ugh has anyone else had an issue with blocked users still being able to send messages?
i had tech support block a user from both my chat and my messages which i confirmed in my block list last week. he was checked off on both. yet today in my Messenger (not the classic inbox) he sent me $10 gold and apologized for getting blocked. and it wasn't a new account, because his old messages he had sent before I blocked him were also there.

^All the time, I emailed Liz recently and she didn't really have an answer as to why they can still write me through messenger. Archiving doesn't seem to work, cuz whenever they message again the convo resurfaces. I just try to ignore and hope they'll give up

it might be your location.
US independent models do get 35% while other independent models in other countries receive 30% bc of the country tier.
i realized after i wrote this that you already know about the country tier
lol
sorry
i think most models agree that its kinda fucked up but i dont know the logic behind it

I blocked a guy in chat and from messages but he is still able to write in Messenger, this is indeed a bug. I even asked him how he was able to write me and he said "i am using a different interface of the site".

Thank you ^!
They just emailed me saying it was issued 2/12, (says 11th on my dash::)).
Also said there's delays, our mail's been coming around 12N, now it's 2pm.
Just frustrating, waiting
Mine were 3 weeks delayed, 2 came this week though

Thank you ladies, I'll try those! I do also find when it's empty in my room for a while, when someone comes in they are immediately followed by one or two more, like they were waiting or something! Guess that could indicate a problem with the stream I didn't know about I suppose...
I always make sure to clean my cache & reboot my hotspot/phone if I'm using that for streaming bc sometimes it gets bogged & causes my streams to freeze. I will always ask the guys how my stream is. Most will tell you & wait for you to go excl until you fix it.

Is the site a complete mess for everyone else? Not only am I on page four, but I’ve seen a bunch of people on multiple pages.
I wrote about it last night:
So my placement was jacked and constantly moving around, and I couldn't tell if it was happening to everyone but I definitely saw other girls moving around rapidly between page 1 and 2. I kept moving between the middle and the very bottom of page one from what I could see. My potentials were low but they were not as super low as they would normally be if my placement was that low and I still had decent traffic and did well(was only on for an hour though) so idk if it's doing that thing it's done before where placement looks messed up to me but for logged in members it's normal.
I had same experience today but my traffic and $$$ was the same as usual so my hypothesis seems to be correct.

yeah i have just a few very specific but very loyal clients for raceplay so im not worried it will be recorded. i dont want to create a debate or step on anyones toes here on the forum, but i really need to know if its allowed or not ,i dont want to risk my account. i get asked on the daily for bbc or such things . my husband isnt white and neither are many of my family members. im not worried what people think of me online too much. its just acting . but like you said i want to follow the rules.
and it is very unclear in these 2 areas.
for the diaper thing, i thought it might be a kind of age play or some kind of baby thing, so i actually told the client NO . But after talking to them in exclusive and repeatedly confirming details, for about 20 minutes, i realized that they just want to me to sit in a diaper and just act my normal self with them and talk. they just really like how it looks. an actual diaper fetish.. so it seemed to confuse me if it was allowed or not. and they send me more gold to ask specifically for them. it was more than $60 my cut plus tip for me to ask, i take camming very seriously, and i feel obligated to confirm.
better safe than sorry.
Good luck on getting a response. (I’m not being snarky. I mean it’d be nice to have some clarity!) I don’t think a corporation is going to give performers written permission to use the N word-even just for race play during this time period.
You can e-mail Liz, but if you aren’t getting in trouble then I’d keep doing what your doing. That’s pretty much how the adult industry works. Do whatever you can get away with then apologize like hell if you get in trouble. Especially if it’s only a few loyal customers I doubt you’ll get tagged. I hope you get a response. It’d be nice to get some clarity, but due to the sensitive nature of the topic and everything with visa/MasterCard. I doubt they’ll give a green light to do race play especially permission to use the N word-even if it’s scripted.
The diaper thing? Is he a little? As long as he not talking or acting like a little boy I’m sure it’s fine.
I don’t understand the psychology behind it, but I do know sex work can be a form of psychodrama- psychology treatment. In terms of its therapeutic benefits, I personally am okay with whatever my client is okay with. I’m not responsible for my clients mental health. If it comes from trauma then it’s their responsibility to get help-most won’t. You’d be surprised about the therapeutic benefits of sex work.
I asked my sex worker therapist about taboo because I would hate to retraumatize myself
or my client. My therapist said even the mother-son taboo stuff isn’t necessarily bad. It doesn’t mean they were molested or will abuse children. They can get off because it’s taboo.
You can always have client agree to go to therapy if you think it’s from trauma.
If it gives you a bad vibe don’t do it. I personally of the opinion what two consenting adults do is none of my business. Sex work is so misunderstood that we have to navigate this shit without a compass.
Sorry for the lengthy response, but I actually did a lot of research to make sure what I was doing was ethical. I couldn’t do my work if it thought it was harmful to myself or society. Just wanted to share my knowledge :)

