I think the daily average rating has a good amount of weight on placement not necessarily the actual bad rating. I have noticed a placement demotion a few days after I say get a poor rating and only a couple of 5s. So let’s say that’s a 4 or something for a day, pushes me down a row or so. On a normal day if I get like 10 5s and one 1, that 4.9 doesn’t seem to fuck me up the same way. Both days got a 1 but different effect. If I get a bad rating first thing I do is get more 5s then I decide if contacting support is worth my time.

yeah the only thing keeping me going is the $100 bonus for 25 hours, the bonus for the 10 hours, and hopefully ranking in the contest decently.

Bitrate is dropping to 0.05 in red and jumps again, is crazy. I just did several speedtests and i have 900 mbps up and down in the UK and no jitter, to seattle i get 500 mbps up and down and jitter 2. What the hell?
Update=I think that was because of my Brio, shortly after the webcam died and tested on a laptop as well.

Being a Domme and doing mostly non-nude shows I get a lot of guys not reading my profile and then rating poorly when I won't start fucking my pussy. I'm not a top model and I don't get a ton of ratings, so a few ratings under 5 stars within a 3 month period will knock my overall rating down to 4.5 stars fairly easy and my placement tanks. It's super important to get these removed for my income.
I'm also a non nude domme and I'm not sure if this if fool proof but there's a couple things I do now that has helped me avoid people like this:
-I have it in my profile, but I also put in my room topic every single time "no pussy, no submission, no masturbation." I think guys get that more than non nude. It's annoying to add every single time and to have this non sexy/non kinky thing in my bio but it has helped a lot.
-If people are in my room and they're talking about going private, but they haven't acted submissive in any way, I make sure they know my room is a femdom room and "you know no one's good enough to see this pussy right?" Lately I've had even more vanilla people coming in so I've started asking "so what kind of kinky things are you into little beta?" or something to that effect right away so I can try to catch them before they randomly hit the exclusive button.
If they still miss all this and come into exclusive anyways, I've managed to avoid them getting cranky by guilting them for not even reading my room topic before taking me exclusive, haha. The only problem I'm consistently still facing is people with reaaaally limited English who clearly didn't understand anything in my room topic and can't understand when I'm telling them no. But the past few days I've been getting brave enough to just stop their shows.

Not true. They won't remove ratings in shows under 3 minutes no matter what. I've argued with support relentlessly about it on several occasions. So unless you're lucky or special you'll have to contact Liz to have them removed.
I'm definately not classed as lucky or special on this site (quite the reverse) and they removed my 1 star minute man sans screen grab thankfully.

They remove them if they are under 3 minutes no questions asked...I was talking about shows over 3 minutes.

My bitrate is total shit right now and has been for about 15 min. RED! Restarted router and modem, refreshed, restarted laptop. NOTHING.
Guess I'm doing these hours to get the bonus but won't get any shows during the whole time.
FUCK!!! I'm really irritated!!!

Yep, screenshot and emailed them back and forth explaining that the member was clearly abusive and asking for things I didn't do. I've been told 4 times that ratings on any show 3 minutes or less can't be removed. This has only been since they made that stupid rule though. I never used to have any problems having them removed. So now I just kick members out that I feel will rate poorly before that 3 minute mark.
Here's what they said in one email:
"Hello,
>
> The customer rating you are requesting we remove is for a paid session
> lasting longer than 3 minutes.
>
> To maintain the accuracy of performer ratings, we will not be removing
> this rating. We are happy to assist with removing rates for shorter
> sessions lasting fewer than 3 minutes to avoid these building up
> and reflecting poorly on your overall star rating.
>
> Ratings are intended for members to leave their honest opinion or
> feedback for others to see. Not all users are expected to leave 5
> star ratings. We encourage performers to ask members who have
> positive experiences to rate their show. When your account is rated
> often, the effect of a single low rating is minimal.
>
> If you still feel you have been rated unfairly, please provide details
> about what happened in the paid chat session and we would be happy
> to look into it for you. However, we do not guarantee that the star
> rating will be removed.
>
> Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with."
Then I responded saying that the show was exactly 3 minutes and he clearly asked for something I have listed in my profile that I don't offer, so how is that fair? Also sent a screenshot of the chat and my profile.
This was their second response:
"Our apologies, if the session is three minutes or longer, it will not be deleted.
If the session is two minutes and fifty-nine seconds or less, it can be deleted.
Thanks for your understanding in this matter."
I had some stupid motherfucker who took me pvt for barely 2 minutes and then rated 1 star, idk for what reason. This rating got lost among all 5 star ratings, so I gave 0 fucks about it and just blocked that bastard when he visited me again. (Yes, he had the audacity to come again lol)
It was long ago, and I did not know the ratings could be removed. It's sad that they didnot remove yours:( It is just unfair.

