I stopped offering ALL roleplay months ago. No way. All I need is some guy saying "mommy" just once and I'm banned for it. I don't trust saying "step this or that" the member won't do that in an exclusive. It ALWAYS turns into "mommy"
It's not fun anymore.
Nope!
And I mean ALL roleplay.
I have guys that come into my room and all they say is "Mommy". WHY??? And how is that allowed??? They definitely mean it in an incestual way and there's nothing you can say or do to convince me otherwise. I auto ban and report for that. And I personally hate roleplays, so the only thing that these rules are doing is making it easier for me to say no.

I think it's just the typical end of the month slowdown it'll be back up to normal very soon.
So did anybody get to connect to the tea time conference call?
It would not surprise me if they had tech issues with that too and couldnt even do it LOL

Yes, I attended it.
No tech issues. It ran smooth as silk.
Now, if they could only get the site to run like that, we'd be happy.

I am not even a domme but I think mommy dommes can use those terms and perform within the site guidelines without it truly falling into incest. It is about the power balance and what those terms represent.
Use and abuse are very different things to me. Never do I allow abuse, but I tell them to use me all the time and never feel these rapey vibes from the majority of people who enjoy that term. The ones that do are blocked and reported.
Nor do I feel I am close to breaking rules using those types of terms.
There are so many role-plays that could go wrong, I nip it in the bud the second I sense it going off track. I just enjoy the creativity too much to close off role play entirely.

I am just not going to do RP anymore. I know this specifically is addressing taboos, but I have guys that like “Mommy Mistress “ stuff— which I stopped doing even though it **should ** fit their standards. It’s just that there is no way to be like “oh fuck yes not blood related Daddy!” “Or stroke it for not your actual Momma you little but legal aged perv” Haha
too risky.
Same for “rape” because guys like to “use their slut” or use language that sounds lines hardcore sex/bdsm. It borderlines CNC or rape fantasy.
I reached out about a bunch of these sort of issues recently (that I may have got to close to), and they responded in a way that sounded positive. Hope they don’t end up banning me from past stuff. I firmly believe it is better to just avoid it all together now. I won’t even do most humiliation now because of how often guys want to hear borderline queer slurs.
I really wouldn't lose sleep over getting banned for past stuff. They're banning people who are actively continuing to break the rules; I haven't heard of a case where they pulled up an old show and used past behavior as a reason to ban someone.
To each their own and I do agree that just avoiding all roleplay is the simplest way to go, but I will say from my experience I have continued using Daddy with no issues or fear of getting banned. It's such a common word used on SM and so many guys just have it in their username. I'm not going to instantly block all of them for that; that's a lot of potentially lost customers/money. And maybe this isn't the case for everyone, but 99% of guys in my room never try to swing "Daddy" in an incestuous or underage way. They just want to hear Daddy the same way you'd use the word Sir in a dom/sub or power dynamic context, which is very much within the rules.
Also support confirmed to me that you wouldn't get in trouble for telling the guys what the rules are. So I basically explain at the beginning of a show, "I'll address you as Daddy as long as there is no suggestion of incest or underage play - and if there is you will be instantly blocked" and then we proceed. No one has had an issue with this or tried to turn it into something noncompliant mid-show. I also frequently get called "good girl" while using the word "Daddy" and support had no issue with this. It's really not as bad as some are making it out to be, like the guy needing to say "that's my good legal-aged little woman" in order for it to be compliant (lol).
As for CNC/rape concerns in BDSM-centric shows, I feel like as long as you are not using the literal terms "rape", and you are not telling them "no," "stop," or "I don't want it", then there's no reason consensually "abusive" language like "use me daddy, treat me like a little slut, etc" should be a concern. You can use a lot of hardcore language without it being misconstrued as non-consent.
I do mostly vanilla shows but many of them have a slight submissive/kinky twist to them, and I also do full on BDSM shows with a select handful of respectful dominant guys who never try to push my boundaries or the site rules. I refuse to only do straight up vanilla and lose all of that potential kinky income when I am confident what I'm doing is not breaking any rules.

I agree, I started hating roleplay because everyone wanted step sis and it just became annoying to me. Now I tell guys who ask about roleplay that I only do certain ones that I like, I straight up tell them that step play is overdone and generic at this point and I don't really enjoy it because thats how I genuinely feel. But because I stay open to certain roleplays I'll get fun ones from time to time. For example I have a reg who just wants me to roleplay divorcing him and leaving him for his best friend, which is a blast lol. And when I am asked what my favorite roleplay is, I tell them cuckolding. That answer gets me new cuck custies from time to time.

