Why when i am in classic chat i dont get the trolls?!

I used to get quite a few nasty people in free chat talking shit, but now that they have this stupid tags feature, they're just using that feature instead to talk all kinds of shit. So now, even on days when I'm not camming on SM, I have to make it a daily habit to log in just to check my damn tags to see if there are any new ones that I need to block.

I used to do Classic Chat, but then guys in the room (especially my best tipping regular) would CONSTANTLY be confused and be like "Huh?" whenever I was addressing someone else's comment/question. It got pretty annoying to have to keep telling people "I was talking to somebody else." So I keep it in Party Chat mode now. Like I said, now that so many of these assholes are just abusing the tags feature, I'm not getting as many nasty comments as before in free chat. But what I do is the moment I start to suspect someone in free chat may need to be blocked, I keep my cursor hovered over their name, waiting for them to fuck up. And then when they do, it allows me to be quicker about blocking them before they leave.

How did y'all find out about the 'less than 3% in paid chat gets you suspended' thing? Was this something that Liz or Vanessa told you via e-mail? If, for some reason, you don't wanna tell me out in the open, PM me. I'm just curious, because SM never tells anybody anything...lol. And this is my first time hearing that.

I think that you dont get suspended if you are in paid chat less than 3% ... i think its just mentioned where they say about placement - like be online as much as possible for better placement but if its less than 3% it doesnt matter and wont help your placement... I dont know tho... but I dont believe they would suspend you for it...

I was having issues all day and night yesterday. Constantly freezing and finally had to log out and back in a few times. didn't really help at all tho. Guys were saying it wasn't me.. so made me feel

SM changed the encoder setting recommendations, which should fix disconnection/freezing issues. I recommend you guys check it out.

Cam_Model_Jess

Tips and Tutorials:

"We ask that Streamate performers maintain a minimum of 3% of their total time in paid chat. "

And yes, back when support wasn't just bots and people who don't read e-mails, I was told 5% was a requirement. Then someone pointed out to me that it had changed to 3%. It is now worded in such a way that it sounds like they're suggesting that you do it so your placement will be better. However, I see "we ask that..." as a requirement. Suppose it's up to each person to interpret that how they like. But I'm not going to test the waters.

Just curious as to any strategies you guys use to get more guys into your room?

I can't seem to keep anybody lately and I've tried changing my outfit, camming at different times, talking to them, my charm seems to have worn off. :(

I also post when I'm on to my tumblr and twitter and still empty. So frustrating!

I think that's just how it's been as of late. My room is pretty dead the majority of the time. So I just chatter openly/absentmindedly and browse tumblr. Is that any good for camming? I've seen a few girls use it, but tumblr is full of crazy bitches.

Well you can stand up and tease and show off body parts...but I've found that usually just gets the freeloaders in your room. So, just be yourself and be friendly...your room doesn't have to be full all of the time to get shows. I mean, just look at some of the top girls with packed rooms still struggling to get a gold show going! Full doesn't always equal $$

I've been on SM over 2 years...this is the worst traffic I have seen in that time. I don't know if it's because of the effect the GOLD SHOWS have had on the site, more models, or if the traffic is just dying or just less spenders in general. I'm almost tempted to activate geo block so I an block India..tons of freeloaders from there. I just don't know how much that will affect my overall traffic..I know some top gals use geo block on somewhere because they don't even show up until I log in as registered.

I didn't either. I was using the downloaded "recommended settings" and so I went in and downloaded it again today and sure enough, they changed the settings without telling us!

Thanks for posting about it Jess and Via Flaminia and Sammi. I wouldn't have thought to check.

Why don't they tell us when they change something so important!

That's not very encouraging. Ugh.. I got on earlier today and I only stayed for 15 minutes. No takers. Just had a bad feeling about it and had to log out. The one guy who seemed interested and was going to do a bit of fetish got disconnected or something. Said he was accessing the site on his phone. I've had a lot of guys like that lately.. on tablets or phone. Seems like it's not a stable connection for them because at least 2 others complained of getting disconnected every few minutes. Will have to try my luck again later.

look at your auto adjust settings (the tool) I had to bump mine to 5

Most of these settings have been there for months. I just checked and they didn't change anything to the settings. Some of you may not have been aware of that change back in October or November.

The only change that might have been made is the Audio Adjust settings. I don't remember if those were there or not.

I took a break from a terrible afternoon for some lunch and do some other clip stuffs while I'm lunching. First my room was empty then guys came in but they were all just freeloaders sitting there. Ewww.

But then I got an email from Liz that I can raise my rates! Too bad it's coming on a slow day but maybe it'll pick up by the late afternoon or tonight. I know it's not me, I was looking cute on cam!

Just glad I can raise it from the original cap of 3.99/4.99

I've been on SM over 2 years...this is the worst traffic I have seen in that time.

I really hope it clears up and things get back to normal. Last night was my worst day ever. I made a total of $4.25 in the 4 hours I was on cam. I usually can put away $200. I was talking and being my usual fun, nerdy, blah blah self. I did have some dudes hanging out and that were contributing to all 3 failed gold shows, which was a little encouraging. I ended up getting angry, raged with my fellow lurkers/regs (because I have a bit of a feisty take no shit attitude which people seem to love), then went and cried on my fiance's lap.

I agree. Traffic is sucking no matter what your placement is it seems. I will have a day where I am up pretty far placement wise and still don't have traffic. U are not alone in this. Sm is sucking for a lot of us !! Sure hope it gets better. I am starting to really worry !

TY bb.. wonder why they didn't send out a email?
LOVE ALL THA CAMGIRLS THAT PUT ENERGY INTO HELPING :)and making SM a little easier to understand
Yeah, I wondered the same thing. I don't know why they didn't send out a mass e-mail ... someone in Chatzy told me they updated the recommended settings last week.

Most of these settings have been there for months. I just checked and they didn't change anything to the settings. Some of you may not have been aware of that change back in October or November.

The only change that might have been made is the Audio Adjust settings. I don't remember if those were there or not.
I was talking about the Auto Adjust settings. According to Liz, it's supposed to stop the blinking/freezing/disconnecting, which is a very common issue on here.

Girls I contacted support and they replied :
"Audio sample rate of 22050 - this is required for your audio to continue working properly"

I'm officially done with SM for the afternoon lol

I just had a German guy come in and claim that he was looking for an American black woman to be his wife and bear his children. I'm done. xD

So we shouldn't be using 44100? Or did I miss something?

I followed your advice and unclicked 'auto adjust'. Should I click it now or leave it! Thanks!
