So irritated with SM. Apparently not only is my bio pic fucked up, but my payments are on hold. I didn't make any changes to my account. They have it on hold as of this afternoon. I didn't do shit to my account but change bio pic. WTF?!?!?!

Update: This must be a glitch. Other ladies have said the same thing as of this afternoon. I hit up Liz anyway, but it must be a glitch.

I had a notice that said payments on hold. It was there on Wednesday and Thursday, now it's gone. It didn't apply to me though, because I'm with Boleyn Models.

In my case, I havent had any tech issue this week but with traffic YES. Only trash traffic to my room idk why. 2 days in a row the same or almost nothing. If is not tech is traffic. Lol both are a nightmare. I feel u. I unblocked myself a week ago and I havent seen any difference in traffic, is very weird...I thought was going to be quite better. I will give it a go for 2 weeks more to see if is worthy, otherwise I will use geoblock again. Dont wanna be exposed for almost nothing.

^^^ I used to always have geoblock off cause i wanted to be able to check on my placement but now i just decided to block a certain location cause they were pestering me and never paid for shows.
There is no difference i can tell after 2 weeks, i keep it like this cause i have my peace now, that freeloaders were pissing me off soo bad.

By the way, i hate when SM cuts off my connection saying i stopped streaming, oh really!!
Now u blatantly blaming me for it eh? Whoa!! /:O :D

Yes¡¡ I cant see any difference in earnings or traffic. Well, Im getting more freeloaders in my room too but weird that When I have geoblock on was getting barely any favorites.. now with it off, more people favorite me. Traffic sometimes is more but just trash one, I try my best to convert them in sales but Anything seems to work. I will give it a go for 2 weeks more so I can speak if is really working or no. Im making about the same amount when I had geoblock On. So yeah

i switched my location so Americans will stop asking me to meet. I will see if that works for me. it doesnt seem to be lol
WATCH the "you stopped streaming" it happened to me twice in paid chat and the 1st time I didn't notice, the system restarted itself and I was in free chat riding a dildo. /:O

My tech issue over the last week: one user out of 10 will berate me for not having audio and then I jump through hoops to figure it out, log off, restart. I checked my chat room incognito and I didn't have volume! But then I opened it on my phone in a browser and there was audio. Every time it happens I ask aloud if folks can hear me and I type it and YES there is audio for all but one guy. I really think they are just too stupid to click the "enable audio" button though. I have had audio issues in the past so maybe its the site? It's getting old to be told this several times an hour and I did experience the same thing when I checked my own room, so. .. . . get it together streamate.

This is me! I did actually get one the other day, again though for the first time since Jan time! I’ve only got 15 and I’ve been on the site just over a year now. I guess it can’t hurt us that much?

models will ask other models to leave tags. you can also leave it in your room topic.
Tags help you be seen unless you block the tag

Do support remove ratings less than 5* if it's under 3mins? Or is it only 1* ratings they remove? Someone rated me 3* today 1min30 into a show. Not the end of the world but I can't perform miracles in 1min30 lol.

Also, if someone or a couple of guys are tipping you loads constantly in free, then some random guy comes out of nowhere to take you private, would you girls take it or not? I've had this a few times in the past where it's like they were maliciously clearing out my room on purpose so I just kicked this time. Do any of you do the same thing? Or would you prioritise the potential pvt/excl? I gathered he would come back if he was serious.

I’d send it in with the screenshot. It doesn’t hurt to try, I am not sure what point ratings start impacting you negatively so if I were you, I would definitely try. The worse they can say is no.

ive had that tipping thing happen. Don’t kick/block money is my slogan.
Some guys see a few bucks being thrown and think its nothing compared to the private show but you are not working for that Tip money like you do privates.
Some assholes see it as they are fucking up your flow. The tippers usually come back but its a 50/50 chance they wont. I’d say it depends on the vibe you pick up. Take notes by their name for future reference. Doing that helps me decide in the future what to do.

