Contact SM support and them ask to enable phone. I have to do that numerous times.

i ask for gold show since i have 5 stars use the encoder when i can cam 4 hours everyday and i havent taken a day off there since last week on monday and this is what i get
Gold show status given automatically based on ratings, stream quality and consistency on line. Each day our system scans for eligible accounts and activates the feature for them. If you are on line regularly, using the HD encoder and are rated 4.5 stars or higher, you could be activated for gold shows automatically. You would be notified in your account if so!
The more you're on line and chatting with members in paid sessions the better your chances of getting gold shows!
Please note - we are not the ones that determine Gold Show eligibility. What we do here is let you know the requirements you need to have in place in order to be eligible. The gold show approval system is automated and runs daily, so you will get your gold shows on the same day that you qualify!

Its funny when they say u must use the encoder to get gold shows. Last year I got gold shows and I was not even using the encoder yet. I guess for the most part people do use the encoder though. Snowy I hope they give u the gold show option soon. When people write them they are a bunch of idiots sometimes.

Exactly. I hate the encoder, and I've run several Gold show countdowns without it too.

Babe this must be new bc a friend is experiencing the same thing. They are pulling in the reigns of handing out gold shows. She will be automatically notified when she can stream gold. She is new and has not been consistent online, she doesnt bring in enough money for them to justify her to raise her rates etc, seems as if they are putting the brakes on a lot of things. Basically the model has to bring in money.. Ok, so she asks me whyyyyyyy lol and the only thing i can think of is 1) she is not online consistent 2) she hasnt cammed long and 3)sm is seeing all the new request such as raise the rates and they want proof, hell. If she cant sell herself at 3.99 what makes them think she can do 5.99 or more? She asked me to watch her last night and i did, when she wasnt expecting so i could feel her out on the norm and man.... Cammodeling is about sexy imo.
Kinda a vent here lol but i was just saying you are not the only one

Just curious, if you could implement one new site feature (or improvement), what would it be? For me, hands down it would be offline tipping.
It seems they disabled the feature that live previews the chat room from the main thumbnail page. I have not noticed it in a while and if the did do away from it I think it's a good move. It must have been a drag on processing and from a customer's standpoint (at least mine) it was not as useful as it seemed it might be.
Another minor idea I have is to be able to enlarge the list of user names in chat. The chat text itself can increase but the names stay the same. I would like to be able to see both away from the screen.
After that, it would be to let us link our Twitter names, but I would prefer offline Gold above everything else.

The chat room thumbnail previews are still working when I log into my custy acct. Are you logging into SM's main site Doodlebug?
I would love to see offline Gold implemented too. That would rock!!!

The ability to block members even after they've left the room.

^^^ Regarding blocking, when i block a member, m i blocking his account like from entering my room or just that username? Cause i know guys can change usernames but was never sure how blocking actually works and what they see when trying to enter my room, is there a message telling they blocked? Do they see us on site at all, can they see us in freechat as invisible guests?! I dont have a member account and was always puzzled by how blocking really works. Also, when u kick them, what message do they get? I realize they understand they kicked cause some will return and complain haha but when blocking i dont know what effect has on them lol. I try to block as little as possible but still, in 3 years i blocked 198 guys.
Cam_Model_Jess

You're blocking the customer, not the username. If he changes his name after, it will change on your block list & he will stay blocked. If you block from messages and from chat, they cannot see you. They only way they can even see your page at all is if they find you under their paid sessions and get to your room from there. Then they can only see your page & that they are blocked; they can't see "you" personally or interact with you in any way. If you let them send messages then yes they can still see your page, but they still can't see you or interact with you other than to send a message. ANYONE can see you when they're not logged in (even someone you blocked), unless you have a geo-restriction.
If they haven't done anything to upset support, they can open a new account. I've blocked up to four accounts for one person (that I know of). Some of them are dumb enough (cocky enough) to use the same name each time. And I'm talking about very unique names.
When you kick, they get a message that says "The performer has temporarily dislodged you from her chat room." When you block, the message says "You have been permanently banned from this performer's room." I'm going off memory here.

Be careful! It says in the rules that you need to use the encoder to run your gold shows. Another camgirl told me that if they find out that you are running gold shows without your encoder that they will take your ability to run them away.

