Is terrible for me also and i am in the BBW category as well, i just looked up and saw the announcement for Halloween contest.
Contests are always bad for me, my earnings are affected severely, sorry u have a rough time on SM also, at least i am not alone in this, i wish us both good luck getting out of the slump, kisses

is it?? i had no idea, why is it frowned upon?
They had a discussion about it on AmberCutie Forum. I guess it's because, from the member's perspective, when a model has music playing playing from the same computer that she's streaming on, it can make the audio sound bad on the member's end (Even though it sounds fine to us)? I had never even realized that until they had that discussion. For years I'd been playing music from the same laptop I cammed on, and didn't think it was a problem.

this has actually been on my mind. I think it is only if they don’t have headphones set up, same feedback loop that can happen on c2c w/o headphones. Who knows maybe my music always sounds like screeching whales, but I get lots of compliments on songs I am playing, and as long as I keep the volume in check people understand me. So it must sound ok to some.

I was browsing cams today and I think its because they can't hear the model if the music is too close to the mic. There were some people I couldn't hear at all over the music that wasn't even loud enough for me to really make out. (or maybe their whole setup was too quiet lol)

i think the sound is only bad if the model is using built-in speakers + internal mic, it muffles their voice. an external mic fixes this

sunday was very good but tonight is trash in comparison so far (signing off after 57mins). sundays & mondays are my biggest days so i am annoyed that there is barely any traffic right now ugh.

That's probably it. All I know is that after seeing that discussion, I've been playing YouTube music on my cell (which I keep far away from my laptop), and use my Logitech Brio mic on the OBS encoder. But I would prefer to go back to my old way of doing it...just open another tab in Google Chrome to play YouTube. That way, I can turn off the Wi-Fi on my phone, and that's one less device using the Wi-Fi.

2. No copywritten music can be played in your room (if you have Apple Music, buy a song on iTunes, pay for Spotify, etc. no you don't have the rights to it)
[...]
Save yourself the headache. I listen to whatever I want in 1 Bluetooth Air Pod covered up by my hair.
these statements suggest you have a definitive statement from streamate. are the rest of us missing something in our TOS or did you get any direct info? otherwise your secondary hearsay just sounds like fearful BS to me. just because some model says she got suspended for a thing doesn't mean we know the whole story. maybe she broke a rule while playing a song, for example. i play all sorts of music via spotify every night and have for almost eight years straight and have never gotten any type or warning or ban.
i realize the rules are changing in a lot of ways, but we haven't gotten any direct word about this copyrighted music issue and i would think it's a pretty specific thing to inform models about considering how popular playing music is. it just comes off as fear mongering. you're making a lot of people here get tense and freak out for something that some models (not even yourself) supposedly got in trouble for. it's hearsay nonsense IMO until i see a legit TOS change/statement from streamate.
also your last statement about just "listening to what you want in headphones" really misses the point. a lot of guys like when girls are actively dancing to the music they are playing. having tunes in your ears while the guys hear silence looks boring or awkward.
i will comply with any new SM music/copyright rule if that ends up being the case but until then i will continue bumping my tunes until we get any straightforward info.

Same here, if I got any kind of warning or ban that mentioned music I would just direct them back to the handbook that I linked in an earlier post which specifically tells us to play music when we stream. I'll go any way the wind blows when it comes to following old rules, and adapting to new ones.
The only songs that might (in a huge stretch of the imagination) get someone banned are maybe songs about already banned topics? I know theres a bunch of songs that are all about onlyfans and say the word like 50 times so I can see that being I interpreted as rule bending, the same as when they can take issue with cushions in the shape of the Twitter logo on display in the stream etc.

I personally don't think those rules are strict at all. Streamate is still one of the most laidback sites. There are hoes that are doing way, way too much so Streamate is now saying 'Here are the new policies so step your pussy down a few notches or else...!'.Yes but where? I don't see anything in the T&Cs about these things.
liquidsilk
10-26-2021, 03:34 AM
Where are these new rules listed?
It might be word from studios, like when the verification info was made clearer for some models from studio owners. They might be going harder than required covering every possible base to avoid any of their models losing their accounts.

Its because the rules she listed are the rules for top spot Gold Shows, although I have no idea if they still do them? Can anybody enlighten me?