I changed My location to Canada for the “will you meet me” will leave me alone.

Canada
“You should be AB not ON”
AB is manicurist references to crystals and gems. I was confused. I’m prefer ab and all of them are ab. I start frantically pulling out my gems.

I need a place to Virtually live in canada, preferably on the east coast.

Only if it was a regular or he asked for something first and we agreed on a show. If he's brand new and never said anything and suddenly clicked the button I reject

did sm add something new like something that prompts them to tip in shows? or maybe on a certain white label...it seems like every other user is sending 5 gold as soon as they enter and then through out the show.

in general i have a rule that no one goes private without asking first. for me it's simply a matter of consent. so regardless of what's happening in free chat, if anyone randomly swoops me into a private show without asking they get an automatic kick. if they come back, i explain my rules (which are posted in my topic and on my profile.) i tell them i prefer to chat and get an idea of the show they want before we go. that way if i'm not into it, i won't waste their time or mine, and i won't lose the crowd i have in free chat. if they repeat the behavior after learning my rules, i block them.

i think it's a good strategy to have a completely fake location for your cam persona. but like an actual specific, "real" place so you can mention it to your room without any concerns.

for me i say i'm in a different state on the same coast i live in, so that the time zones are still the same. i browse local news and weather for my fake state before i log on in case anyone else brings it up.

also in general, anyone who asks to meet me just gets a standard "why the hell would i meet a stranger on the internet?" response. frankly if a guy starts off with "hey do you do meet ups?" i don't want them as customers anyway. red flag for creepy stalker potential.

i have had geoblock on for years and it does not seem to have a significant negative affect on my traffic. it's also great not to see the "potential users" number. that shit stressed me the hell out before.

Porn guys are the worst bc a lot of pornstars are known for escorting.
They seek out putting another notch in their belt with another pornstar. the most annoying part is the assumption I want to do all that and the list of pornstars they send me as references.
Im hoping it deters but i will see.


I've had local issues the past 5 years bc it's a small town. I didn't need geo block in a metro city but moved to a small town and everyone watches pornhub. I never understood girls fears about walking out of their own home until living here. These guys are stalker creepy.

the average camguy doesn't bother me, usually they are crushes and go away.

Thank you for saying this! I have excellent ratings but randomly got a "doesn't care" tag recently.

it could be a hater or maybe some troll you ignored in the free chat.. i got 4 bad tags from someone who i wouldnt do a show with and blocked.
they left the follow fun tags "bad" "blocks" "not worth" "awful" "sorry"
lol i think its funny.
do not take it personally.
it is most likely someone you blocked made a new account ect.

bad tags are for pussy clients who dont have the nerve to write it in a review with their name on it.
or troll who you didnt give free flashes to

I'm using a 2020 Macbook Air - A $500 DSLR camera/Logitech ProStream (I interchange these depending on mood and where I am camming from that day), no antivirus and I ALWAYS reboot my router before I cam every morning. Internet is always fine even though the site is fucked up. I ALWAYS know when it is on their end because it is always the same garbage bitrate...

Antivirus is the devil LOL :)

I changed My location to Canada for the “will you meet me” will leave me alone.

Canada
“You should be AB not ON”
AB is manicurist references to crystals and gems. I was confused. I’m prefer ab and all of them are ab. I start frantically pulling out my gems.

I need a place to Virtually live in canada, preferably on the east coast.

LOL I always get AB on my nails. Nahh saying ON is the best and everyone knows Toronto it's a good go-to.

