I understand your point but there are also a lot of girls in Camming Connection who have epic connections and epic computers. They are also having problems.
And if we are going to play the devil's advocate game, how much has SM changed their code base in the last year alone? New code does not roll out without glitches.
I know that =P I'm more trying to point out that yes every website ever with that kind of server load has issues, but I understand why they naturally default to blaming the model because there is no way for them to know off the bat that the system the model is using is up to par. I stated that some girls have epic computers (well, I said that not everyone has shite computers which means the same thing).
You cut out the end of my statement "Yes, there will always be server problems for any site (how many times does Twitter or Facebook load to an error and they don't run feeds?), but, as a model, if you want to prove it's not on your end, you hunt down the support who DO help and do full on sessions with them like one model on here did."
We all know about Liz, but you really have to talk to people with full on details over probably more than a day to get a solution to a problem. Without that, it's unlikely Streamate will ever know whats wrong. With vague "this isn't working" reports, they'll never get anywhere. Sure, they aren't the easiest to communicate with and I'm not saying SM is a god. They're not. I'm just saying from a tech support perspective, they need a lot more models really pushing them to work on their problems. The standard support is a joke, and I'm pretty sure they're more for paper work than technical issues.
Again, I was defending the reason they MAY default to blaming the model, not Streamate in general.
@jac in a later post: I wholeheartedly agree with your personal opinion clarifications
@snowy by scrolling i mean text rolling in the chat room
@incantatious I also agree that SM needs to A) up their minimum requirements or B) make sure everything works even with minimum requirements.

I like SM but I've not been able to work it seriously since first opening an account due to various things in my personal life and that has been really dumb of me. I find their rules ok too, no intention on breaking them, nor do I care that others do and don't get punished for it. Just wish traffic wasn't so sucky for "new" girls. As much as I want to make SM work for me, it just doesn't seem to care for me. Did anyone feel like their room was full of crickets when they started on the site? I'm on pages 4 to 8 depending on how many models are around, and if I feel like using the encoder or not. Sound, HD, high speed internet, all that. Now I know I can't expect the moon since I basically just returned to the site after a 3 month absence (when I really first started), but dang it, will it get better if I hang in there? I have no other options right now (yes I can work other sites, but camming has to be it for now) so all I can hope for is that traffic will pick up if I show up every day. It's very hard to stay online for more 2 hours when I just get one private during the whole time which is between 5 to 15 min long at a "cheap" rate, and that was terribly embarrassing to admit too, but I really need any money I can make. :P

I love SM too, but lately....smh.....just caught a performer in the top row flat out fucking her pussy like she is actually doing a show..Ummm.no wonder NO one pledged for her GOLD show. NO ONE! DUH...... and the amount of gals selling panties...sheesh..top gals. No, I'm not snitching on anyone but WTF SM????? If they can do pantie raffles and sell broomsticks, toilet plunger handles, and god knows what's been up their holes, why can't everyone else?

This is what I'm wondering too i had my rates at $4 an min and i logging on for 2-4 hour everyday and no one wanted to go pvt they left before i was even done saying hi or they would leave when i didnt show things for free i drop it down to .99 a min i got 2 pvt and 2 15 min blocks i logged out that day only making 10 for 40 min in pvt. Money is money but i think its pathetic i had to do to that. im happy for you girls that are in back to back pvt but it seems like if u dont already have regs or good placement or arent almost free these men on SM these days dont want anything to do with u. that was just an experiment because i wanted to see what would happen.
thank you for making this post because i felt like it was just me i do feel better knowing im not the only one this is happening to and feels the way i do .

