Thaaaank you! I 've been fighting trying to fit my pics to a certain size, it was...not fun ;D
I tried to wait until they yank that 10$ limit up, but I lost my patience lol.
Also, if you open Media Manager, they show all free album pics with a 0.00 price next to them, and there is a number showing that 0 been sold. (if you have free pics on your SM page) Check it out, maybe Activity feed sales show up there?
how big are your photos? i just upload mine straight from my phone and they are huge- just checked and most are 4032 x 3024pixels. unless your photos are bigger than that it seems strange that they are asking you to resize.
also nothing shows in my media manager, i don't have any free pics. activity feed sales display as video sales for me in the normal earnings report (i have no videos) :shrug:

I am very upset, I woke up my account this morning and I couldn't access it. I then checked my email and they closed my account because non authorised perosons appeared on camera. Wtf?! I mean, I have no kids, no pets, my partner is never ever in the same room as me when I am working and I am exclusively on streamate and my only source of income. Boleyn models contacted Liz on my behalf and I have been told they will review my account 1 to 3 days! So unfair, cannot relax at all until I know what is happening. The only thing I can think of is that on Saturday night I had an exclusive where my regular asked me to watch porn on pornhub and point the camera at the porn movie I been watching, but surely that cannot be a reason to just close my account just like this? Never been suspended previously, never a charge back. Closed account just like that, like snapping fingers? Are you kidding me streamate?! Is my only source of income.
omg i am so terrified after reading this. i am so worried for you.
i know how much you put into sm , how hard you work on there,
i really hope you get your account back
there are literally so many rules , so many exceptions so many gray areas, NOTHING is clear cut, nothing is explained clearly
it should be YES NO YES NO.
like
show porn on cam--- yes, no
daddy word NO and no one can have usernames of banned words ect.
findom yes no,
we are responsible for clients actions yes no yes no and examples,
it should be in an easy to access place (like mfc has a wiki, and so does soda)
words that are no allowed clearly listed and reasons why
imagine if you were just a model on your own and never read this thread, never heard of liz, ect. imagine how many rules you would break just because it was unclear.
we should report the following---
ect ect.
with examples that are valid . so we
a clear list would be very helpful!
this topic has come up again and again in this thread, but at the end of the day we need clear guidance from the site.
so we can protect our incomes.
it is all of these gray areas and the fact that there is no wiki page or clear explanation from sm that puts all of our jobs at risk ladies.
you should be scared. i know i am .
i know deliverylady is scared.
i hope her loyalty to sm rewards/exempts her from a small error that anyone could have made.

I have received email from Liz and with Boleyn speaking to her on my behalf she did reinstate my account with a 3 days suspension as I didn't do the wrong with a malicious intent. It was the damn porn!!! I can go back to work only on Friday at the earliest. I will have to revisit a lot of my regulars and give the boot to a good chunk of them and be off the Submissive category etc because does attract different clientele. Thank you for trying to boost my morale and support!

I found I had to wait, then go looking in pending, do the description, box ticking stuff, set price then submit. Took a while for me to figure it out and a few times thought it hadn't uploaded then several attempts appeared.

Streamate: we have a bunch of rules and if they are broken you will be suspended or banned. fair?
models: yes. fair.
Streamate: If something bad is requested you should protect yourself by reporting the member.
models: ok, fair. Can we have more tools for reporting?
It would be cool if we could have better options on the report sheet. Maybe a drop down for 'requesting banned stuff'. I am sure a lot of banned activities are unreported as technically they do not fit into any of the available options. Sure 'member is abusive' is pretty catch all but it isn't as clear as it could be.
And it would make reporting easier if we had a way to click on the offending message and pull up details if they just bounce out of the room after sending their message. Taking screenshots and then emailing support is kinda long.
Even better would be if every visitor stayed on the recently left guests list, no matter how long they were in the room for. Especially so if they typed something and ran. There are so many of these that know the way to avoid being reported is to paste and run. I doubt there is any model who hasn't had the "join my telegram group" russian dude and he never sticks around longer than 2 seconds or the guys that just paste their contact details and bounce.
And when we pull up a customers info, it would be great to see a history of their usernames so we can keep better track of who had asked for shady activities before, been told no, been reported and then come back and start a show to push boundaries anyway under a different name 2 minutes later.
And if a word is banned by chat filters, eg f*****t, these shouldn't be allowed as usernames. There could be a separate report system to just drop a flag on an offensive name. I used the F slur as an example as I have seen it in a bunch of usernames even this week, and it isn't disguised in any way so it isn't getting filtered at all. I know it is hard to have a database of every possible iteration of an offensive name, but use us as a tool to help weed them out. I'd be happy to punch a button saying this name is offensive when its swapped letters for numbers or spelled weirdly.
How about a site standard quick response button? Like the ones we write ourselves but more formal and the same for everyone. We hit it and it pastes out some generic response like "the activity or language you have requested is against the terms and conditions of the website. Any further attempts to continue this line of enquiry will result in your account receiving a strike" or something along those lines.
anyone got any other suggestions?

