Do they not approve Asian models streaming from Asia. I noticed they don't have any Asian customer support phone numbers?
Does anyone have a support email that I can use without having to log in?
[email protected] or
[email protected] 1-866-831-7731 I hope they approve you soon.

I will happily remain in the 'Ban the trolls' club. How another model handles trolls is her prerogative...same with the way I handle my own room. :)

heres a number for you... where exactly are you located? they have many phone numbers, depending on your exact country, "asia" is not listed,
1-866-831-7731 United States number-NOT toll free from other countries
Thanks! I saw the list of numbers, but there were no numbers in any Asian countries (mine is Thailand).
I did manage to email them and received this reply:
"Due to changes that have occurred in your region, ImLive has decided to fully suspend its services within this region."
I believe this could be in error, because I'm Filipino but live in Thailand. There have been no changes in Thailand, but there have been changes in the Philippines (a recent new cybersex law). I don't suppose they realize by my application that I will be streaming from Thailand, not the Philippines... as they don't ask me for a physical address - so they assume I'm in the Philippines.
Any suggestions?

you do know that porn is illegal in thailand right? there was a HUGE thing about an MFC model who was renting a mansion last year that got into trouble because she got found out.

Sure, but its good to see that other methods work too, right? I would bet my method is a lot easier than battling trolls all day long.
You probably haven't tried the "leave 'em alone" approach. You'd be surprised how quickly trolls go away if you don't pay them any attention.... and once they are gone they are gone for good, as they search for other models who bite. Sometimes a smile and typing lol works wonders too.
If we explain both methods, other girls who are new to camming will have some options, rather than thinking there's only one way.
I've been on SM for nearly 6 weeks. I don't have anyone banned - never have trouble. I have no one banned on any sites I work on and my rooms tend to be very peaceful.
I can even say that over the years I've converted more than one troll to a big spending customer. They become intrigued by a girl who doesn't respond to their shit, and then develop a crush. Trolls are people too and they can have lots of cash. Yeah, you can beat them into submission without fighting. LOL

With all due respect, I think you shouldn't concern yourself with how other models choose to handle their rooms. I noticed in a few of your posts you seem to have this opinion that other models are doing things "wrong." What's right for you may not be right for everyone else. I've been camming for quite some time, and have tried different things. As I've said before in a previous post, I will continue to do what works for me. :)

^with all due respect, I'm not concerned with how you handle your room. That's up to you.
Sure, you've been on this forum forever, so you don't appreciate a "newby" coming along and questioning your methods. I get that.
We're not the only ones reading this and I don't feel my posts are for you alone. Suggesting another way to handle trolls does not seem like a bad idea.
Please don't take my posts so personally. We all have different posting styles.

A while back ago, like a month I think, A lot of the Asian girls where saying bye because, I think it was just the studio girls cos none of the girls left ( about 10) are with a studio, IM requested that they resubmit their ID's and pictures by X date but they said it wasn't enough time for them. However I feel if you have enough time to say your farewells you have enough time to find your passport and take a pic.Maybe 1 or 2 cant find but all of you guys.
The studio/s was probably reusing IDs and IM finally caught up on the game.
The fact that they are now banning Asia as a whole it probably even more to it then just that.
I think the site can tell where we are, probably because of our IP address. I know this is IM but a girlfriend of mine works for SM in America but when she went to visit family in Morocco her thing changed to MA. Probably the indie site wouldn't but the bigger sites Im sure they keep track of our location and just don't give a shit. Cos its actually illegal to do any same sex sexual activity in most of Africa, death and rape are very ok punishments, but there are a lot of studio calls doing girl on girl shows. Some in fact are doing it in the same areas that will post you picture on the front page of the newspaper as being gay and should killed on site as a head line. I doubt that would be a reason, we all be banned of that's the case.