I'm betting that the girl fucking herself just hasn't been caught yet. The no below the belt nudity rule exists because of the law. I'm sure SM will act on it eventually. As for panty sales, perhaps their contracts are different from ours. No business is under obligation to treat all of its partners exactly the same. I've read about certain models with large followings having sections of their contracts changed. Perhaps the models who are selling their panties have gotten permission to do so because of something they can offer the company. Ebanned does allow toy sales as well. We could all sell things there (no raffles though). We all have an outlet to offer everything every other model does.
If you were building a house and contracted a random independent plumber and your friend the independent electrician, you wouldn't have to treat them equally. You could have your friend the electrician over for drinks. You could bring him snacks while he works. You could let him nap in your bed. You could pay hime 4x his service fee. None of it would have any impact on your relationship with the plumber. SM can have favorites and give them preferential treatment if they like. I'm only concerned with the contract I signed and the rules I agreed to before I started working with them.

Hey I wasn't being rude, you said that most models don't know about websites or behind the scenes issues. Those are your words, not mine. In my experince most models know a lot about websites and all the things I listed. You have to if you want to succeed in this industry.
You have pointed out more than once that the performers with issues are LOUD. Who cares if they want to be loud about it? They explained why they were annoyed and most are pretty damn polite about it.
I didn't see anyone attack you. I saw you basically say if anyone disagrees with you, they are wrong. If I misunderstood that, then I apologize. I personally have nothing against you, but I also think you are kinda rude when you discuss the performers with issues. The issues are taking money from their pockets. Money that many of them can't afford to lose so they are stressed out.
Oh dear God I was not being insulting by saying many performers do not know the behind the scenes workings of websites. Holy shit you guys.
No, I do not "always seem" to do that. And where the hell do you get that I think anyone deserves issues for speaking out???? That's just unbelievable.
I'm just going to shut up and go on with my business. (You're welcome.) Clearly my point is misunderstood by some and at this point I just don't have the time or desire to clear up my opinions any further. Anything I say at this point is going to be attacked by a select few so you know what, whatever.
I honestly wish all of you the best in figuring out the glitches you are experiencing.

Snowy, I want to say your post makes me feel better because I am not alone in dealing with the little traffic, but really it doesn't. Makes me sad because I know we work hard too and we are doing our best to please, but perhaps it's only due to joining the game too late. I get very few people entering my room. They leave before I can say hi. If ladies on the first page consider themselves "average" in popularity because they are say somewhere in the bottom rows, I guess that makes us the undesirable outcasts. lol

This is exactly my point too, i dont want a cam model that is doing good and has no major problems on site to come here and tell others who have problems and complain that they should not be soo loud screaming about how bad SM is. When u are in the top row on SM things feel different than when u are on page 2-3-4 or so, yes it's rude to ignore other models problems when for u things are working smooth. Should i remember u Sarah how pissed off u were few months ago posting about ur placement drop to bottom of page one? Then u came back to post all is ok and u got ur placement back? I just cant find that post as is kinda old but dropping placement got u irritated and scared and it made u loose business, right? Otherwise u would not have been reacted like that. Nobody have anything against you personally but it's irritating to people to see u step up always to explain how SM actually operates and how others dont know much about it which makes people wonder of course if ur top placement and amount of paying traffic is maybe a SM reward for u always speaking out 'their minds'?! Just saying u know....

I used to have same problems - like just few privates in few hours... and then i checked my daily time online and realize that its not that bad so i forced myself to stay ON longer! and its pain in the beginning but they will come to you!!! just placement on first page aint everything - you have categories right and you have guys who dont want girls from first pages... so hang in there... i am still not where i wanna be - but im getting there... i charge 3.99/4.99 and i have had only 2 guys in 4 months complain about it (so like someone said before it means its cheap :) ) bc i have shit computer and my feed is shit :D like not lagging but little blurry :D my old laptop can handle just "cable" option so go figure ;) but to be honest i dont work just few hours a day... you have to be online so customers can come in to your room (even tho 90 percent wont even stay 10 seconds :D) HANG IN THERE YOU GOT THIS!!!!

