@lolahjamieson - I'm still waiting, but I REALLY (!) hope it's not going to take 2 months.
EDIT: How long did you wait?

STREAMATE IS SWAMPED WITH NEW APPLICATIONS
I think there is a separate thread for the new sign ups
2 months sounds about right unless you sign under a studio. They tend to serve the studios first and everyone else waits in line

so when does the summer swamp of new models cool off and things go back to normal?

Yes, but I keep reading plenty of posts saying that if you send an email to either Liz or Vanessa you usually get approved in a matter of days. Plus, I don't believe it is *that* swamped that it justifies waiting 2 months. There's a huge amount of new models joining MFC every single day and it usually takes no more than two days being approved.

well the ppl approving the new models on MFC arent the same ppl approving new models for SM every site is different and do things differently. Generally MFC model support is FAR better then SM and get shit done faster then SM. Its the nature of the beast.

From the post here on SW , yes it will take time.
Also putting old models on the back burner to approve new models.
There are a ton of SM studios that also hire models and they have to go through SM.
SM is not MFC. They are the definition of water and oil. Two different ballparks and operated 100% different.
If there is anything on the application NOT CORRECT, NOT LEGIBLE etc the that makes the wait even longer. There are models resubmitting apps etc.
this is just the beginning process and it seems to be a painful wait for new models.
I would throw "justify" on the back burner and wait to see what happens when you are a model on SM and see what hoops you may have to go through to get certain things.

Well, thanks, I guess. I think you got the wrong idea from my posts, judging by the tone of yours. I didn't mean to come off as anything negative (?) and I obviously respect the old models on SM (why wouldn't I?). I just want to get approved, naturally.
temptingmodel
05-27-2013, 01:59 PM
no no no , Im not being mean at all
sorry if I came off that way.
I used upper case bc some models do not realize that a simple glitch like a signature on all pages can mess up the whole process.
STREAMATE IS SWAMPED WITH NEW APPLICATIONS <-- I posted this bc I am a model there, been there for years. I had a question about something and this is what they sent to me. Just now I was looking for the email to show how they respond about things.
edit to say, Nina did not come off as negative at all IMO

ok, here it is , found the email.
I had a question about my club. Nothing about approving anything , it was a whole different subject BUT here is the copy and paste they are sending new apps.
Hello,
We're working on approvals - we are a bit delayed but are steadily opening accounts. Please be sure documents, profiles and bio pictures are all uploaded properly.
We are approving accounts in order from the date they were created. Please remain patient and we will review all accounts soon.
Thank you.
This kinda shows what you are working with. My docs have been in for years and I stream daily. They clearly had me mixed up with a new model application.

its because they have monkeys running model support and skim the emails looking for keywords so they can copy and paste a generic email. sad but what can ya do when for many models without them the bills aren't paid

OK, I know the timing is completely bizarre, but - I just got approved! :O
However... it seems like Liz ignored my request for my rates to be raised to a maximum of $5.99 (it's still $4.99), so I really don't know what to do now.
Would you guys recommend re-asking her, or contacting Vanessa (along with asking for a break button and a static profile picture)?
Whoa, that's really surprising.

Im not a "mean girl" by any means and definitely not to other models. I have had my share of mean girls and they suck.
sometimes I word things awkward. I openly admit that I can easily be misunderstood.
I only pick on "trolls" and I suck at that. :)
temptingmodel
05-27-2013, 02:26 PM
now what they are looking for is you to get online and grab clients. when they see you pulling in money they will raise your rates.
Try emailing regular support, they are more relaxed on raising the rates. A lot of girls raised rates to a extreme amount and that caused customers to not purchase shows. They are looking for the model to actually perform.

my max was only raised to like 7 or 8 bucks when i wanted 15 before i even got stared with my solo account (my first account was a studio). they said it was because i didn't meet the criteria for it. I wanted it just to have it so im ok with the fact that they wont right now

@Snowy0Star - well, I only asked for $5.99. Sent an email to "regular" support now, let's see how it goes.
Also - I just noticed I don't have the block sessions option in my profile. Is it something you only "earn" after working for a while?
EDIT: How can I get a view of how my public profile looks like to others?

Good for you,I'm gonna email support as well now bc I haven't had any approved since October either - Apparently Oct was the last mth they stopped approving them across the board and started focusing on tags instead (since several ladies,myself included,have said their last comments were dated in Oct AND I've also looked around SM and noticed a bunch of models with their most recent comments being from Oct '12 as well)
BTW,thank you @Tempting for making the point about them shifting their focus to tags and for telling us what support said when you inquired about your comments..
Thank you ever so much SM staff for trashing one of the only gifts my customers can actually give back to me...well,besides all ze moneyzzz :D
I'm sure comments probably do not matter to *some* models,and that's cool,I def get it- it doesn't raise placement,give you an extra cut or land a big purdy package from Amazon in your mailbox but I LOVE mine dammit!
They make me genuinely smile and glow - they're like little rays of sunshine that,every so often,peek through an eery green sky full of ominous,black,rotating clouds.Like lil colorful,festive,yummy sprinkles scattered all over the top of a shit-flavored ice cream cone (Ok,so I may have exaggerated a tiiiny bit there,I still <3 SM,but I got my point across nonetheless)
Plus, I'm the type of person that reviews the ever living shit out of an expensive product or service before I invest money in it,so I can't blame my custies for doing the same!Right now,I'm sure to an outsider/newcomer, it looks like I initially hit the site in August with guns a-blazin',tits a-wavin',slayin' mofo's with my cam-prowess,making them cum so hard they were shooting out monitors like a bad,porn-style rendition of "Elvis vs his TV",and then I just abruptly tanked into "EPIC FAIL" status after Oct. :-\ Not cool SM...NOT.COOL.

I had no pledges, kept trying eventually it cancelled but but was still doing the countdown to cancel, finally I managed to change but now it's telling me I may not do a gold show right now! WTF!!! I have never seen this before. Keep trying but keep getting the same thing. Anyone else?

This is a question for the ones who've been on SM for a while like a year or more.
Do you eventually make "friends" with regulars like they talk with u and have real convos i see pretty much all the models on the front page talk and have convos like the guys have a report with the model its a very MFC vibe in their room. Like the biggest problem I'm having with camming right now is my personality is made for the token sites i feel - i like talking and hanging out showing off and stuff and i get so irked so fast on MFC and CB because they wont tip or talk and SM is the site that makes me money so i work but its so hi hru yes i do that exclusive only no i dont do that kick a freeloader ban a fucktard get taken pvt clothes off dildo in show over put clothes back on rinse and repeat. A few pages back me and jane and sarah were talking about this is a fairy new thing and even if ur doing everything right in freechat its like pulling teeth to get them to talk and they eventually leave most of the time because were 'boring'. I enjoy camming but i dont enjoy flirting to brick walls

Sorry if this was mentioned in this thread earlier but I had no idea how to search for it. If I want a guy to appear on cam with me do I need to make a couples account or can he get approved to appear on my solo female account?
kittykrane
05-28-2013, 11:39 AM
^ you should be able to just submit the proper paperwork for him to prove he is legal age and he can appear on your solo account from time to time; at least that's what I was told. You could also do the couples account, and only use it when you are both together...

I have some old regulars but we don't shoot the breeze much..most of mine are all business when they come on the site. I'm sure they appreciate being recognized/called out in a roomful of guys though.