i literally agree with everything you are saying. but we have to respect what the site wants and the cardproceessor wants. and im fine with that.
i just cant take any risks with getting my account blocked. like you i am a rule follower.
the client just wants me to sit in an adult diaper and talk to him. but i need to be careful. i wont take his shows until i have a reply.
i just wish i knew EXACTLY what the exact rules were for each fetish and i would be 100% fine with that. i just want to feel safe with my account and secure.
i say no to a lot of shows and report people daily.
i blocked someone during a show yesterday that mention if i wanted to "meet up" INSTANT block. no matter what.
today i did take a raceplay show in a block but i had to make certain limits , and i hope that was what streamate wanted.
its hard to know

but the major point that I took out of her post, was that someone who works for the site will not give you or anyone that info. Especially if they know it is in a public forum. I really appreciate when they take the time to respond or update us but I myself don’t really want to have a back and forth with anyone from sm on a forum.

I like the Lush inside me, seems to store up my wetness (juices and lube) I am not sure however if this is healthy but I do remove it at least once per hour if not more - so probably not a problem.
Do wish the SM system would indicate 'Gold for tip toy/vibe' when being tipped, all I see is the blue button on the dashboard indicating the toy is connected but sometimes it is not. I always thank for Gold and now do a little squirm just in case.

Same here, once I checked I was in page 8, then 3, then 6....and I saw girls appearing multiple times within a page. o.O But it doesnt affect my earnings, my problem is the ton of freeloaders and bad traffic.

I take the same pose every time. It's within the frame and looks good, but it's the same every time. I don't mind it being the same pose as feet are my selling point. I just position myself in the frame so my whole body is there with feet right up front.
It's difficult to do it tho as the timer is short and the button is a bit far from me when I take it, but I lay in position, reach as far as I can for the button, then take the shot.
It isn't easy and a lot of models have the same issue.

I'm having a visitor this weekend so I only have until 3pm CST and it's almost 7am CST. Thanks! I was gonna totally just fuck off this contest, but I did hours anyway. My intention was to just do the hours and make $800 (I manifested a $150 customs order) so I'm happy regardless.

Taking a couple and choosing one if you don't get it first time can end up in a long process. But I find that just snapping the first one and taking it works, then taking one a few mins later in conversation or a nice pose you did accidentally in free chat makes the nicest ones. Feels a bit too pressured at the beginning and when I sit down I just want to get online not worry too much about the pic.
I think a great tool would be a burst shot feature for those who do want to get a nice pic before logging on and who don't want the faff of trying to click the mouse with their foot or whatever to get into position in 3 seconds over and over. The ideal change would be to be able to select the countdown duration and also to then select the number of pics to be taken. 30s with 5s in between for example, or a 15 second countdown for a single shot that takes a while to arrange.
On a side note, my lush 2 has bitten the dust and my kiiroo esca has the bluetooth range of a potato. I have a new lush on the way but in the meantime I am using my Domi. At least for as long as I can manage it, see the problem is one time I had the settings up on 'very high' for all tips for a chaos show I did a while ago. NOW IT IS STUCK THERE. Everytime I go to edit settings, I change one thing and the save button becomes greyed out. Can anyone replicate the error so I know it isn't just me, or has anyone managed to fix it?

you can change how long the snapshot countdown is, to 15 seconds. and can use a separate mouse or controller to hit the button when you are in position. simple.

