I think that's because everyone on the site was busy stopping by my room to be abusive. I think I got called every nasty name in the book today. I considered adding "You're welcome to verbally degrade me in private, bb", to my saved messages.

@Nerd you weren't the only one. :S I didn't work today, I lurked in others' rooms and all the rooms had trolls being abusive and trowing in lame insults and stuff. I seriously saw guys threatening with going there and smashing the model's face, and she was just kind to everyone in her room. I really don't know what the fk is up lately, but this traffic is horrifying! So many trolls. i don't feel like sitting there with either creeps who don't talk or if they open their mouth they are abusive. The rest is just loggin on and off and sometimes some regulars come by. Which is cool, but the rest of the time just wears me out...

I'm about to cry... I just logged on to SM for 2 hours for SIXTEEN DOLLARS. This is my 4th shitty shift in a row. I'm really starting wonder if SM is losing traffic or something. Like all the people that are going to be regs are taken and all that's joining are trolls. This is horrendous...

I peeked in on a few of the girls tonight and decided it was slow enough all around to not even log on - if I work when its slow its hard for me to find the motiation to work the following day

01-28-2013, 10:14 PM
You gotta log in sweetie.Somebody might make next to nothing today and if you log on you might of made a ton of money.Today was one of the best days for me due to TV GOLD SHOWS. If i would not log on today based off this thread i would of lost out on good money.I'm not gonna lie it has been pretty slow lately.All i can do is log on and stay on for longer hours.At the end the day bills are due and im a single mother ,so if i have to stay on for 5-8 hours to make some type of money thats what i will do, cuz heyyy the first of the month is around the corner. I gotta do what i gotta to make these ends meet.Keep your heads up girlies.Now we know SM and camming in general is slow.Save more ,spend less.

I got on cam right after 5pm. It is now 2:15am. With the exception of four or five 10 minute potty/smoke breaks, I have been camming straight through. I have made... Wait for it... $40.28. One. Fucking. private. All. Night.

ETA: Right now there are 93 girls online, and only one girl on private on the entire site. I only have to make $79 by midnight tomorrow. I could go to sleep, wake up early, get on cam and earn that. Usually I can make that in 3 or 4 hours in a normal evening. But, tonight was NOT normal and I am terrified that tomorrow will suck big donkey balls too. Yesterday I did so way over my goal I was ecstatic. Tonight was the worst night I have ever had. The inconsistency of naked is killing me, man.

It's been really slow for me as well on SM the past couple of weeks. I'm still doing my normal hours and staying consistant, but I'm making half of what I would normally make. I'm hoping it's just because of it being right after the holidays and the guys just need to get caught up. This sitting and waiting is killing me. I don't even feel like putting in the effort.

The crappy part is, January has actually been pretty good for me overall. Unfortunately between being depressed and also getting physically sick I haven't been able to put in the days I would have liked. Now at the end of the month it's starting to slow down, of course, just when I can finally get my butt on cam more consistently. I was on for three hours this morning and made $0. Please Lord let tonight be better!

The worst scenario is that some girls are getting desperate and they are giving away lot for free. In my main site top girls were saying on cam that business sucks , we need to be careful because guys will take advantage of this slow time.

Been on for 5 hrs!?!!, had 1 exclusive of $17 and got disconnected in the middle of show, "system error" arrrghhh!!! The guy was new and had probably no idea what happened so he rated me a 3! I was playing online games the whole nite and my ass hurt from sitting, OMG; i could not work this week until last nite cause i have been going with mom to docs and such, i really hope i can make for a pay check this week.

Having an extremely shitty 2 weeks. My room is sinking and I keep jumping from page 1 to 2 and back making like 15 bucks an hour. If it stays that way for 2 more weeks, I'll have to go back to charging 1.99. Fuck my life.

You can message SM and ask them to remove that poor rating. Tell them what happened!

SM has been so so for me... Not as good as I am used to and it just takes a little longer to reach goal... But the weirdest thing happened to me this morning... I was trying to get the goal for gold show. With no luck... I mean one or two people would tip in and I had like 30 of them in the room... One guys- who didn't tip in for the gold show- asked to go pvt... We started the private... like a min in to it $5 tip in a FREE CHAT... Didn't think nothing of it... Then like 30 sec later $10 tip in a FREE CHAT... I got so freaked out that just logged off... Wasn't sure if guys could see my feed in free chat at the same time. By the time I had 4 guys in pvt and at 5.99min that would have been a good pvt... grrrrrr... so annoyed!!! Just had to vent...

There's problem with the site. Don't be freaked out, they can't see you. They're tipping you b/c they think you're in a gold show. It took me FOREVER to figure out what's going on with this. The site's coding is TOTALLY messed up & sometimes the GO PRIVATE Button just isn't there. I mean, the "code" is still there, so if the guys push on the space where it should be, they can get in (or at least that's what I was told by another model), but the button isn't visible. They assume you're in a gold show. I have guys throwing random amounts at me all the time, trying to get into a gold show that doesn't exist.