I randomly get the red limitation thing too but will still be streaming at a high resolution. What does your bitrate say?
if only they would send these rule reminders to the customers for once...
Do we know that they don't? The chat box clearly and constantly states to not share their contact info with us and yet guys still do it all the time, let alone all of the other ToS that they have always loved to violate, and let alone all of the guys who ask for stuff that is ILLEGAL. So them still breaking the new rules to me is in no way indicative of them not receiving them. And as paranoid as SM is being I find it hard to believe that they're not updating the dudes.
On another note, I'm wondering if we don't have to be so ban happy? In their email and in their FAQ they don't say that we have to block violators:
If these acts are requested, protect yourself by immediately and clearly refusing, then report the member (hover over the folder icon next to their name in chat and click the "Report" button). During an investigation, that report is a positive sign that you are helping us keep this content off the site.
stop the scene and report them (hover over the folder icon next to their name in chat and click the “Report” button). During an investigation, that report is a positive sign that you are helping us keep this content off the site.
It just says to refuse them and report, not block. Obviously a dude refusing to stop would be block-worthy

So them still breaking the new rules to me is in no way indicative of them not receiving them. And as paranoid as SM is being I find it hard to believe that they're not updating the dudes.
I have asked several of my trusted regs/customers if they have gotten any rule-related updates or if they have a new FAQ page or anything of the sort, and they all have said no.
I suppose they could all be lying to me or just not seeing messages or updates from SM but I kind of doubt it.
Edit: And if a bunch of guys who frequently use the site are in fact missing some kind of update message, then it sounds like SM needs to do way better in that regard.
I'm not necessarily saying the best solution is for SM to message the customers as I'm sure plenty of guys never check their inbox. But SM should be doing *something* to emphasize to users that certain things on SM are now considered "no tolerance" acts. The rules technically haven't changed and all of these things have always been against the rules, but lots of models and users have done these roleplays for years and have flown under the radar until now. So there's no reason for customers to suddenly change their behavior unless the new "no tolerance" aspect is brought to their attention.
Frankly I think logged-in users should have to check some "I understand the site rules" boxes before getting to chat in a model's room, like how the models have to do before we stream.
And yes obviously plenty of guys will continue to be assholes and completely disregard the rules. But I'd like to think there are good guys out there would appreciate this info and actually respect the rules if they were made aware of them. Especially new guys that don't know any better.

I feel the new email really confirms the rules for strep role plays. i will follow them to a T.
I wont be worried about my account I will cut and paste the rules into the chat ect. whatever it takes.
to be honest i have been using these rules for the past year and every single client has been respecting whatever i ask of them.
its all about being firm and tone.
it can be done ladies.
even if you are a submissive type.

Here's a weird one. Sometimes if a guy comes in that I have written a note about to block and I hover over his name, I can't do anything, can't block or kick.I could go down the screen and do it with anyone else, it's only ones that I have written a note about.
Have I inadvertently done something to make them invincible when making a note?

i was thinking that to paste and copy rules. i am not sure if there is an automatic banned word detector! am i paranoid? or how they want to control that no rule is broke? a random thing? however copying there all word if it is not an human to check that they maybe block your streaming? then ofc you ll have your profile back but lol.... so my 2 cents
i would check w them if it is okay to do so

I use Google Chrome and keep my camming tab minimized so it only covers half of my computer screen, and I have this same issue. When I make my tab full screen I am then able to hover over their name and block. I hope this helps!

They've added Italian translation, does this mean Italian will be translated into English in the chat box? If so this is brilliant I've had Italian, also French visitors sometimes I Google the translation but it's not conducive to being 'in the room' if you know what I mean.
If this is extended to other languages it could be really good.
Your post got lost in the craziness of the forum there I think. Unfortunately no SM has simply added Italian to the list of languages that we can access the site in, so Italian models can now have their dashboard etc. in their own language.
Your suggestion would be an awesome feature to have though!

^what happened to the days where 15-20+ ppl came into the room *instantly*? i remember one random weekday afternoon last summer i had 30+ ppl enter at once w/ hundreds of potentials. it was crazy. a regular shift for me would get 10-15 ppl in the room at once, shuffling in and out. or at least 5 on a slow day.
this week it’s a slow ass trickle of not even 1 dude coming in per minute, my space heater blasting away is the only thing keeping me conscious

interesting that you do Mommy Domme and yet have that mentality about Daddy... in my experience almost every guy who calls themselves Daddy are using it in the same context as Mommy Domme, i.e. dom/sub power play - not incest.
(i do agree with you on just not bothering with step roleplays though. if the customer is ultimately seeking incest RP, he is inevitably going to slip up or just not care about using step-family language.)

for me i noticed traffic started to really go downhill after those halloween contests and it’s been consistently low ever since. occasionally i’ll get decent traffic where a bunch enter the chat instantly, but those times are few and far between. even sundays stopped having good traffic and those were my reliably busiest days. i’ve only worked one sunday this month and for maybe an hour, so hopefully tomorrow will be be a good one!
