If you internet keeps going out, stay persistent with your ISP to get the issue solved. Are you wireless? or hardwire? Are you having intermittent issues? Do you have more then one device connected to your internet? Are you experiencing the same issues with those? Can you recreate it at all? Have you replaced cables, modem, ect? You can PM if you want, TSL. I know how frustrating this can be.

How often would you say a modem needs to be changed out? Ive used the same one for 2 years and my Ethernet capabilities are in and out recently. Used 2 different cords and it still happens. My pc is only 4 months old. I really hope its not the Ethernet connection on the tower...there is only one. I think a modem is less expensive to change out.

well traffic has been better for me and I did increase a bit. I am back to making what I normally make so I can't complain. JAn and FEb though this year was HORRIBLE! AS far as gold shows yeah I don't like doing those anymore because I can never even make 50 as a goal lol. Gold shows are completely done these days. I remember when I used to make 100 an hour from them when they first started and now make shit so I only do those when I am bored or as a treat for my members that don't make as much money (I'm assuming) or maybe cheap whatever the case is it is a treat not something offered every day. Time is money and gold shows at least for me waste both.

Wow, that really touched me, thank you!

I am appalled but not surprised by what he did. He sounded like the voice of experience. A lot of assholes like him would mess with Transsexuals on the down low yet they would ridicule us, shame us and call us freaks in public. I don't fuck with self-hating bastards like that. I just put them all on blast!

If you still want a vanilla job, that's definitely not the kind of environment you'd want to be in so it was definitely a blessing to know before hand :)

Sorry, that happened to you. It sucks! I'm sure your landlord would understand if you let them know what happened if rent is going to be late. I sure hope so!

Not too long ago I was helping my grandmother sort out her finances because she was a victim of credit card fraud. This morning I wake up to see over $600 in my account missing to a zapzappos.com or some bs! My bank is taking care of it, sending me an affidavit, and a new card. Thankfully they're switching over to a chip this year, but damn! They got me right before rent was due, too and that's a decent chunk of my rent which will be late.

I'm pissed and completely baffled. I ordered food last night from a local place that uses a batched call center to bill their customers and I think they might just have been fucked up the ass by a security breech. This is the first time this has happened to me and I'm without my emergency fund and I'm completely dumb founded.

I just had my ISP come out today. I'm paying $180 a month for the internet alone, not to mention another $170 for the bundle. I pay for 110/5 (ugh)
which is the cap here and in certain areas of my home I'm getting time outs or 3.29/1.42! Once I got 0.55 upload speed. I was told from the technician the dirty little secret which is basically that ISP (especially those who don't charge for their modems) give out modems that are good hardwired in certain locations but are shitty for wireless internet. This has been my case.

He tested all the areas of my home and in my room (about 75sft away from my office) my internet literally goes way down. It won't even reach 60mbps in my room which is why when I watch movies in here wirelessly they take ages to stream and pause mid scene.

He informed me that if I wanted the best wireless coverage to go with the latest and greatest which is the Netgear Nighthawk wireless router for $199 and that he would personally come out free if I have any issues with it. He also tested my middle floor and my internet dropped there as well barely getting 60mbps out of 114 tested upstairs in my office where my router is. When hardwired (obviously) I don't lose anything so I'm just going to get a 200sft ethernet cable.

Thanks bb! I rent from my Aunt who I informed right away and she was extremely understandable. She said one year she was taken for $700 O.o I'm truly blessed. I'm most definitely sure that if it was anyone else I would've been fucked. I'm hustling my emergency/savings fund this month for sure. I can't be unprepared again for this.

It's just embarrassing especially since I've been hustling daily for this rent. Lucky for her she always has at least 6 months bills paid just in case of emergencies. I need to get on her level and fast!

So it seems like every fucking place I shop is doing this now... you're through the cash, about to pay for your purchase and then you get asked "would you like to donate $2/$1 to the ____ childrens ___?" No I would not!!!! I make my own donations on my own damn time and volunteer where and when I please. I'm not going to give your company free additional money when I'm ALREADY shopping there. Way to kick your loyal customers in the nuts. I wonder how much of the money actually GOES to said charity cause I'm betting it's not 100%. And then a month later it will be something new and they'll display a banner saying how great they are because they gave money when all they did was mooch off of customers who are already paying too much for their goods. Does this drive anyone else bonkers? GRR

I also don't even bother with gold shows anymore. It's been hard adjusting back to doing privates only because I hate sitting there doing nothing, but I was looking back at my spread sheets today and I actually make the same amount or more overall. It's just hard to wait on shows, that's what kills me because I get bored and log off too soon.

If your ISP offers you a modem, have them change it out. Setting up your own modem can be a headache and if there is any further issues with your internet, your ISP won't help you because they won't be able to touch your equipment and properly troubleshoot further. Unless you have IT and networking skills, I advise not to get your own modem.

