In general response to the copyright violation/band tee post -- I honestly would just not bother asking about things like this unless you actually find yourself with a warning/suspension... Like Lintilla said on a previous page, a lot of times it totally comes down to what support person you ask, and in my experience some of them just completely talk out of their ass with zero reference to anything listed in the rules. I basically don't trust support anymore and if I really need to know something, I ask Liz. But I also don't want to bug her with a bunch of hypothetical questions.
Unless it's a no tolerance rule which they have made extremely clear about and you should 100% not test your luck, my mentality otherwise is "ask for forgiveness not permission" when it comes to basically anything else you're unsure of. There is _nothing_ about band tees or copyrighted music in the FAQ or Code of Conduct, and SM has been continually shoving both of those pages in our face lately to be sure we are all fully aware of the rules. So I'd say there is an extremely low chance of getting suspended for something that literally is not listed in their rules anywhere. And if you do, you should fight it because that rule was not made clear at all.
Also, by asking support and bringing attention to it, I worry that now they'll be randomly watching out for it more and suspending girls inconsistently -- and it may make them more likely to arbitrarily tack it onto the rules. I assume it's inevitable that copyrighted music on stream will be a punishable offense some day, but I'd really like to hold off on Streamate making that happen as long as possible.
before i order any new costumes/outfits i actually have sent them to liz for approval.
I am in the "better safe than sorry " crowd.
even 1 time she said "that should be ok"
that didnt sound certain enough so even though i had spent $60 on something. it just sits in my cam room unused. "should be" didnt sound safe to me.
i dont think there is anything wrong with trying to protect our livelihood.
sm has a great team, just ask them about whatever you need, but ofcourse be respectful of liz's time. i shudder to think of how many emails she gets on the daily.

*Trigger Warning* y’all heads up about this creep going around. He came in my room today and wanted a panty fashion show. He was very polite and sweet at first but before long I realized he was heading in a C**** Pornography direction. I reported and blocked but I wanted to give y’all a heads up if you see him. He worked hard to reel me in. He’s a real predator for sure: name JohnJClark account number: 107537389
thank you for telling us! ill block him!

Why would any outfits even be against the rules? Are you saying you were worried about copyright violation specifically? Have you ever had them reject one? Just curious what it was and if it was something obviously against a known rule.
Support is part of SMs "team" and they are unreliable inconsistent apes. I once asked general support about allowing a customer to control a lovense toy and they said "no that is not allowed because it is not a Streamate-branded toy." Like wtf were they even on about? No such thing as an SM branded toy. So i had to forward that message to Liz where i also noted their support needs to be better trained on the rules. Her response was simply "yes its fine."
In this new era of the rules being way more strict their team (liz included) shouldnt be giving out unclear answers about what is and isnt allowed. I totally understand the "better safe than sorry" sentiment and reaching out for clarification, but it really is only worthwhile if the information we're receiving is actually accurate. If something is in fact against the rules it needs to be easy to understand and updated on their various new rule pages. It doesnt do anyone any good if one random model receives info from support (like the supposed band tee rule) and no one else is officially informed.

Always remember until it changes, SM is not our boss. We are not employees. Any response will be coming from the companies best interest, not them helping you out.
Read what you sign and look out for yourself when it comes to your ability to make money. Think like a creepy guy or nosey model when presenting yourself.

It’s only the point if you recorded her saying that on your phone otherwise there is no proof especially considering she was not taken for a show. Just let her be she will be eventually caught. It’s not actually our job to do it’s theirs .

When it comes to lush/vibe buzzes do you guys set your prices low or high?
I had someone endlessly buzzing me and "promising" to take me excl the other day, it ended up genuinely annoying me bc it was just too stimulation. (These were all 1 gold buzzes, so didn't even vaguely hit what I'd make in a quick show). I ended up blocking him but now I'm thinking I should raise the price for my vibe. Idm some moaning in free chat etc but I'm not trying to put on a show for men trying to game the system :/
Tldr: I want more gold! Do you have an expensive lush/tip menu?

Do what you think is best. However I would not.
Even I found not my kind of RP frankly I really can not deal with this kind of, and obviously is AGAINST sm rules (grateful). She is maybe newbie? She doesn't know... lol I know she clicks the t&c all time when log in..many they don'tread (I know that it's not responsible to do so)...in rush, busy, overwhelmed...young mistake etc
I would advice here politely or find a way to let her know. She will probably change her behaviour.
And yes report the guy.
imo
still just my opinion.

She doesn't know... lol
She knows, since she says she can't write about it, just do it verbally.
On the other hand, to respond to @MsJess, I don't think it's our job to report fellow models about how they run their room. Unless they really do something really harmful or dangerous. Other than that, she would eventually get caught and have her ass banned anyway. I couldn't care less about those who break rules for extra $$. There are tons of forums, social media groups, threads, even books that teach you how to make money as a cam model. If they are so desperate to do something against the rules, instead of going the "hard way" to build a high quality clientele and make $$ on long term, it's their problem. They are losing their place on site, not me. With or without their presence, I know very well about what clients I am looking for and how I run my own business and their clients aren't my target anyway.
For example, we could say that "oooh, look at that model she shows her pussy in freechat altough it's against the rules". We don't want her clients. What she atracts is a cheap crowd and predators, not high quality clients. So, why would we care?
Reporting clients, yes. All day long, tho.

Often this week when I do finally get a show it's 1-2 min long. Have I gotten really shit at this suddenly? Why is it so quiet for me and nobody is talking to me? Am I now hideous? Why am I getting no traffic this week while plenty are doing just fine? I'm so bloody bored!

Nope. It's been the same for me. I'm even stalling more than ever and shows at most are 4-7 min with most 2.5 min. Yeah, sucks. It's hard AF to do 7-8 hrs when there's hardly anyone coming in and of those that do come in 1 in 10 say hello, yet don't do a show. This shit is taking tits of steel right now.
I went back through camming sucks and STFO threads to see how bad it was for me and sure enough, during this time I was like WTEntireFUCK lololll.

Ive also had very short shows and slow traffic. My day is usually saved by a few random guys (even my regs seem to have less time) randomly during my shifts. I started taking small 5 min breaks and one longer one, so I’d have a better chance of not missing my loaded perv.

I don't know what the UTC time zone is--I even googled it and got more confused....someone HALP--but I experienced the same thing yesterday; was on and it was busy and did good for 2 hours then hit a wall around dinner time. I remember back during either Nov or Dec when we had multiple contests complaining on here because day after day everything would just halt around like 5pm and I couldn't seem to make decent money after that. Idk if it's sports or what, I have no clue about anything sports-related. I just logged on for ten minutes and had hardly any traffic so I bounced.