When new rules are posted it would be nice to know where the rules come from
It can be a forum, a studio but it needs to be posted where these rules come from. I can’t stress that enough.
A lot of us are Indy models and when rules are postedmany of us will hit up support, Liz and whoever else we know to confirm and then told to stay off stripperweb bc the information is wrong.
Stripperweb has a lot of good information too.
Every model has the same dashboard.
(Can someone tell me if we have the priority banner or not?
My new account doesn’t have one)
ETA I read backwards and did see more posts on this subject but I guess it can’t be stressed enough to please post links ;)
Lol :)

Right Erika, a link please. I just reread all news including COD/TOS and nothing about music. I play music until my shows where I turn it off unless the member wants music. All free chat has music streamed from Amazon Music Unlimited.

I had a few tags disappear but only the ones that had 1 vote for it
it’s easy for me to recognize bc the tags were there until yesterday

I noticed yesterday all but a handful of tags are missing from my profile also. I think I'm even missing a bunch that had been tagged multiple times. Hopefully just a glitch bc I can still see them when i go through my dashboard. I remember quite a few other models having this issue recently

I just counted I am down to 21 out of the 140 that were previously visible.
It looks cleaner, but tags are a main way we get found by new clients. They may have cleared any problematic tags, and will have to check all the new ones much more intensely

Yeah, tags under 3 were removed from the page, but you can still show up under tags if you have them. I'm still showing up under a lot of popular tags that had less than 3 on my tag list.

this is so annoying. I am only showing 4 tags when I view myself on SM. At least people can still find us through tags that aren't visible but just seems like a pointless change.

i noticed the tag/profile glitch earlier, it only showed tags that had more than three. but it's back to normal now.
however i still have the issue of not being able to see any tags from my dashboard/tag page. it just says 0 so i can't block/remove any.
i asked tech support about this last week and their response was
"Tags are not missing from your profile and no information has been lost. We temporarily disabled the ability to view and hide tags from the performer dashboard only. If you view your profile from the customer side, you will see your tags are still there.
We have some more urgent work in progress, but we plan to restore tags in the performer dashboard as soon as we can! We appreciate your patience and understanding."

Regular customer I had blocked on the past was asking if I still had his phone number that I never had.
He goes exclusive bc that’s where he thinks we talk about contact info.
He asks again I say the rules again.
This went on for a while.
Luckily I record my shows and have proof what was said on my end.
Folder on computer: sm rule breakers abd save the show as their screen name and date.
On the drop down I wish there was a extra box to tick to alert smsupport that they break our rules.
Reporting a member as abusive is reporting a troll IMO
I had to have support block him for me so I have to write in for that request
He did go to my onlyfans and drop his number… blocked there as well.
FFS whyyyyy do they not stop??!!! I know why but still… I fuckn hate these guys. If I could spit nails in their eyeball my day would be the best day ever.
I always say I’m lazy, tf I’m going to meet you for? Fuckn work hard for what? To fuck you? Phhhh
They think that shit is easy money. Gtfoh with that bullshit.
I don’t mind going over the rules in exclusive. Cha ching and block w a report to support

SM is getting more and more strict. In other forums outside of SW, these are the issues models are having:
1. No TV can be displayed like you are watching TV or a movie etc.
2. No copywritten music can be played in your room (if you have Apple Music, buy a song on iTunes, pay for Spotify, etc. no you don't have the rights to it)
3. Don't eat or drink anything on camera with a logo (soda pop, fast food wrappers or cups, etc.)
4. Even wearing clothing with big logos on it are causing violation notifications (VS PINK sweaters, Nike logos, etc.)
Save yourself the headache. I listen to whatever I want in 1 Bluetooth Air Pod covered up by my hair.

We must cover our asses
I recently saw a girl was banned from Streamate permanently because she was doing under age play. She posted her convo on Twitter.. she wanted to have RT but just use the #smglitch and you’ll find her post. Going by what the customer typed it seems like she is going along with it. We don’t know that bc she has no evidence on her side but she didn’t report him.
They pulled her chat from months ago
if she’s guilty or not, it proves we need to have anything and everything questionable in our records as well if we need to defend to ourselves.