You are soo right. I was going to say the same thing. I'm new on SM too and I charge the same. I'm between 2nd-4rd pages and it feels so slow there. I speak to few people and few privates during all camming time. But when I check my weekly total cash and paid chat percentage, it is not that bad. Then I see that all I have to do is put my ass on that chair and cam :D

Thank you SluttyCocoLoca! I am not giving up on SM this fast. I am on the "1st page" for one of the categories I'm in, but of course it doesn't mean anything right now as far as traffic is concerned. Compared to you, I'm new new at this; I'm counting the past week as my first true week there, so I guess I need to shut up. lol The last time I was on SM my % paid/free was umm a pathetic 11% lol (yikes). I know I need to do at least 50% more time on SM and it kills me I can't split it with another site at the same time. My computer won't take it. Dang thing sucks so many resources compared to other sites. I need to stop feeling so useless I guess when I sit and sit in free and I'm not making any money.

If you really can't stand Streamate's policies and glitches, why not just quit working with them? We're all independent. We can work with whomever we please. There are plenty of other sites, and you can always make your own.
I wasn't aware this was an all or nothing thing. That I either had to love Streamate completely as is, or that I had to 'hate' it because I dislike some of their policies and tactics.
There is a middle ground, where I am allowed to express my opinion about the things I dislike about Streamate while still working for Streamate.

Via Flaminia;2473504]Assuming it's the person I'm seeing on twitter right now, she needs to be careful with that. SM has no problem making an example of someone.
Seriously...pissing on a bee's nest.
Edit: And I mean this with all respect to her - she's a good performer. I would never risk my livelihood that way, no matter how mad I am.
Hi Via ;o)
what do you mean? has anyone been fired for arguing with other models on twitter?
If so that's a first amendment violation on SM part (ie sm does not own twitter, and no sm is not usually mentioned in the tweets). Not that it would stop them. Just curious. Because I have seen a lot.
They could avoid most of that arguing by being more focused with either saying rules do not apply to everyone, for whatever reason, or being happy the girls are helping them regulate. But what do I know ;o)

There definitely is. I was trying to to point out some of the positive aspects of the site, and why I continue to work with them. We tend to focus on the negative aspects here, and that's understandable.
I completely understand why you'd want to point out positive aspects of the site too. I have no problem admitting that Streamate has A LOT of great things going for it as well. It is why I continue to work on the site, and will probably end up doing so for a long time to come.
I don't think it is that we focus so much on the negative aspects here as much as that we can't go to Streamate support with the issues that we do have. I'd love if I could bring up my concerns with the site. I mean, they don't even really have model support. And the support we get is all cut and paste answers because the support team at Streamate is meant for members concerns and not models.

Hi Tips,
Everything stated in your post has been either broadly or specifically addressed in this thread and reasonable conclusions can be drawn. I have contributed along the way and I stand by what I wrote.
I respect the performers on this board, and I think there is nothing to be gained if I rehash or get into semantics.

just wanted to say real quick that Even tho SM has issues and glitches it is STILL the best reliable website and company to work for IN MY OPINION. And speaking from experience after upgrading my internet upload speed and better camera and i7 I have NO LONGER any issues.... never problems with gold shows or website kicking me off. Also I this Sarah is right about saying that when we loose money they loose money !!! so I am sure and its logic THAT they dont just "decide" to cut someone off .. and not pay u... cause they wont get paid either !!! SHITTTT MFC has server issues as wellll.... and about that phone call ... that lady is a human being just like everyone else.. they have certain issues and policies they CANNOT disscuss with "customers", ITS like someone calling to BAnk of america lets say and expecting a freaking customer service representative to explain how they company is RUN etc... u know... (she should have been more polite thats for sure !!!!!!!!) but in the end that guy was a pain in the asssss...
When a performer gets cut off during a gold show and doesnt get paid IT can be for 2 reasons !!! either SM or YOU, even with i7 and best internet connection it can happen !!! someone is saying why SM wont admit !!! well no one wants to admit about doing sometghing wrong right ?? specially when u are a huge company... so even with my i7 when i am not working but just browsing the web my browser freezes here and then..... i am sure it happend to many of you !!! and trust me SM is aware of everything and they will be doing upgrades !!!! they are still best company to work for...
just my opinion and my experience, I used to be on the second page... after upgrading and working hard i am at the top placement so...... here is the truth

Legally you have to put your real name. As for the SSN, I'd ask the recruiting rep Vanessa what you need to put for that.