It would be far easier if they were only able to leave a rating after 3 minutes had elapsed. On Adultwork feedback is visible to everyone with ratings and comments but they can only leave it after a 4 minute or more show.

Really wish these contests would work for me. I end up working more hours for less money, even if I reach a bonus. I feel like contests just funnel money to the top earners and leaves the rest of us with false hope. having a horrible time with this one so far.

Best part is that we can leave public feedback for customers too. Nothing better than telling someone to fuck off and read their own feedback after they message a request because every model they have fucked around calls them an absolute prick right there on their own profile.

Haha yes I use the site every day and I forgot about that, two way feedback - much better! In many ways SM is better than AW but the ratings system is not one of them.

Historically yes.
the first 25% bonus should be on the check the cut this week, everything else on the next. We will see. Holidays tend to mess all this up

i'd say better for me. i've been on SM for seven years (generally with very part-time hours) and during the pandemic i had a LOT of old customers/regulars who actually returned to the site after not being around for years, presumably out of lock-down boredom, unemployment, and/or lack of regular sexual opportunities in their real/physical lives. the nice thing was that despite not hearing from them for years, they still had active accounts and therefore still had me in their favorites.
there's a bit more competition as there are a lot more models working at any one time; likely because so many people lost their jobs and turned to camming or onlyfans-type hustles for income in the past year. though i suspect as the economy starts picking up and people can return to work/find new jobs, we'll see a drop in new models. there are also a lot more bored broke freeloaders who hang out on the site because they're unemployed due to covid, though again i suspect this will be less prevalent as time goes on. plus there are always new guys who have plenty of money to spend.
as far as SM in general, they still have their glitches but IMO they have done a lot to improve the site. i enjoy using SMConnect and i've grown to love my tip vibe and the interactive features built into SM's platform. it's very rare that i have an absolutely detrimental shift in terms of tech/broadcast issues. for the most part things are generally stable for me.
it's a balance but all in all i'd say the pandemic has been positive for me in terms of camming, and SM has generally been as good if not better than pre-pandemic.

So I made a streamate account almost a year ago, and haven't used it since around July or August- I think I did literally 4 or 5 streams before switching to a token site. Is it worth deleting and making a new account, or should I just stick with the one I have if I return?

I logged off this morning just before 1am and over 12hrs later I’m surprised how little
my rank has moved.
The majority of yesterday was painful too right up until 11pm. Forced myself through all my shift then they all came back out in droves, by which time I was shattered from how tedious and quiet it was the rest of the day!

I'm getting mildly annoyed at how my last comment/review is from February. I know guys have left me comments since then and in particular I should have several from this past week. I thought I read somewhat recently here that some of you asked to have your newest comments posted, and then they finally showed up? Or something like that. If so did you ask Liz or tech support?

I wish there was a way to change the sound of lower tips. Every time our youngest cat hears them she wakes up and comes to yell at us, the computer and the tipper. She's so loud and annoyed, that we were almost unable to fulfill our kissing request, we were laughing so hard. We can't turn off the notification, because the tip vibe doesn't catch 100% of them. And we can't have her getting us banned -which is obviously her plan. Eh.

I started using mine again after it was dormant for about a year and it was fine. Maybe try it for a week or two and if it isn't good start a new account.