I agree, I am in the Uk and if you delete all your cookies and history on Chrome browser will appear the old interface when you check streamate and I am page 5. And believe, the traffic is non existent on page 5. That is 2 weeks now and my earnings are 80%-90% down. Am desperate here lol.

I have had a reg check my placement multiple times either 1) during a contest or 2) when it's dead and during the last contest he reported he couldn't find me in the first 20 pages. Even when typing in my name he can't find me?

In regard to placement, I've fallen 7 rows from page 1 since the beginning of last week's pay period. I streamed 36 hrs I think last week for barely $500 then have streamed over 34 this week and just barely made top 900.
All the hours and shitty hourly has me now on page 2. Fuckin A! It's a bitch and a half ladies. I get it.

I would like to double down on that sentiment. Most cam sites won't ban you for doing things that are not illegal, however ...
Will clients record you in your show using the N-word and blow you up on twitter calling for you to be banned even though you did what they asked for? Yes. Cancel culture is very real and you could become # diapergirl or # racist camgirl anytime.

just wondering for all the models who say their earnings tank and they get almost no traffic during contests -- how many "favorites" do you have?
i only ask because sometimes i feel like the only people in my room during contests are regs and guys who i've done shows with before. like i have way less new customers. but i have like 8000 favorites and so i know a decent amount of people are seeing me at the top of their front page because of that, and seems to be a saving grace during contests. otherwise i also wonder if my placement gets buried for new customers.

I feel for the OP. I worked at a club where there were a bazillion rules. In Denver, you had to wear three thongs or get risk getting ticketed. In Texas if they really want to be a dick you can get ticketed for grinding on a guy and then have to sign up as a sexual offender. Yikes. This is very rare, but if a cop feels like being a dick they can totally ticketed you and ruin your life. Working at clubs where they say there’s no sex in the champagne room unless you bribe the door guy....yeah.
As sex workers, our work is risky. We should be treated like any other profession with clear rules and expectations, but the public unconsciousness around sex work means we have to constantly weigh the pros and cons for ourselves. This why I don’t think we should be working so hard for so little. These guys are not only paying for our time and the emotional labor, but we need to be compensated for the psychological cost of sex work after too! That’s why I get so mad when I see new girls doing cheap shows. Yeah maybe you’re happy you made x amount now, but you have to factor in the psychological burden of sex work. So if you do maybe charge $5000! Charge enough that you can retire and doesn’t matter if you get cut off from the platform you already have your bag. Explain to them I could lose my platform, so I need you to do an hour of time to make it worth my while. Tip x amount of dollar during the show.

I'm just about to hit 4000 favorites. I've noticed my earnings tend to reflect the amount of traffic I'm getting: low traffic/visibility =low earnings and high traffic = high earnings with lots of new customers. Although some slow nights can definitely be saved by 1 or 2 ppl. Seems like this would be true for most models, as more traffic means greater earning potential
Just checked this week's earnings report and it looks like it's actually mostly new people with only some regulars. Still, the traffic has been a painfully slow trickle of mostly trolls... and I always wonder where my regs are during contests, or anyone at all!

i totally agree. i am going to keep 2 clients i have that ive had for 1 year for raceplay since we have an understanding.. but im not adding any more raceplay requests.
honestly every one of my uncles are african american, my husband is mexican, and my family is very understanding and they know im not racist, but the rest of the world is so judgmental.
in todays climate ect. i take my acting craft very seriously , but the world wont see it that way.

Hey, what do you mean by merging countries? Is this the reason for everyone's fall in placement? Is it some permanent change?
