Well I mean, they do one just about every month and it's always either the last or the second-to-last week of the month, so I'm not sure why everyone always acts so surprised whenever there's a contest. They're extremely consistent.
Often on or around public holidays and events.
I would like a bit longer usually there's 48 hours notice because the message arrives in the middle of the night here, I see it in the morning 4 or 5 hours after it's sent end of the US working day.
A few more days notice would be great.

Thus far I've found they're more or less the exact same dates yearly, assuming you still have the announcements from last year you can track when this year's contests are. Some of them shift by a few days but it's pretty much the same

If you click contest results and then show more contests, you can scroll through and see the dates of every historic contest and work from that to anticipate them.

What would be really really cool is if Sm would show what you rank even if you’re not on the leaderboard!! Or even if it’s not for contest like f4f you can always see your rank. Omg I would love that! That way we can see how close we get! I dream of knowing that info for Sm.

Ah but would it worse to be miles away, or worse to be ALMOST there but just miss out? I'm not sure! They do generally show a couple of hundred below the last place though, not sure exactly how many.

It does show you that. When you click on the leaderboard it will tell you right above the top models what rank you are. Or at least they used to do that.

Wtf is up with all the short shows today??? I feel like I'm doing so much work because these guys keep taking me to private and then leaving in 2 minutes! With all the privates I've had, I should have double my current earnings. Aarghhh!!! :banghead:

she's talking about the numbers past the cut off number.
it is annoying not knowing how far off from the top 1500 to get on the leaderboard but at the same time do we really want to know? lol

one of my fav reasons for the contests...the leaderboard. when it's slow, I can tell if it's site wide or just me

Has anyone else noticed that the algorithm is way different lately? For example- when I get on the site on my mobile (not logged in as a custie) I do not see any USA/UK, etc., models but instead a lot of models from many other countries who have never appeared before-- and yes, I checked my regions filter. I do not even see myself or the regulars that are on when I am on and I am mostly on the first page when I stream. When I log in as custie, it is till "different" than it was a few weeks ago----with people I have never seen before. Anyone else ? Try your laptop vs phone and let me know. It is very odd and I am concerned that I might not be seen. Thx.

Im going to check with this contest next week then because I think if your still within a couple hundred of being on the leaderboard it will still you the number. I feel like this is true but Im rarely not on the leaderboard so I might just be mistaking it with your number on the board. Now Im curious though.

Sounds like studios are dominating the login screen then regardless of region filters...hmmmm. Sounds like new contracts.

Down in small print right above the leaderboard photos it does tell if you are not in the top and it adds a couple hundred to…example contest is for 1000 but it’ll say sry you’re not in the top 1500. Or whatever the numbers are. I have notice that before…but IMO it would benefit knowing for example if it’s slow and I’m holding my rank then in fact maybe it’s slow…if I’m diving to the bottom maybe it’s me (wrong time, bad day, tech problems, etc)

Thanks for mentioning that, I thought it was just me! I changed my android phone language to Spanish and for some reason, all of a sudden I was only seeing Columbia based models on the front page. I've since changed my language back to english, but sometimes it would still show non US/UK based models.

I'm trying to give a model good tags, and they aren't showing up her end. I can see them on my end and even did a screen shot.
What could be happening? I've given tags before without fail.

My tags were not showing. Members showed me they did them. I email Liz and they just popped up this last week

I'm going to do my version of the contest so I don't get too stressed out or shattered by week's end...by shifting my hours around and making sure I do get 25 hours. I started scaling my hours back to 20 on live stream a couples week ago to start content creation. I've been doing 4 hours daily 5-6 days per week. This week I'm going to put more hours in on my 3 typically busiest days and keep to 3-4 hours on the other 2-3 days.

It is so strange today. I logged in a few hours ago and all was normal but after my last gold show all my traffic disappeared. Just the Potentials sitting in my room but not a single person in Guest chat. I always have at least 3 or more people in my room at least free loading or talking or something but today its just zero. Everything is Excellent on my end. Im just going to sit here cause I need the hours towards my 25 regardless but Im really weirded out right now!

Sameee, I'm almost 10 hours in. Yesterday was good but today is poppin! You'd think last week was the contest and this was a normal week with how busy its been the past 2 days. Its nice to feel motivated for that bonus, I need the extra money this month so I am happy for the good start to this week. I don't care about placing in the contest, I just want that $100 bonus if I can make it happen!

I don't think I put in enough hours since I started camming again, which is why I'm never placed in the contests lol. It's okay for me because I still hit my goals on and off contest days.
Does sm do contests like how cams website does it? You have to work a certain amount of hours straight within like 30 days, and that's what determines bonuses.

SM never does anything that spans over a whole month like that. they occasionally do bonus days that are contingent upon working a minimum amount of hours over a week or less. for example the last one was a two day bonus, and you had to work at least 10 hours total over those two days to be eligible for a 25% bonus on top of your regular earnings. it's purely a bonus and doesn't include the competitive ranking or extra prizes like a contest does.

I've actually started turning down shows to those who are cheapskates. I have been making notes on minute men and today I told a regular who asked to go exclusive "Listen, you come into my room and you stay for literally 90 seconds each time and then you bail. You kill my traffic and I only make a few bucks off you. I do appreciate your business, but it hurts my hustle on my end. Right now I'm entertaining these nice men who are tipping. From now on if you want a show with me, you tip me $20 in free chat."
He left.
I always give quickies the benefit of the doubt. Maybe a kid came in, their urgent called, doorbell rang with Uber eats, wife came home, etc. But 6 times he's rushed me and left after I started playing with my pussy.
Another chap tipped me $20 to "offset the other dude's stupidity" 😂😂😂

I swear to God this is the most 'painful' contest i ever seen. New guys, coming up from nowhere asking for tits, pussy, ass, fuck dildo in free chat...wtf its going on...Non existing paying traffic, long hours online, bored as f..k....I cant wait until it ends...So sick of it!
Plus i have the feeling Sm played me on contest placement...last night i've made $90 in 10 minutes and my placement didn't move at all...hmmm, thats pretty weird...instead of going up, i was going down!
