazz. A model is a model. All of us are different than others and none are the exact same. I learned a log time ago not to sweat twitter bullshit (any of it) down to how SM ranks models. I try my hardest to stay away from negative bc I will stoop down to their level.

oh bb! lol it will be ok, its just the time of year. I am slower than norm. Working extra hard to make bills etc. Another model tweeted me and said the trick she is using for connection works but she is now slow so its all around bb. ;) DO NOT CRY ON CAM .. unless you want it to go viral. They love seeing us cry.
My stupid bbdaddy didnt come get her today for a lunch bc of NCAA, hell, he didnt call, I had to call him and I know its the game. When I was giving birth 15 years ago his ass was in the lobby watching the NCAA. I HATE THE NCAA lololol ;)

I don't like them making any performer feel inadequate. It takes a lot of guts to be a cam performer and they should acknowledge that. I could care less who the top performer is because she or he alone is not making the site money. We all put money into their pockets no matter what we earn. We all bring different experiences to their customers and they are rich because we all bust our asses. It wasn't just the Twitter postings, it's the whole attitude in general. They act like we are disposable, but so are they. Just like they can find a new cam model, we can work on a different site. Cam sites need to appreciate their performers and remember no one goes to a cam site to view the owner, customer service or the tech guys. They are there for the performers and they need us.

If it's a model you have to e-mail Liz with her info and then she will make sure you get the referral fees.

"That was easy." Right, TheBrownFox? :D :D
Seriously, I am happy for her and yes, she is very entertaining.
She'll be a lot happier with her cut on MFC, too. Her studio @ SM pays 25 percent (?) I think.
Yup, that was easy! HAHA.
And the guys on MFC using that "Rated and admired you, bb...it helps your cam score!" line are just embarrassing themselves...lol. TIP THE LADY to help her cam score. Rates/admires do NOT do anything for the cam score...tokens do!
Back on the topic of Streamate...they put their foot in their mouth the other day with some of their rude tweets, and it pissed off quite a few SM models. They knew it pissed people off, because they went back and deleted their tweets. Some crap about how their "top performers are the loyal ones," and how their "models with tech issues seem to be the loudest." LOL. Keep talking, Streamate...we'd love to hear how you really feel.....
I'm grateful to know that Liz and Vanessa know how to speak to models with respect. Way to go, ladies! :)

Yeah, when she gets a larger following on MFC (and I'm sure a lot of her SM guys are willing to sign up on MFC for her), it'll probably be a little easier for her to be like "Peace, Streamate!" LOL. But until then, SM is the site she's more familiar with, where she's been longer, and the site she has a larger following with. Eventually, I think she IS gonna tell SM 'peace'...lol. :P

One question: What is the highest number that you ladies have seen next to a SM member's name? The popular SM model (who now cams on MFC too) we've been discussing has a regular who is a Level 9 member. I didn't know it goes up to at least 9...wow!!! :) The highest I've remembered seeing is 3 or 4.
Anyone know how to disable the laptop camera so we can use the logitech? Arrghh.

I think you go to: Control panel/Hardware & sound/Device & printers/Device manager/Imaging devices/click the device and select 'Disable'. It will probably make you reboot your computer before it goes into effect.

I had no site issues today and even did a TV Gold Show with no problems this morning. Also, I kept my hourly goal with no big regulars. Hopefully, it keeps going well....
The biggest number I have is a 4 and quite a few 3s and they've spent a lot!!! I can not imagine what a 9 entails. If only I understood their customer numbering algorithm!

He is a level 9 member on Streamate's site wide spending I think is what he means.... there are two level systems, one that is site wide spending and one that is per model. I believe the per model system only goes to a 5? The highest I have is a 4.
He's a level 2 in my room.

I know this is from yesterday but this morning I logged in and made $4....in 30 minutes being the #3 girl on the site...WTF SM!
I'm sure it will get better but... so frustrating at this moment.
I'm just glad my vanilla business finally has taken off to the point where it pays my bills.
And WTF is up with girls offering vids for guys rating them 5 stars after a private... I've seen it before and it didn't become a trend, so hopefully it doesn't this time either/

As I was sending my message, I remembered that I am on daily pay on streamate and I signed the new model up directly yesterday. I put in my message that I wasn't sure if that makes a difference. She didn't say if it did or if it didn't. she just said that they do not have a model referral program.
Maybe she didn't want to elaborate because I don't qualify. It was worth a try though :)