Yes, that's correct.
@Ariella: It's normal to be required to put your real name on cam model applications. Plus, they'll have your real name anyway, since you need to provide photo ID to prove that you're not some 12-year old. :P

anybody else having placement issues recently? I used to be on page one but now I am all over the place. In one hour I am on page 5 and then on page 2 then on page 1 again and then back to page 4?!?! it changes literally every 10-15 minutes...
my profits have decreased and it has been like this for the past 10 days maybe...
did you have this problem before? how long did it last and, if so, how did you solve it?
thanks for any info I am really freaking out that my position will keep falling...I worked really hard to get to page 1 and was there for months...daily time online is always the same I work every single day 4-6 hours...same net same computer...I have an optical connection and 60mb upload...

Yes I was having placement issue yesterday. I'm usually in row 1 or 2 of my category but I kept dropping to the 5th-7th row. At one point I was even on the second page of my category. I kept reconnecting the encoding because of the lagging and my placement. I had placement issues months-a year back but it worked itself out. Come to think of it, it was either right before or right after the upgrade(I can't really remember).

we could start a thread with computer jokes..to wind up when any site causes issues
anyway, I7 is overrated, because yes, the technology is great, but if you look it up you can see that there is not yet any software on the market that can actually and efficiently use the multiple cores. For that to happen, every soft there is, and especially the OSs (windows, mac) should be rewritten, because they were first written for a one core and, when new versions appeared, whole chunks of code were just pasted in the new one and some things added.
Not even when they made the change from 32 bits to 64 did they really change anything to use multiple cores really efficient.
Also, remember that pc's are supposed to run in n environmnt of a certain temperature, and I bet evry one of you girls like to work in an warm room. i know i do, how could we stay naked if the room was cold?
so i preferred to first invest in a real good cooler (i got a Noctua, it's huge and stuff, but does a great job) and i've seen that it helps a lot in terms of how much the CPU is working and everything.

We definitely do need to upgrade and continue when asked.
Ok so I had a block session that was a regular private. The door sound kept slamming shut but I saw no members and no names exiting. Usually I do see the name when exiting.
Raise your hand if this has happened to you so I dont feel weird :)

One minute I can be on row 2 and next row 7 , it depends who is logging off and on, who is going in GS and exclusives. It is normal sometimes to see this.

I had crazy placement today as well. Ranging from page 3 to page 7 (still new). Also, my encoder crapped out on me for the first time. I'm not sure why. I don't do GS yet because they are not enabled so I was running a regular session in classic chat and at some point the encoder got disconnected and wouldn't reconnect. Not worried about it but just thought I'd let you know it apparently craps out for no reason even outside of GS. I don't run the latest and best equipment but my internet is decent. This was a first for me that I noticed.

I've had that happen a few times that last coupe of weeks. Glad you posted this because I thought I was hearing things. :)

Ok, i was FINALLY approved! It only took 2 months and finally i went crazy bitch in an email and poof! im approved... i need to try that approach more often =) So ill be reading this thread and any others i can get my hands on, but im hoping i can get the hang of a private based site.
Im used to doing privates, but i just charge a flat rate at 5, 10, 20 mins etc. Now i have to start trying to make the show last longer, lol. Im thinking (if at all possible) 2 mins talking teasing, 2 mins stripping, 4 mins show should be my goal. Ofc u want them to last longer, but 8 min average wouldnt be bad. Im always open to advice! Wish me luck, YAY!!

Congrats! Just so you know, the first 30 second are free in pvt/exclusive so don't show everything at once! In block sessions, the first 3 mins are free!

I didn't know that in block sessions the first 3 minutes are free! yikes. Thanks for sharing. Nobody has bought those from me yet, but I'll know to pace myself if that ever happens.