SM should REALLY get it's shit together on this. I've been talking to the customers about it & they are soooo confused. They don't understand why it won't let them go private, & they're not scamming me either. They only mention it to me when I'm already in private.

If this happens to you again, finish your show, then stop streaming, log off, log back in, start streaming again. It *should* reset your page, & hopefully will allow your button to be visible. Talk to your customers in free chat after that. Ask them if the button is there.

Thank you dear...
I been on SM for a little over 2 years and it is a first time something like it happened... Hated to just stop the pvt and let a good $40-$50 just slip away... but oh well... it's done now :) Tips in free chat made up for some of it... hehehe :)

I totally understand the confusion. The guys are talking about it a lot lately. It's been happening to me for a loooong time now. I just recently figured out for sure what's going on b/c the guys are becoming more verbal about it. I imagine if I kept tipping $5 over & over again & not getting a thing in return, I'd be pretty upset about it too.

As to why the common amount is $5, I think it's b/c of SM's "$5 Ad" they had out for a while, combined w/ the $20 "sign up" incentive they're giving a lot of the guys. Plus, $5 is a common amount for a gold show.

D'aww, Marina :D My shift was actually really good last night even though I made $0 the first 5 hours online. Gah. At least it ended well. I need to find another site to work in the mornings but all the ones I'm on just kind of suck. I've got two in mind, one that I did okay on before and one that I have never tried. My main site gives out cash prizes every week for the top 100 earners so on the other hand I'm wondering if I should just suck up the slow times and invest all of my energy on there so I have a better chance of getting bonuses. Who knows. I'll just be glad come Monday: everyone's rent will have been paid, the Superbowl will be over, and things can start getting back to normal! Nah screw normal, I'mma rock it out. I still love camming even when I complain that it's slow. Let's go hug it out in the camming rocks right now thread.

It's my birthday today, so I figured it would be a good time to make a comeback- WRONG! I stayed up all fucking night on MY FUCKING BIRTHDAY and only made $30!! WTF??!! Oh, and a few guys got all shitty with me over their freeloading/cheapskate BS! I got called a bitch and a few other choice words I'm trying to forget. I actually cried while I was online. I didn't show my face, but I was crying! FUCK!!

It had me crying last night too. I made like $5 for my first two hours. I logged off to have my breakdown, and when I pointed the cam on my boobs, my room started filling up. Fuckers.

I had the cam on my boobs while I was crying! LOL No money tho...

Also my placement dropped. I have no idea why I'm sitting on the middle of the first page with girls with shitty cams ahead of me. Ugh, I am starting to really hate camming/streamate. Things have to get better soon.

This isn't really a camming sucks, more of a payment processor sucks. I HATE spending freaking $9.95 every time I cash out to have my funds on the next business day and I don't get my funds on the next business day. Why should I have to call and hound them every week to just give me my damn money? Screw you CMB Paycard delays, screw you! Ugh it's so bad I even know all of the customer service reps by name. This has happened more than a dozen times in the last 4 months. They need to stop charging me that ridiculous cash out fee if they're not going to give me my money when they say they will. Legally speaking, can I demand that they waive the cash out fee every time they don't deliver???

My placement has tanked out of no where too.

I'm now starting to focus more on my split cam sites and considering putting time back into MFC if things don't pick up in Feb.

I freaking LOVE LOVE LOVE Streamate... but I cannot sit at the lower half of page 1, especially when I know I have done nothing different than normal to make my placement drop so bad. I just won't do it when I can be high up and getting more traffic on other sites.

I have noticed a ton of studio girls and just random models ahead of me that I've not seen before. Like, who are these people? I am not trying to sound like a bitch but if earnings factors into placement, I know I earn more so.... what gives???

This has happened more than a dozen times in the last 4 months. They need to stop charging me that ridiculous cash out fee if they're not going to give me my money when they say they will. Legally speaking, can I demand that they waive the cash out fee every time they don't deliver???

Last time I cashed out I noticed they have now changed the wording. It now says 2 to 3 business days! :(

Not worth paying $10 every time I cash out.

I'm determined to find a way to get myself ahead enough so that I can quit depending on these "faster" high-fee payment services that are not even that fast.

I couldn't find myself in the listings at all.... so I log on all thinking my life is going to be over.... and now I'm WAY HIGH UP. Like, I don't know what happened. Even offline placement has sky rocketed.

I think the cam goddesses were listening to me bitch and whine and cut me a break! LOL

Camming sucks when you've waited four days for your period to end so that you can film videos and get on cam...an then you get a UTI, go to the doctor, get the meds and miss a whole bunch of days to work. I had a goal (and a game plan) in mind to make $1000 before the 15th, but I guess that's not gonna happen.
