I sent out a generic Happy Holidays email to all the guys who have paid for shows.
But then MY inbox has been flooded by guys responding..
"I'd love to come take you private again, but you've had me blocked for the last few years."
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Oops. Wish SM gave me the option to only send my messages to NON- blocked custie.
Too funny.

What? Really? On your blacklist, was the box checked to block everyone from chat AND messages?

Not messages of course. I usually leave that box unchecked just in case they apologize.
Apparently all these dudes didn't.
Good luck to them.
Bye Felicia.:wave:

Hey guys. I took a few days off camming after the whole flash debacle thing started. I was so frustrated the night I logged off I wrote to the feedback form "anonymously" (although for some reason even though I was logged out of my model account, it still logged my message as coming from my performer account.. creepy), This is what I got back from liz. I have never written to her before. I basically just complained about the flash thing and just expressing my frustration with the whole thing, glitches and all.

"Hi there.

Normally we do not reply to the feedback forms submitted as we are mostly compiling information to help us prioritize a long list of requests from models. However, I did feel the need to reply to you on your comments.

Streamate and the thousands of whitelabels driving traffic to models are in the process of migration off of Flash. Our html5/hybrid client is in testing currently and is being served to those users without flash currently. We’re fully aware of the changes coming and have been working towards a solid and scalable solution. Please note, that the model client while not being updated at this time, is on the list – but the first priority is making sure users can spend AND view streams.

As for listening to models – we try to listen to everyone as often as we can. Which is part of the reason the feedback from exists. It helps us see what is important to models and allows us to prioritize projects to help meet the needs of the models as best we can. We obviously cannot make everyone happy 100% of the time, but we are making major improvements and taking steps towards a lot of improvements to help models manage their users easily, earn more, provide quality content and have the best quality streams in the industry.

Anyway – I wanted to introduce myself, I’m Liz, I’m a Director of Marketing at Streamate – and have worked with hundreds of models on the site, so I know your frustrations and am doing what I can to help address them.

Thanks

Liz"

So anyway, they ARE moving on from flash it seems. I wasn't sure if anyone had mentioned this yet. They're not sticking to their guns and keeping a flash based website forever. Thank god.

Been having the same problem for days. It goes red and then drops back down and then goes red again. And I am not running anything else either.

Ooooo the struggle is real. I'm going looooong periods without anyone in my room. I was having a high cpu too. I had one site in firefox and the other in chrome. Once I updated my flash plugin in firefox it went back down.

EllieGold
12-21-2016, 10:34 PM
My CPU usage has been a getting a little bit better? 50% or so now. Maybe I am just lucky today lol Okay now it's at 60%. This isn't my newer computer so I will take that over the usual 95% CPU usage. Wonder what happened? Version 16.

Regarding traffic, hot garbage at best.

12-22-2016, 03:14 AM
My cpu has been horrible as well. I got kicked off 3 times so far and it's soo damn slow. I've never seen it this bad....I'm using chrome so I guess I'll try firefox and see if that works cause this is just sad...

I've been having the same cpu issue for a while now. decided to uninstall and then reinstall SMB. It was in the red constantly before I did (80-100% & glitching constantly), but I just streamed a couple hours this morning post reinstall and it didn't go above 45% (averaged around 32-36% most of the morning). Worth a try if you haven't done so already!

12-22-2016, 08:43 AM
I have had guys telling me they can't see the gold button or the option to go exclusive. With how glitch prone the site is Idk if they are full of it or if it's legit. BUt I've been sending the screencaps to support either way.

I have had people struggling to go exclusive and my stream freezing even with CPU of 25% and perfect fibre broadband not a clue but I did loose shows this week chucking people off so totally annoying.

Omg, I am just so sick of these idiots. Like, I have no patience anymore. They are all stupid, asking stupid questions, making stupid comments... I'm just so done with free chat at this point. I'm ignoring it and only answering questions that might get them into paid chat...otherwise they can all fuck off. It's like walking through a construction site with all of the hooting and hollering that those dumb asses do. I'm over it.

Last night, I just sat there and ignored everyone unless they said something to me. I used to say hi to just about everyone that would come in. Screw that, I'm tired of sounding like a parrot! If they want to talk, they can talk. Otherwise, I'll just sit there and amuse myself. Made more than I did the day before when I was actually trying.

The encoder has been kicking me off once every shift without fail and normally immediately after a long exclusive or gold show, very odd as since using the encoder I've had nearly 0 technical issues.

In addition to this I've also started blocking after 10-15mins if they don't spend. It doesn't take that long to figure out if you want a show. Sick of them sitting in my room trying to talk to me without paying. Blocking freeloaders is the only thing making me happy right now

I managed to scrounge up two privates today just from booting silent lurkers. They bought shows out of guilt, I suppose. Sad that this is the way to get some people to appreciate us.