I think it is deliberately complicated to report members. They don't have the support facilities to deal with normal levels of communication so if we could easily report members I think they might explode. I do wonder what the fuck they spend the 65 / 70% on that they take from us.

10-05-2021, 05:53 AM
If I'm honest though, I couldn't give two shits about what they actually do with the reports. Let the guys roam free on the site, they might spend a dollar one day who knows. I just want a box ticked somewhere on the depths of their databases to say that I am in the clear and pressed a button lol.

LMFAO I know right?!?!?!?! I am slowly building up my video library but it is agonizing. I've gone back and forth with support so much that I gave up. Support even refused to upload my videos FOR ME on a Google drive link. I am just uploading them 1 by 1 over time...

hey errryone, my banner showed up too today disappeared as all you were saying... sorry to the girl who got cut out without warning... i have to say it happened to me about 3 mos ago... just got email my account has been closed.... emailed liz etc and found out i sent out some mass DMCA notice with Branditscan and it must have been SM affiliate... and the CLOSED MY account without no email, nothing... 9 yrs on site and they just closed it.... so I very much feel your pain and can completely understand how you feel - after i talked to liz and vanessa I was able to get my account back. so i hope all will be good and it will get fixed!!!
and I just submitted feedback about that weird resizing thing that happens - sometimes several times a minute tho... before i thought it was when they were checking on us or some ish lol but its so often idk ... i hate it its so annoying LOL i notice is every damn time LOL
i was def freaking out w the banner - so thanks for everyone updating about it!
Is your CPU going up n up longer you stream? I have to restart every hour or so - when I log on - it starts at 20% and usually around 1hr 20 mins my cpu is at 100 ... anyone having same issue?
I use BrandItScan too. What affiliate is it???!!!

725x544 lol
They did not ask me to resize. I just saw a post here where someone said their pics were cropped, so I messaged the support asking them about the best picture sizes for Activity Feed, in advance. They gave me that example. Where can I watch them? I don't know how to check out the pics I uploaded. Mine were just approved yesterday and purchased. It showed like the video purchased though, not activity feed.

I just wanted to thank all of the models on here for some inspiration on something. Normally I never care if someone takes me for only 60-90 seconds. I always thought "Money is money" but I saw so many models on here saying "I hate it when a guy takes me for only a minute and it kills my traffic."
I never thought about that. So I started making notes on clients and called them "minute men". Sure enough, I had a regular come into my room and I saw his notes were THREE TIMES only a minute long shows.
I was getting tips rolling in with my lovense and he said he wanted to play again, I told him "You know, you only take me for barely a minute each time just to show your blown load to me and then you leave. You kill my traffic that I have to work up all over again. It's rude to take a model for only a minute and kill her traffic."
He said he was sorry and sure enough ended up only tipping $10 into a gold show because that was "all he had".
I ended up making almost $40 in tips when he wanted to take me private and I only would have earned $3.50 with him.
So thank you ladies

Here's a strange one. I often notice that some of the more "famous" girls (squirting dildo) use their biopic instead of taking a snapshot before starting a session.
So I emailed our UK local support and asked why this is, seeing as though we HAVE TO do this every 24 hours. Here is the reply.
"As for the biopic, the rules are the same for all models. All models need to take a snapshot before streaming, but some, choose to take the snapshot of another photo of themselves."
What a load of crock. How the f do you manage to take a snapshot of your bio pic and use that?
I would love to use my biopic instead of having to take snapshot.
I sense different rules at play here.

You can use a software to do it: splitcam or similar, I've known this since the snapshot feature started and that's how these girls do it, no biggie, if you don't know how it doesn't mean rules are different for you ;)