Basically change out your modem after you check your network card, cables, and any other equipment that you may have between your PC and modem (router, switch, VPN). If your Ethernet port seems loose, yeah definitely change it.

If your ISP is CenturyLink, they are a bunch of monkeys. I used to work for that company. Their equipment is heavily out of date. And the poor support has limited resources depending on your area to fully help you.

Do you have someone you can borrow their laptop to do further troubleshooting? It could be your network card, or your Ethernet port. Have they groom your lines? Have they check your DSLAM? If your having intermittent issues, it can be ANYTHING. From it being a bad card in the DSLAM, to a faulty line in your house.

You might want to try a wireless extender instead of getting a router. You can get one for $50 and test that out in the mean time to see if that helps. I just installed one in my mom's house. Her and my brother were having the same issue. And that has fixed their problem completely without purchasing a router. If it doesn't work, you can always return it. Put the extender halfway between your modem and your bedroom. I usually place it when the wireless signal reaches 50%. You can estimate this out by using you laptop bars when it drops to three bars or two.

What I can't stand is how you can't do shit anymore without being expected to give additional money or donate to this and that cause. From the Girl Scouts coming right up to you asking you to buy cookies...to the Dollar Tree employees asking you to purchase specific items for the men overseas. And, just like you said, MissAdriana, they do it right as you're in the middle of paying for your items. I've never liked the whole 'in your face' tactic that these people use. And then if you politely say no, sometimes they're like "No?" or "You sure?" *sigh* YES, I'm SURE. Yeah, I know they're just doing their jobs (like the telemarketers are just doing their jobs), but damn, it's so fucking annoying. Lol. I'm always polite about it though.

Speaking of donating, a long time ago I gave $25 - $50 to a website that supposedly was for my neighbor who was born with brain malformations. I told his mom that I saw the website and donated, and she had no idea wtf I was talking about. She was totally unaware of this site. SMH. Now it's possible that one of their loved ones had put the site together without her knowledge. I don't know. But when she told me she doesn't know what site I'm talking about, I thought "Damn, so her family might not even get to see any of that money. SMH." So I'm just gonna stick to donating by buying lemonade from their lemonade stands they sometimes have in the summer. That way, I know it's legit, and the money is actually going towards their medical expenses.

If they only fucking knew how much extra money military families and their kids actually got, they'd give it to someone who actually needed it. As a former military wife, the benefits were outrageous. We had food, housing, cars and extra money coming out the wazoo.

I got you beat I banned 25 so far. And they are all the same ones I unbanned last week. Its the same guys never paying just begging. Ban them on one site and then they pop up like a weed on another site. I have one guy who creates accounts every day on two different sites to TRY and antagonize me. No wait 3 sites. One of them I don't login anymore. And I see his IP range on my website everyday too. Doesn't tip or go private just wants me to know how I should be all over him. Gotta admire the dedication though :)

I have a friend that works for MADD I never donated to them but thought they were ok. She was hit by a drunk driver and she lost her best friend in that crash and the guy got off with like a 2 year jail sentenced.

I used to work at a store that did donations once in awhile. Sometimes I'd never ask other times I would because they wouldn't have a coupon and most of the time you'd get a coupon to donate and the savings would be more then they'd donate.

Hit my goal in 3 hours so I decided that I was going to try to go a 2nd round after taking a 2 hour break. I dunna where the heck the traffic went in that time. Been on for 6 hours(total of 9 altogether) and still not close. Jeez I'm going to be on until the crack of dawn literally. Only good thing is that I'm not tired or cranky. Since its obviously going to take me forever to make the rest of my goal I guess I will just watch Netflix until I get there.

I just need to rant for a second. I was camming tonight and guys were telling me another performer was using her customer account in another cam room talking about about cam performers. She flat out told everyone in that room she was a cam performer. Then she said cam performers who PM custies about shows are desperate. I never believe custies because they like drama sometimes. I go look and she was actually saying that. WTF? Then she posted that when she bought tokens, the site charged her double. Why would you post that on the cam site you work? You send CS a message and then give them time to fix it.

1. You dont announce your performer in another performers room
2. You dont talk about cam performers on any cam site, its even worse when you are one
3. You dont tell custies if you have an error in buying tokens. It could be a one time mistake

It pisses me off that a performer would do that. If you dont like someone fine, but you dont need to post it on the site they work on. That's classless as hell.

When I was going to a Justin Timberlake concert in Philly in 2013, my cab driver made a point of telling me that he's looking forward to the free meal he'll get from Applebee's on Veterans Day.

I asked about removing a 1 star rating and I was told "no, you have a 5 star rating, it won't do you any good". Oh great, thanks.