I couldn't care less whether or not you're a newbie. What I don't appreciate is you harassing me about this 'how to deal with trolls' thing. You heard me say that I'm happy with the way I deal with trolls, but you just won't let it go. You're like one of those telemarketers who just won't quit. Lol. Stop worrying so much about how other models choose to handle their room. Smh.

03-15-2014, 10:01 PM
^Their email to me wasn't very specific. I'm not sure if they are banning the whole of Asia, specific areas in Asia, or specific countries.
I suppose I'll have to call their US number and ask.

Is that right? Did you not know that SM has a whole Philippines division despite laws there?
I know about the MFC model you're referring too. She's from my town. She was running an escort service (using MFC to obtain customers) and there was drugs involved too.
Things are not always as they seem.

No one likes a Miss Know-It-All who speaks to fellow models in a condescending manner. Also, the ladies on here should be able to share their personal experiences and personal preferences without you accusing them of "overthinking things." They're trying to help you out, and you're just shooting down their opinions. Not very nice.
I have to get up early, so I'm going to bed now. I'm sure there will be a snide remark from you waiting for me in the morning. *sigh*

if anyone has questions about the camming situation is Thailand, it is a touchy subject.
If Tropo would like to PM me, I will direct you to her open blog about what happened and her updates about camming / photos etc in Thailand.
I think a lot of models let her go assuming the worse, it was made out pretty bad for the public. When she speaks about it, she tells what happened. Its still bad but I think it will help you understand why we assume its illegal, its a tough subject over there but she explains nicely.
she is still going through the whole legal issues , i think? She does update, she has mega fans

Not to distract from drama but I was just reading the in-house guide and I noticed this:
"Every 20 minutes a raffle is held with the names of all the Hosts in Free Video Chat (Free Live Chat) at that moment. You must be in FLC for at least 20 minutes prior to the raffle to participate in it."
Do they mean that you must be in free chat OR in a show for the last 20 minutes or do they mean that to qualify you have to have been sitting in free chat for the last 20 minutes straight? I know it's just $2-4 (times whatever, I've had like 3 conversions since September so I'm not expecting much) but I want to be clear on this lol

I don't think you have to be in a show. I think they just mean that as long as you're in free live chat for at least 20 minutes. Also, I think somewhere on there it says that models just sitting there not interacting with FLC will be disqualified. So if Customer Service does happen to pop in and notice a model just sitting there like a bump on a log and not interacting, I guess she wouldn't count. I never do ImLive FLC, so I know I won't ever win their raffle. Lol.

Yeah, pretty much. LOL. If I was gonna do ImLive FLC, I'd just smile and be like "Hey, guys...how's it goin? I'm Shelly," hoping that there are decent people in there willing to chat with me without begging. If I get any demanding or begging guys, I'll just tell them they can take me private. If they think they're gonna get freebies out of me or to get me to break the rules, they're in for a rude awakening.
I haven't done ImLive FLC in a really long time though.

Ladies, I just wanted to come back and give an update on whole IML customer conversion debacle. I'm sorry it took so long but they just now finished it. They finally paid my ass what I was owed! I knew I was in the right and I'm glad I had proof. I can't imagine how many flirts or even affiliates send converting traffic to them and they don't pay them what they owe. SM has been the best converting camsite for me and I won't be sending anymore traffic/customers to IML. I think I'll still use them as a splitting site only, and only log in once I knock out the rest of my free chat hours.

Sam38g has recommended tweeting several photos per day and watermarking them with your link on whatever site you're camming on. Blogging is another way to promote. Paying for ads on backpage, or other ad sites. There are several forums on this site that gives you a slew of promoting info. Check it out for the best results and good luck, bb!

You see the new tool on the right side of our host page that tells you your position daily (top 200 hosts)? Not that I am trying to be a top host, but it does make it kind of interesting to be able to see how we are fairing compared to the rest of the hosts on the site. For those who are determined to make their hall of fame, and get the extra 5%, this ought to help a lot. (Im a veteran host so I get the 5% in or out of HOF).
