Wow, unpopular opinion. But this is such a stupid option to have. Why can't we see all users regardless of how much they stay in our room?! We specifically need those under that time mark of seconds and NOT above (you know what I mean). Is it me or this seems unhelpful?!
I don't want to see them. Really kills my mood to see all the in and outs and lurkers. I really enjoyed coming back to sm and the new smbroadcast as my room was nice and clean. When i saw all those horrible greyed out names it just brought me down seeing how many checked me out and decided 'nope'. Can do without that thanks.
^^^ Interesting to see what you higher earners get affected by, a list of people who said "nope".
We are all humans, the difference is some earn better than the others but we all have the same structure.
While i personally saw the feature as an opportunity to make more money (work with the tool to my advantage) you guys see it as an option that could affect the ability to make money cause it ruins ur mood. We are soo complex creatures...
By the way, u can turn the feature off in Settings tab on SM connect page :))

okay, so I recently camming again. The problem is the payment options on streamate. I seen they had an option for wire transfer. How do you connect your bank without the Swift Code? Or is there another option I can choose, i prefer dirext deposit. TIA!

You can turn the feature off in the preferences under settings on SMC here:
52432
Then you don't need to see it anymore. I kind of feel the same way honestly but I keep it open so I can use it to ban members if I need to cause I do find that part useful. But its a bummer to see all the guys in the past xx amt of mins that have bounced in/out of my room cause of connection issues or not interested, etc. Totally agree with that 100%. Its mind fuckery, indeed

The new feature actually makes me feel like there are more people in my room than there really are. I can work the “I’m too busy for you bitches, tip me if you want my attention” angle a lot better without the panic of an empty looking room breaking my hustle in half.
The “user left” text that spams the main chat is what used to fuck with me. Unless it’s a user connection issue, I don’t want to see that crap. But having some sort of writing in the visitor list tricks my brain into feeling busy and in-demand. Right now that’s its only benefit tho because I’d rather block a guy after he leaves vs reporting him.

I tried to block someone last night with the instructions posted above jere but it doesn't seem to work, just took me to the home page? I pressed report instead but can't see how that might help. Weird.
Thanks for the info that you can turn off the new feature, gonna do that now :)

When you copy the link that I posted in those instructions just do it by opening an extra browser tab beside the tab youre streaming on to make sure you're already logged in or it'll try to log you in again if you don't copy and paste the link into another browsing tab (and change the UID to be the UID of the guy you are trying to block. Hopefully that helps, and you're welcome;)

stupid question but how can you tell what your placement is? My state is blocked so I'm not sure if that why I can't see myself or not. I do pretty well on sm but it's been over a year and I haven't figured this out LOL. I can only tell during contests. :/

If you have your state blocked you're on geo-block, the only way you can check your placement would be to log in with a custie account or have someone else log in with a custie account (not from your state) to check for you, but even then your true placement would be skewed since they switched to 'smart placement' and based placement on custie accounts to lump similiar models together.
You could take geo-block off and wait for the up to 24hrs for it to be off to check your placement not logged in via a custie account, and then put it back on after you check to see where you are to get the true feel for where you rank to someone who isn't logged in via a custie account.

if any of those guys complain, ignore them. the rate I just mentioned is so common and uncontroversial on SM that I can promise you anyone who mentions it is so incredibly cheap that they don’t deserve a show.
it’s low enough to not raise eyebrows but high enough to make something.

I started on chaturbate and started doing streamate as well, and I think I'm liking SM a lot better.. I was wondering if I could get some feedback on yall on if I'm doing good or at least average. I've been on sm for a couple weeks and have the pause button, have a lil over 200 favorites, a few tags, and get the message before I log on that I have "top placement"... my hourly rate varies between 25-50. Are these all signs that I'm on the right track and to keep doing what I'm doing, or is this pretty much the same for everyone?

Help needed! I’ve been in SM for two days and today I didn’t realize I was in a premium block and stopped the show ( I thought it was just regular ) I don’t want to lose my account ... I had told him previously I couldn’t do block cause my sister was in her way and she literally opened the door so I stopped it lol. Do I contact support or is there a way to refund it? I think I did like ten mins out of the 15
this is the reason I wish a block request had a different looking/sounding notification. "RED ALERT" kinda notification. It's easy to miss the fine print

You can charge extra gold tips for phone.
There are guys who really like the phone feature. I offer it for exclusive only. (right now for free)
I've seen other models charge extra for it, and I'm thinking of doing that too now.

^^ oh, so no you don't get paid extra for it, but you can charge extra for it. I have an auto notice where I offer dick ratings for $5 gold and guys jump at that. I tell them to send a pic in a message and I'll let them know what I think.
Wish that little gold menu they gave us could be customized

It's so crazy how we can upsell every little thing... I missed upselling on that & charging dudes to open their cam, whew... I still got some trial and error learning to go

wtf am I going to do with "report" after a guy has left? jesus christ.
I submitted feedback saying they have to add the block option because abusers are usually well aware we may want to block them and pop in and out to avoid it, and reporting them is useless because all the support can do is tell us to block them. Maybe if enough people tell them the same, they will add it.
^^^ That would be nice to be able to block the guys but i dont think they'll do it cause the abusers stay in too little to be registered, know what i mean? Only people who stay a certain nr of secs are displayed in grey. If they gave us the option to block the abusers means they have to register every single person who enters and leaves right away which would mean a huge thing for the site and huge list for models too so yeah, i can see why they did it like they did regarding the greys. Not nice, i know but if they wanted to do it like we wish they would have done it already, maybe is just too much data to be processed, i am not tech savvy here but this makes sense to me.
The threads are really scrambled for a few days, it's crazy, the sticky blue ones are not sticky anymore at the top but all over the place

Honestly, I'm not buying any excuse that SM might come up with for why they can't offer this feature. We aren't asking them to put the first cam girl on the moon; other sites make blocking incredibly easy - whether the guy is in the room or not. SM is just being a jackass.
Literally every company that allows one user to contact another provides a "block" option. Not just cam sites but social media, texting/video call services, dating sites, etc. And (thankfully) you can utilize this option whether that person is actively talking to you or not. That's exactly how it should be.
There's just zero excuse at this point.

The previous years when I've been able to invest time online during Christmas (can't speak much for last year because I had a 1yr old back then) its always been pretty profitable. Its definitely worth sitting down and putting some serious hours in! Good luck!

Very lucrative. I usually do better in Christmas contests because there are way less models online so less competition. Lots of lonely, drunk, generous guys in my experience. :)
Take advantage of that 30% bonus week coming up too!

If it was that much of a problem for them, they wouldn't have implemented the recent viewers feature at all. But they went and did it even though it's pretty much useless the way it is.

I saw the email in my box.
I'm soooo elated for you girls that can now get direct deposit!!
It's been a life changer for me.
Woke up this morning, (as I do every Friday) seeing the funds in my bank account.
No more waiting until the following Monday, wondering if the check will even arrive ( my landlord still hasn't replaced our mailboxes), so that means it's not at the post office on hold until Tues. Add to that the hassle of having to drive over there.
No more shelling out $35 for FedEx, then sitting by the door, like a dog, in fear of missing the delivery. Rushing to make sure it's deposited before the bank closes. If not, the funds aren't available until Monday, Tues if Monday is a holiday.
You're going to love it! Totally worth the $5 fee.

My last 8 Christmases on Streamate were excellent.
So was New year's Eve.
Sometimes, in my case, it pays off to be a hermit, and an introvert, with no family.
This is definitely one of those cases.
Happy holidays everyone!:-*