Until recently I always felt I should prioritise the pvt/excl for some reason but it’s happened way too many times where someone was clearly being malicious by trying to mess with my flow.
It was only the other week, someone who I had agreed to a show with requested excl maybe a second after someone tipped for a flash. I rejected the excl so I could honour the flash and when the customer came back, I explained and he patiently waited for me to finish before taking me. Not a single complaint whatsoever. Ever since then it’s made me consider my priority in the specific moment!!


in general i have a rule that no one goes private without asking first. for me it's simply a matter of consent.
I’m so fascinated by that way of thinking. I did wonder aside from the latter point of finding out what they wanted, why people did that.
It’s a privilege for them to see us like they do and I guess the consent aspect reinforces the fact we have a choice.
Come to think of it too, I can’t really recall any problems where I’ve had a guy who’s politely asked me if we can do a show, then treated me badly in the show. But a large majority of the guys who have taken me private without warning are the ones who do come in and attempt to be rude and unpleasant!
I’ll be enforcing this now myself immediately.

^^^ How do u guys manage the being taken pvt aspect when they dont need approval to take us pvt on SM? They do it right away so what do u do, u end the show if pvt was not requested/ discussed and go back to free chat right away?
I seen in some rooms in the Room topic "No need to ask for pvt, just come in directly". Guess we models educate these guys in a good or wrong way so to speak.

How do I block someone in the new messenger mode? I have recieved quite an offensive message and do not want this person to contact me again.

edit - I emailed support to ask as well as requesting they add the user to my blocked list (i think i read in this thread that support can do that?)
I really hate that we can't block users after they leave chat. I am fast on the block to abusive ppl but a lot of them are faster to leave a room after hurling insults. Definitely a flaw in the system IMO

I don't ever reject a private myself. If they are rude I just call them out on it, then sit there and drain their money till they leave, unless they apologize then they might get to see something.

You can block after they leave with this method:

It pays to read the thread. This blocking message was first posted a few pages back but could easily be missed. And speaking of that. "Thank you" to whoever suggested Co-q10

I've no idea how, but I missed a whole week or more of posts in this thread from June. I hadn't even noticed the blocking post was from a few weeks ago. I just read up on the "67 hours" post on contests in June and my mind is blown. So glad you pointed out the how-to-block post was from recent because I just learned so much more!

Ok, I hate my younger self, but I used to work 100 hours a week at a movie theater. i was young, energetic, thought $5 an hour was a lot. Nowadays, It is little to do with lack of energy (tho an on-off issue), and more to do with distractions and anxiety.
I am guilty of limiting my income because I work 20/average in a week live on cam and struggle to push myself more some weeks. I make so much more than I used to in other lines of work, its easy to get stuck in the planning process for new vids or ideas or plain old procrastination.

Thanks for the reminder on CoQ10!! I used to take this years ago. I will start again! I also recommend a quality B Vitamin Complex Liquid supplement. I just started taking this again and am feeling the energy benefits. Love this site for reminders on things I used to do but forgot about lol or things I just plain missed hahah

Seen tweets and had guys messaging to say that their favourites list has been partially or fully wiped. No change to my numbers on the dashboard so heres hoping it's just a glitch they can fix. The guys said that even after they re-add the models still don't show up.

awesome! yeah, i do find that i get my longest shows and most pleasant/loyal customers from the guys who are cool with chatting first. they often have more money to spend and are generally more respectful. whereas random strangers who just take you straight into private (especially while you're clearly in the middle of something like a tip or a direct conversation in free chat) tend to be the type to abuse the unpaid time in private and then leave or be abusive.

obviously this isn't the case for everyone, since plenty of girls will just take a private show as soon as they're prompted and make money on it. but in my experience, advocating for consent and communication in free chat and having some rules around that will bring in a good group of guys worth doing shows with.

