Sorry everyone is struggling but kind of relieved yesterday was horrid. Today not much more exciting so far although placement seems fixed.

Had an issue with my camera going out of focus during an exclusive show. I messed with the setting in LogiTech control but it did nothing. It eventually worked itself thankfully the customer didn't say anything as I continued to describe what he wanted me to do to him.

My new bio was not approved because I used the word "humiliation" but I have used this before in my bio and I see it in many bios. I work many sites so it's possible I am confusing them but with all my research i have NEVER seen that humiliation isn't allowed on any site I use (SM, NF, C4S, etc). I mean, that's my bread and butter! Can anyone point me in the right direction for a list banned words for SM? I re-read TOS and "do's and don't" article. I have searched support/help page to no avail. Am I just missing it?? I try to be as careful as possible to follow all rules because SM is my main egg and this issue is stressing me out. If I am not allowed to even SAY humiliation than I could be in big trouble in my shows and chatting with folks. I get asked dozens of times a shift if I will go paid and humiliate them. How did I miss that I wasn't allowed to??
I did several google searches and I may not be using the right key words.
I am very annoyed that they would even send me an email without linking to where the site states this is not allowed. Maybe I'm too stressed about it to search properly?!
*I'm pissed is at myself because I didn't save the bio I wrote and yup, they just delete rather than allow you to change it. Lesson learned, save all copy somewhere.

My main reason I'm pissed off is because they need to SHOW me where it says this?? I am a decent "googler" and I am finding nothing for any combination of "forbidden banned words phrases streamate". And my anxiety won't let me on cam til I get to the bottom of this.

That's messed up. I would email them back asking where you can find that banned phrase or email Liz.

I immediately sent an email, but I have to work today and it usually takes time for them to get back to me, hence why i asked here, and I wanted to let other models know just in case thousands of us have been breaking the rules lol. I can't go live til I know because I can't lose my account. Your reaction makes me think I'm not crazy and this word is fine. I mean holy #### SPH is SO popular! And femdom with humiliation. Some form of it is 75% of my shows.

First my bio pic was messed up, then the break button was removed, and to top it off a payment hold was placed on my account. I emailed support and the pic is static again, the break button added back, but the payment hold is still there.
They said periodically accounts are reviewed for reasons. Well I never requested a hold or changed anything for payments. All docs are up to date and the hold is till there.
This makes me not want to work cause I don't know if they're gonna hold my payments. UGH!!!

I emailed Liz. Thank you for the reminder, she always gets back to me much faster than support. I know new employees sometimes make mistakes and I am hoping that is what happened here. I checked EVERY site I worked on and looked through their banned words to see if "humiliation" is newly added and ZERO sites ban it. Also. . . searching any site+banned words gives me the list in the 1st google result. Not sure why SM doesn't have this accessible to us.
Edit- The words on Manyvids banned list compared to C4S is hilarious lol

I just noticed that "domination" is no longer a category. Neither is smoking.There are now only 5 categories, plus non-nude. I can't remember everything that was listed but wasn't "submissive" also there?

I looked under kinks and "dominant" is available for us to choose for our profile. Maybe it was moved to kinks?

I think it is hit and miss with this for what gets through and what doesn't, apart from obvious T&C violations. My mate signed up a few years back and had 'humiliatrix' in her description and was pulled up on it before she ever went live so she sacked off the site all together. It's easy enough to find some models who do have it in their show descriptions and expertise sections though so it must slip through. I won't name names though cause I'm not a grass

It seems like humiliation is all over the site, however, it is misspelled. I must have also misspelled it when I originally had it in my bio. In which case, SM may not allow us to use the word but are we not allowed to humiliate? Do SPH shows? Be mean? lol I am so confused. Humiliatrix is also in tags and not misspelled.