I have not been able to successfully do a Gold show, and probably won't be making anymore attempts. I just don't like the kind of guys that Gold shows attract. But I do appreciate the warning...thanks for the heads up! :)

I was just in a SM room of a model who's running a Gold show countdown. Some guy, who was the first one to chip in, said to the model "I don't get anything for being the first tipper?" *rolling my eyes*
WTF is wrong with some of these guys? They tip $2-$3 and expect the model to give them the moon and stars??? Spoiled-ass mothafuckas.....

That's why I stopped doing Gold Shows altogether even though I was excited about doing them at first. They are spoiled rotten!
The last straw was when I was going to do a striptease/oil show for 10 min awhile ago. 5 gold to get in for that was pretty good and fair I thought. I even offered pics to the highest tipper. A guy came in and was like, "What? No squirting? No anal? No toys?" and I just had to log off to keep myself from losing my temper.
Boys are spoiled completely ROTTEN.

Some loser got blocked from a private today. My first one too, this fool kept logging off and back on before the 30 sec pay charge. I let it happen 3 times to test his ass giving him the benefit of the doubt that maybe he had disconnection issues. I kept buttoning up my blouse every time he left too and each time he kept saying, "Keep stripping baby." Haha, no fucknut, you're not pulling one over on me. BLOCKED!

That is EXACTLY the same message I got from them when trying to enable Gold Shows on my account. Granted, I haven't been broadcasting much, so I thought it was just some new policy. Has anyone else got through with getting Gold Shows enabled after asking for it recently? I'm curious now...

The logic is that they are getting off on 'getting one over' on hot women.
They feel powerless in their own life so they get off on trying to take our power away from us.

Yes,just keep asking and bothering the heck out of them.Just make sure your using the encoder at all times.For some reason they know if your using it or not.In my case at least.Good luck.I think i also ask vanessa not streamate.

In regards to Livia and the gold show comments, I started on SM a couple weeks ago and just selected HD from the drop down menu above my cam image. After about 2 weeks of streaming and doing okay for the limited hours I was on (10 hours a week maybe and 20 hours total) they sent me an email stating that my gold shows are enabled. I never contacted them about the gold shows because I have been getting decent privates to where I can make at least $50 an hour. I read about the gold shows, watched girls try to get their shows going, etc. But I never intended to do a gold show but they enabled them anyway. So that's my recent experience with getting gold shoes enabled. Also, I did email Vanessa that works for the adultwebcammodel and she lifted the 3 week wait on paychecks. Much appreciated..I wad worried about putting in so many hours to see if I would do well on there just to have my checks not show up or something. All good now.

Hey y'all!! Newbie here and first post. I'm trying to get into the whole camming thing but I'm not very photogenic, etc. and I don't have a great camera. Took a picture using my webcam and it was cute enough (to me :D) to get me started on streamate. Long story short...i uploaded it onto streamate as my bio pic and now I'm getting all this hooblah about potential copyright infringement or something to that affect. What does that even me? And also I tried to email support but yahoo didnt recognize the email address. Umm..whats a girl to do?

Do you guys think that the delay is causing some guys to get impatient waiting for an answer and leaving because they dont know about it? I keep getting guys asking for things like theyre gonna bite then leave right after I'm done answering them and i dont think they stuck around long enuf for the delay to broadcast it to them.

I have just received a 3 star rating from two guys who had shows lasting only 2.27 and 3.33 minutes.
All of my other ratings have been for 5 stars but because I have only been able to work between 10 and 15 hours a week I on-line I only normally get 1 or 2 guys rating me per week I have dropped down to 4 stars

its over the minute mark so they might be hard for SM to remove......
ask every customer to rate you , offer a pic (one) to get it going faster.

Contact SM support and ask them to remove those low ratings. If they didn't ask you for what they want, then they can't give you a shitty rating! I mean, how is that even possible?

Even though I wish I had gotten certain SM regulars to sign up with my cammodels link (back then, I just kept using the regular link on Twitter...*facepalm*) so I could get more money, I would never actually tell a guy to close his account just for me and re-signup using my cammodels link. That would kind of be a hassle for the guys, and they'd have to start all over in getting those number rankings beside their screen names, right?
