I'm logged in but can't stream. It just keeps loading and loading and eventually stops. It's the same never-ending loading blue circle.
yep , this is also my experience. I ended up just giving up and doing other things

I cannot get on either, I logged in earlier got everything ready to go. Came back did the face scan, but would not start the stream after that. When I looked at the dashboard window I am logged out, and when I try to log in I get the 'email or password not correct' message.

can’t see any ladies with U.K. flags right now so it must be an issue for anyone streaming from U.K.

Possibly, but I am in the U.S.
edit: I think the girls online just never stopped or refreshed their stream so they were able to bypass being booted from the site but thats just my guess. I was streaming fine until I refreshed and thats what kicked me off.

Well this is nothing like the usual contest-time glitches. I think they owe us some additional compensation for having to deal with the BS.

I was briefly reminded of "Streamgate 2015" while reading about all the glitches. For those who would like to know the hell we all went thru, it started in this topic on July 1, 2015 with a post by Kit Catt post #19116 then snowballed into hell. It was also the only time I know of, where Streamate actually gave those who worked during it a payment for enduring it. It was that bad.
^^^ Oh yes that was BAD! I got no compensation for enduring it tho...

They 100% DO see it, and they DO deliberately ignore it. I literally ask every guy asking to meet or sharing their contacts whether they've seen the warning and every fucking one will be like oh yeah I have so what:banghead:.
I have a semi-reg who once asked whether I'd do a show on skype. I told him asking for contacts was a big no-no with the site, but he kept asking once in a while whether I'd changed my mind. I thought it to be a joke, but he keept changing his nickname like once in a few months and I asked why. He told the site keeped banning him for some reason saying it was because of numerous reports; he believed one "couldn't be loved by everyone" (c) so just kept making new accounts. I asked if he asked anyone else for skype, he said yes. I told him he was getting reported for breaking the site TOS I had told and kept telling him about. He was SO shocked THE RULES ACTUALLY WERE TO BE FOLLOWED. He earnestly thought the models saying "no, I can't, it's forbidden" were just playing hard to get and whoever reported him did it just out of some weird personal spite.
My thought is that since they see SM as a place to relax and entertain themselves, they don't believe the rules are for real and think them to be a play-pretend to add up to the experience. You know, the way a guardian in a MMO RPG warns you to keep clear of the edges of a teleport to avoid injury, but nothing really happens if you don't. I won't be surprised if they think the site put the TOS and all the warnings there just to give them the extra thrill of rulebreaking.
Oh, this example explains the things perfectly! Internet still seems to be the place with no laws for some people. (great example with MMORPG btw!;D)
I am wondering if "Do you want me to be banned/removed from here" might work a little better?
I think they don't care about us lol It's better to appeal to their own interests, but as Sunnylexie said, people honestly think they will work it out somehow.

SM disabled the room topics and people are sticking their @handles onto their avvies like nothing's wrong lol. Wondering what SM is gonna do now. My guess is, go back to the premade and premoderated userpics))
.
Wow, what's wrong with the people doing it? Why the fuck do they insist on breaking the fucking rules like that? These actions will instigate SM disable/change some other options. Honestly, I thought everything was relatively ok by the time SM started to set that every-stream-verification. I thought the only problem was girls showing themselves below the waist in free chat. But then I realized there re not only naked models, but also pre-recorded live streams, people streaming under other's documents...wtf with them? I mean, why? Any model can create twitter/any other social media under the same name she has on SM so guys could find her. Or she can open twitter account and ask SM to change her name according to it. Nothing difficult.
With their stupid actions they turn the site into trash. I loved the room topic. I could set my show description in short there, and it worked. People didnot ask qs about my shows, they could read it and it was great.

I surely hope so, yesterday was awful. After the website kicked everyone out and eventually fixed itself, I decided to keep streaming despite it being completely dead and it was a total waste of time. My stream was constantly lagging, I kept getting disconnected, no traffic. I really hope today is better but honestly I'm just ready for this stupid contest to be over.

Hey hope things are improving somewhat for everyone, I've also had the lagginess but at least it seems most of us are now able to log in. Read something about hypnosis and the TOS. I did have someone who wanted deeply detailed roleplays where he would "hypnotise" me and all of a sudden I wanted to be a horny slut effectively. Always very polite always clear it was just a fantasy. Does anyone know if that would now be banned under the new regulations? Thanks!

my stream has been almost unusable and when I messaged liz she said they were having tech issues. It honestly doesn't seem fair.

It's not. My bitrate has been mostly in the red for the best part of two weeks now. Also I am still showing the yellow banner for approval and it's two days away now. Great. SM is really getting on my tits right now.

Yes that was my thought. If someone likes you, they will assume you might be on some kind of social media and google you. If you have your model name mentioned in your profile or in the posts, you will come up in the search anyway. Why stick your insta or twitter handle on your userpic like this (unless you have the specific goal of promoting your social media acct).

Hey girls, for those who noticed lagging of the stream every 40 mins o so
It can be cured by changing the webcam in settings into something else and then change it back (into brio in my case). At the start I was silly and just kept refreshing the stream /scanning the face again until I found it I can do that .
So I scare my customers periodically with integrated webcam :D
How is everyone doing? Tuesday was really bad for me especially night(no potentials no customers) and I have messaged Liz so she can check my account but she told me there are technical
Issues.. well The announcement would be good lol I never work at nights but decided to try for the contest which was total waste of energy . Friday however was somewhat good. I finished with my three days now

Yea, in the most cases they will attract only losers that will waste their time in social media too.

I constantly check and reconnect by hovering over the green to check, restarting phone, opening app, clicking on connect button just the same as starting for the day.
I had 2 hours of time to stream Thursday, the site outage happened same time so I could not stream. Friday, Saturday I was busy with RL work (SW and non-SW). Should get on today.

Yesterday I did plug in a cheap webcam and every time I would see my stream lagging and freezing and cpu at 80-90% switched for a second with that chea webcam and back and voile, no more lagging, thank you for this advice! That way I managed to do over 7 hours yesterday without wasting long time refreshing countless times.
Lately I observed is working and potentially traffic only at the times I log in regularly, is like the algorithm decides to send me traffic only at the times I am more constantly online, but may be just an illusion. outside of hours, like evenings or late in nights is realy hit and miss for me, very often I sit in a graveyard in late evenings. Now day time workk, can achieve my low goals, middle goals more often than not. Gutted is so many tech issues and so unreliable this site for weeks now, had to get a back up site now.
