Mine has been one day behind for this entire week.
It’s so weird. Half the models have their one from yesterday and half are current. Then a reg told me it was a different one but not what should be my current one. So silly. Does support need to approve this too now?
Was letting this bother me so I tried in chrome and it updated. Was using Firefox previously. I think there will be many hands in the coding cookie jar this weekend.
Same! Mine is the same from days ago no matter how many times I try to re-take it. I always use Chrome but may try a different browser, who knows? Smh...

Does anyone know why a stream gets cut- almost like the site did it? It happened 3 times with the same guy and nothing against rules was going on- very strange because it did not happen with anyone else. We were literally just talking- And of course, it was one of my regulars who does long shows, eventually he gave up. We both have good internet. It was very strange. Any ideas?

Not wired, but now that I think about it, perhaps, SM suspected fraud on his part. Never happens with anyone else, though. Who knows...

what constitutes a costume? If I wear a witch's hat, does that count? I want to stream on SM this weekend but I don't want to put any effort into a costume whatsoever

That happens to me sporadically with different guys sometimes 3 or 4 times. It's just another in the endless stream of glitches.

My snapshot pic hasn’t updated in over 24 hours with multiple attempts. That should be fun for the Halloween contest.
I have the same problem, and it is VERY annoying. Can't we just have a set picture (that we can change from the gallery), instead of this every 24 hour pic shit?

You also don't want to spend $100 and two hours find ready and make $50 lol. Every time I've dressed up, even not on Halloween, it's been a wasted effort

Are the contest bonuses subject to the 35% cut? Or is the full amount added to your earnings?

I've always done well with costumes. Last year I dressed up two days in a row. The first day, I was a sexy Jigsaw from the saw movie, the second day, I was a Satanic Temptress. I also run Halloween-themed games in my streams which also helps. I love planning Halloween shows - my cam area gets decorated, I download a ton of spooky music, film Halloween clips. I do very well each time. It's definitely worth going for it - but find a niche. Guys like a niche. They like something different every now and then.

I'm confused- does the contest end for USA peeps on Monday (tomorrow) at 5PST, 7CST, 8EST- depending on time zone- or in USA Tuesday during those times? I kept thinking Monday but now that I look at Timer it might be Tuesday? Can someone confirm? Thanks.

YES! THIS! And always in batches of 5. This started the same time my traffic went away. Same day/shift. It was weird AF. I know all of my guys didn't simultaneously disappear. My $ and traffic are absolute TRASH.
I literally have 3 of my whale regulars semi-saving my ass right now and that's not cutting it.
I've seen this shit before and it's not good - Front page does NOT look the same.....
WTF SM?
That is so strange! It has been the same for me, low traffic, low paying traffic, and potentials higher than they've EVER been for me. Is there any explanation for this? Are they promoting us somewhere new?
It creeps me out to sit there it free chat for minutes at a time with 0 guests and 14 potentials, in absolute silence. I just want to kick them all out but I can't! Makes me feel very self conscious when normally I'm not.

Just bollocked masspay - told them that since we are in a cost of living crisis, a lot of cam models are relying on the money they've earned. So I've asked for a time-scale. Will let you know when I hear more.

I'm finding this to be typical on SM. It's literally a crapshoot- no rhyme or reason hour by hour, day by day, week to week, and we will never know why.... I just go on and roll the dice... Once I accepted that this is how they operate, it got a tad easier to manage the constant uncertainty. It is still maddening, though ..they key is not having all eggs in 1 basket. Luckily, I use a back up site, in addition to SM, to supplement income.

If you don't mind me asking, how do you make this much during a contest week? My income is usually cut by nearly half during contests, so I can be on 20 hours and earn MAYBE $1000 for the whole week if I'm very lucky!

Hi everyone - Liz here :-)
I wanted to post what information we have related to the MP challenges:
MassPay is currently aware of the challenges for USD SEPA options. They are actively working to restore this option. While wire transfers are currently available, SEPA is also available for GBP and EUR transfers.
We are also actively in contact with MassPay - and hope (like you) to see this resolved soon. As you know if you wish to change your payment method, you can do so at any time and can have your funds returned. We anticipate this to be resolved asap.
I wish everyone a great weekend - but wanted to post an update to keep you in the loop.
Liz
Meanwhile, I'm going around in circles with Masspay. I email them for an update - I get no response. I email Streamate and they tell me to email MassPay. We aren't getting any transparency from MassPay. And with the cost of living crisis in the UK, UK models are now getting extremely worried, to the point where they are reluctant to stream until the situation is sorted. We need answers and we need an alternative form of payment which can pay in GBP, as a matter of urgency. Because as it stands, UK and EU models cannot get their hands on the hard-earned money they are relying on and nobody seems to have any answers or solutions for us. So I appeal to you today, to please help us to solve this issue and receive the monies we are owed. Thank you.

Yup, still can't transfer funds. Masspay won't give me any updates. They won't give Streamate any updates. Streamate suggest I change payment method - except Masspay is the only payment method for UK models. Getting concerned and angry at the lack of transparency.

cosmo also work for the U.K. chick I’m changing, I emailed SM earlier and they said to get masspay to send the funds back to them and they will transfer it once the other payment method is set up, it’s going to take a few days but it’s given me peace of mind at least now

Well, I've just signed up and sent my docs, so fingers crossed. Sods law says that by the time is approved, Masspay will get their act together.
BTW - another model emailed SM today asking what was taking so long with MP - they said she should contact MP and have the discussion with them. Exactly how she's supposed to do that when MP don't reply, I don't know!

MP replied to me eventually after sending multiple generic emails back basically saying it happend over night the problem and it’s affecting everyone, and that they don’t have another reply untill they get a response on what’s happening
and I know I thought that either way I just want my money haa
Below is the email
I understand your scenario, this happened overnight with one of our main partners and it's affecting all of our users. Unfortunately for the moment I don't have another reply until we get a more clear response on when all of our payout methods will be restored.

Another canned response because this is what they sent last Thursday when I contacted them. They haven't responded to multiple emails since.