It's already late in the day for me and I have missed my first shift. I plan on logging in and not doing ANY humiliation until I know the rules. I am not happy right now. How will I make it through a whole day without laughing at a tiny cock :(

It could be that the word humiliation was flagged by the payment processor so you cannot list it on your profile. Hopefully they will handle it like most clip sites do -- you can do it, you just have to get creative and call it by another name (not a misspelling as the credit card companies will catch that too eventually). For instance, mastercard and visa flag hypnosis so clip sites started a category called mesmerize. Same clips but called by a different name. I've always thought that was hilarious - apparently they think a customer might do a chargeback claiming I hypnotized them to spend money, lmao.
Gotta play by mastercard and visa's rules though. It's hard enough to get anyone to process high risk adult payments so I see why they don't want to get on their bad side. I've seen so many sites lose their payment processor and it's a disaster. If it's not easy to spend money a lot of guys will just move on.

I'm not sure if this is still the case because I haven't made any attempts to edit my bio/profile in a while -- but there were multiple instances in the past where I tried to write the word "tip" and "tipping" on my profile and it would get removed. One time they auto-changed it to "give" and "giving" which sounded stupid and didn't necessarily work gramatically with whatever else I had written (like "send a give for XYZ!" instead of "send a tip". Also I once tried to write "Pro-Tip" followed by some rule I had for my room, and it got removed in that context too). Like, why wouldn't they allow us to use the word tip?! Also notice it doesn't say "TIP GOLD" under our streams; it says "GIVE GOLD." Very odd, IMO.
It's dumb that they don't have a page with a clear list of banned words and phrases. They also need to clarify whether or not we're allowed to verbally say them out loud and perform the act or not. C4S is very particular about clarifying what is and isn't allowed and I appreciate that there's no confusion about it there.
I'll be curious to hear what Liz's response is to the "humiliation" issue.

Is there a way to tell if your profile pic is static when you have geoblock so can't see yourself live? I've had a static profile pic for like 5 years and then the other day a guy popped in my room saying he had to to talk because he loved the band on my shirt in my profile pic(what I was wearing that day).

One of the reasons I know for this is fraud. Make sure you report any suspicious client with multiple accounts. I’ve heard of that before. Be safe!

Same exact thing is happening to other SM accounts. Exact same issues. I think it's a glitch. But we still had to bring it to supports attention.

Done any today? I had somebody pledge during a countdown then come into private, leave, come back into private, leave. All during an active countdown. Since when can they do that? They shouldn't be changing things like this without telling us but when my gold show timer counted down it just disappeared there was no warning pop up that I hadn't reached goal. No prompt to do or cancel the show. Guys cant get cams to work. Site isn't working good at all this week :-(

That sounds like a glitch! I seriously doubt SM would allow them to take us private during a gold show countdown.

Is anyone else's bitrate fucking up? I have fast internet and a good enough laptop but bitrate keeps fluctuating. so frustrating. especially since I was unable to stream these past couple of days so I'm trying to catch my hours up but this bitrate is slowing me down. arghh so annoying.

I tried to stream last night and my bitrate was at .04 for over a half hour. It was pointless trying to stay online with that.

No, yes, yes. No spread full frontal nudity pix. They've 'rejected' quite a few of mine over the years for the dumbest reasons but if you just keep resubmitting it eventually you will get someone with a brain to accept it
Is anyone else's bitrate fucking up?
Yep mines been doing that at random times for weeks. This week I had 3 days in a row where it was in the red. It's always in the green otherwise. I bought a new ethernet cable thinking that might help but there was no change. I have the best internet you can buy in my area so there's nothing more I can really do. As soon as you open a new window and view that your bitrate will drop, it's best to only keep your cam open and dont surf the net at all, if your lighting is bad it will drop other than that it's most likely the pandemic with everyone being home online constantly

Liz got back to me and there is no list of banned words, just an automatic flag from the database for "humiliation." She said sph and femdom humiliation shows are allowed but can't list "humiliation" on profile. So glad they clarified, I was nervous for a hot minute!