I seen in some rooms in the Room topic "No need to ask for pvt, just come in directly". Guess we models educate these guys in a good or wrong way so to speak.

everyone has their different hustle, which i'm not hating on and is also why i don't get too mad at a new guy in my room going straight into private. plenty of girls do what you said, where they welcome an otherwise unsolicited show.

i just let guys know that's not how i roll. my topic and profile says something like "PLEASE ASK BEFORE YOU TAKE ME INTO A SHOW." i also continuously ask the room how they're feeling, and if they wanna do a show i say "cool what are you into / let's talk first, because i'd hate to waste my time or your money if we're not into the same things." i'm very talkative in free chat, so it comes up a lot, and the room quickly gets a feel for the way i run my chat.

i kick out anyone, including regulars who sometimes are drunk or forget my rules, who go into private without discussing first. i need to say *YES* LETS GO in free chat, loud and clear before it's okay. [frankly part of it is just a matter of teaching these guys what consent really means. they think they're on a porn site so they can treat every woman here like shit or like they're in charge. i disagree with that and just want it to be known in my room. YMMV.]

i also use my cam instincts here... if a guy acts like a a horny caveman in free chat (or goes straight to private with no conversation), 95% of the time he's going to be an abusive douchebag, or at the very least will do a very short/uncomfortable/awkward show. for me it's not worth their two dollars for 50 seconds in free chat or whatever. i'd rather nip it in the bud and go straight back to my free chat hustle. i prefer to do longer shows with guys who are more chatty, specific, and personable, and one way to figure those guys out is by doing free chat "screenings", hence my rule. those guys become repeat customers, treat you better, and usually pay more. i'd much rather spend my time and energy hustling those guys then letting shitty guys take me private for a minute only for it to piss me off.

i have been nagging SM for YEARS to make private chat have the same "yes or no" option as exclusives do. IMO it's fucking bullshit to let guys go straight into private without our consent - on top of giving them free time in private! >_< as someone who often has anywhere from 5-15+ guys in free chat having a good time with tips and whatnot, having some random asshole go private makes everyone scatter and totally kills the mood. at the VERY least, to easily please everyone's hustle, SM should give the models the option to toggle on or off if we want guys to be able to go private without a request first.

i personally don't want to risk a bad rating by just sitting there and "draining a guys money" [unless they specifically asked to be ignored]. also by accepting the show (i.e. not kicking them out), you are somewhat responsible for actually performing in some way by the way the contract is worded. i could see SM siding with a customer if they complained about a model "not doing anything" in a show. it could get you suspended or banned one day if you had enough complaints.

as for "i don't see any way to keep a guy from going private" ? if you're the type of model who just meekly/quietly sits in free chat until you get spoken to or taken private, then it won't work for you. i talk constantly in my chat, and make sure these motherfuckers know my rules. it is hardly ever an issue for me, and when it does happen, it just becomes a joke in my chat because all the regs know i have no tolerance for guys who can't respect the concept of boundaries and consent.

Thank you for sharing this. Some of the new customers on the site have been brutal- whether it's freeloading/timewasting. I am not a fan of this new rating policy- because I believe it to be unfair.

I really want to rant about this but I am going to refrain. I just need to create a happy medium and meet my goals-ugh....

there is a new location based placement algorithm which might have something to do with it. For me though it's the favourites glitch that is causing the biggest difference. Some of my regs have asked support about it with varying responses but at least one was told that it is a known problem that is being worked on. It has been broken for at least 2 days now though and they haven't responded to my message on model support

I made zero this afternoon, barely any potential viewers either. It was pretty bad today for sure. Ended up taking a break from it and passed out haha. I'm going to go shower and make dinner. I may try some indy sites later so I can just chill on the couch till I'm summoned.

Had a guy take me private and he couldn’t hear me. He took me private again and this time, he couldn’t see me. It finally worked the third time. Had a regular customer tell me that he couldn’t type for some reason at one point.
Anyone else having weird issues? Thank fuck for CMD though, because I’ve made fuck all on SM today.

I had the same last night, regular in excl on c2c with his laptop. 8 minutes in he could hear me but my picture disappeared, I told him to refresh after it didnt come back. 2nd time his c2c kept turning on and off about 5 minutes in, 3rd time he decided we'd better hurry to finish. He's always had a decent connection till now and mine's top notch.
I just wish the site had some kind of notification system so we knew when things were being updated/tweaked or when they have system issues. I just worry guys might rate me poorly thinking it's my feed that's the problem when I know its definitely not.