I just need to rant for a second. I was camming tonight and guys were telling me another performer was using her customer account in another cam room talking about about cam performers. She flat out told everyone in that room she was a cam performer. Then she said cam performers who PM custies about shows are desperate. I never believe custies because they like drama sometimes. I go look and she was actually saying that. WTF? Then she posted that when she bought tokens, the site charged her double. Why would you post that on the cam site you work? You send CS a message and then give them time to fix it.

1. You dont announce your performer in another performers room
2. You dont talk about cam performers on any cam site, its even worse when you are one
3. You dont tell custies if you have an error in buying tokens. It could be a one time mistake

It pisses me off that a performer would do that. If you dont like someone fine, but you dont need to post it on the site they work on. That's classless as hell.

It's fucked up. I've seen Streamate models browsing other models' rooms just so they have something/someone to talk shit about while they, too, are camming. SMH. And, of course, the guys won't tell the model that she's in the wrong. They'll just sit there and agree with (or pretend to agree with) everything she says...because she's "hot."

I'm all about models supporting other models, and I'm genuinely happy to see other models doing well. What really really irks me is seeing another model talk bad specifically about another model. There's a top 20 girl on MFC who is continuously talking bad about another model, saying that she doesn't deserve to be #1 because she doesn't put in nearly as many hours as her and a bunch of other things. Trying to reason with her was like talking to a brick wall. I would have never said this about anyone before I saw what she was doing, but I sincerely hope she crashes and burns and learns a few things.

^^^^I've never emailed Liz/Vanessa for ratings which is probably why they weren't taken down? Have you tried emailing SM's customer service?
I've had every rating below a 5 taken down by basically saying this:

Hello,

The customer John Doe rated me a (insert rating here) for (this reason here). I'm not sure why John Doe was able to rate me as he didn't even stay a full (insert time here) to give me a chance to give him a top show. I try my best to offer amazing 5 star shows for SM and I was wondering if you can remove it for me? Thanks! I really appreciate your help!

If you make them feel appreciated and play it like SM is going to suffer as well as you for the low rating, they will take that shit down and in a hurry.

Make sure you locate John Doe and REPORT him yourself where you see what he rated you. I report custies that do that because they don't stay long enough to be pleased and most of them do that to everyone. That to me is a violation. I believe guys who rate low should only do so if the model is disrespectful, lies about something they promised, or is a HORRIBLE performer.

Streamate should just do away with a stupid rating system like that anyway. Some guys will like a performer and others won't. Period. No need to discourage the model or the guys by stupid fucking star ratings. I guess they don't want to keep hearing from models about how come I'm not on the first page. I'm going to guestimate there's maybe 40 -60 models on page 1. We're not all going to fit.
I say get rid of the star ratings and focus on performer and customer service. Cause traffic took a gigantic crapola. When you get on page 1 and the top of the top are saying they can't make it wtf chance do the rest of us have? And I've been hearing it daily lately.
I guess it's like most business models now in days. As long as their bottom line isn't affected who cares. New models will come along every week and so will new custies.
Now don't get me wrong. This is all being said in the most positive way ever with fluffs of sparkly glitter poofing out my ass amongst rainbows and butterflies. Angles were heralding and unicorns were romping in bliss while I wrote this.

Yes, I got zero response from customer service, which is why I emailed Liz. Ah well.

The times I've asked customer service to remove ratings, they haven't done it/replied for up to 2-3 days. So be patient!

I kinda agree with you about the degradation of a rating system. However "rating bitches and ho's" is apart of the male psyche and these campsites know this. It's not going anywhere. Ive only had 1 star rating appear on SM and it was removed in 12 hours maybe? Not saying Im the shit but damage control is one of my strong points. If I think its going downhill I go into retention mode and try to be as sweet as possible. Do the same when contacting websites to have the rating removed.

"I'm going to guestimate there's maybe 40 -60 models on page 1. We're not all going to fit."

Yup its just not the way it works. And if you don't bump up to the first page don't sweat it. It's good to have a competitive spirit and all but too many variables predict your placement. Stay in your lane and don't get caught up in that camlife. Also having a "day job" helps with having an easy breezy persona while on cam.

I think I recall the day they instilled this rating system on SM.. it was the worst day of my life!...LOL... I have always hated the rating system on the other cam sites I work on.. it just burns me up and I get super bent out of shape if I get a bad rating.. I am a super perfectionist.. and to have to look at myself sitting with 4 or 4 1/2 just really makes me miserable as it is NOT perfect.. (Moon in Virgo) Although, my entire life is NOT perfect it burns me up every fucking day it's not..LOL..

The only time I EVER keep a 1 star rating is if I bitched you out and wasted your money because I didn't like what you said or do....and those I keep cuz I sucked!!..lol.... But also the only luck I ever had of getting the 1 star ratings removed was print screens.. they remove without hesitation if they can view the convo and when he logged off ... I also print screen guys ahead of time if I feel like they are going to be a problem for me and might complain in the near future about me.