Oh and one thing I LOATHE - when I sit off camera because I'm tired of being silently leered at, and they drag me to pvt or exc just to get me back on cam, then immediately leave as soon as I do. I actually had someone argue with me when I yelled insults at him for doing that. "That wasn't my intention! I couldn't see you so I just left paid chat!" You never saw me? Motherfucker, I straight up walked back on camera with a big smile and started taking off my clothes!

I might give this a try. I had this guy the other day talk to me forever, no tip, no private, nothing, but I was so bored, I talked to him. How hard is it to understand this is a job? It is not a community service and I am not a volunteer. I don't want to be your girlfriend or hang out with you and I am not here for the attention or to get guys to tell me how hot I am. We are here to make money. How would they like to go to work and not get paid for it? And for the guys who think it is too expensive, go to a tube site and watch whatever you can find for free. If you want live interaction with us, then take out your little credit card and pay the fuck up and do it with a smile. We have expenses to pay for. High-speed internet costs money, a quality computer costs money, a quality webcam costs money, all the toys they expect us to have cost money, lingerie, sexy clothes, and makeup all cost money and all of that is on top of our regular living expenses. And they wonder why we are so bitchy. Take a long hard look in the mirror, dude, you are the reason why we are all bitchy!

Okay, rant over lol Love you girls on here! I don't think I could do this job without somewhere to vent.

I'm definitely guilty of chatting with them for free out of boredom, but this week I just don't have the patience. I don't want to talk or pretend to be their friend. The ones that talk and talk almost never spend, so they can go bother someone else. I should probably add I haven't made shit this week, so I don't know if this is good for business, but I wasn't making anything being sweet and chatty either so......at least I'm less annoyed by the end of my shift. When I was stripping, if they didn't spend after 3 songs I moved on. Kicking/blocking is the only way for me to "move on" without logging off myself.

Those hang out guys are so annoying. Would they go into a restaurant, sit at a table and tell the waitress "I'm not going to order anything or leave a tip. Just thought I'd come in and say hi and chat for awhile" No, they wouldn't!! but for some reason they think it's ok with us. So many of them seem to genuinely believe that we're there to hang out and entertain bored, cheap people. They don't seem to grasp the concept that it's a job and if you come out and tell them it's a job, they get all butt hurt because it hurts their frail male ego to think that a woman has to get paid to pay attention to them.

Thank you!!!! Perfectly put. I've been on a ban spree myself. If they ask for stuff without tipping, try chatting about dumb shit, I just ban. The guys that are going to spend do. Whether I chat them up or not makes no difference. I don't need freeloaders clogging up my bandwidth, I'm not a chat host. I will make a mild ploy to convert them, but I'm not into cajoling or car salesmanship like tactics. They either want to or they don't. The site either has paying traffic, or like today being pre-holiday: they don't. Now that I know I can pull up the ban page when they come into my shows if my bullshit meter is going off I do. If they pull that shady shit then I can block them after they're gone and they don't even know. They just never see me again.

Guy loged in

Repeat 200 times.

Finally one spoke and said cant see anything wrong with stream and he checked on mobile. No black screen no fuss.

Then guy logs in and guy logs out

Might record my screen on how bad it is and post ot on twitter for all to see as I am starting to think of totally giving SM up.

Wonder if its a bandwidth issue. On adultwork you need extra bandwidth just for iPhone.

I have to use the justcamit at 1.5mbps for the iPhone to be enabled.

So streamtes 2.1mbps should be fine.

I think Streamate are taking the piss with the requirements to cam and also the customers.

This is what happened to me last night. I wondered if my account is "broken"because no one can see me or they get kicked out of private every time. I have a great computer and fast enough internet. I see other girls banking so its frustrating to me. I am really at a loss why this is happening. Im considering joining a physical studio because I know I can make money but the tech side of stream ate has become impossible. any thoughts?

I am starting to wonder myself.

Its driving me insane how many logs in logs out a min I am getting. I tried an experiment and finally got obs working.

I set the picture to 1080p with 320 mp3 sound. And used 7,000kbps bandwidth. The laughable thing is this is only 15% of my cpu for that high a setting.

No change in rank at all. So the page 1 top rows cannot be knocked off.

Now I asked a few people from Twitter to come in the room. From australia USA East and west. France and Russia.

Not a single one had an issue with being in my room. Stayed and chatted for 30 min and enjoyed talking to me and each other. And they saw. Guy logs in. Guy logs out.

Yet for them a good selection of 4 corners of the world. They had no issues no delay no black screen sound was perfect and so was picture.

The Australian thinks the site is riddled with bots doing this. As you cant get in the room at the speed the logins and log outs happen.

Now no one on Streamate is pumping 7,000kbps into it as hell they must be using the encoder unless they have special encoders we dont.

Is anyone else having SMBroadcast problems? I always calibrate at [email protected] with "best" picture quality but it keeps calibrating me at some shit like 420x something with "moderate" picture quality and I have no idea why. I have a brand new high end laptop with super fast internet so I can only assume it's a problem on SM's end.

Update: Doing some backtracking and remembered that early this morning my computer did a BIOS update. Tonight is the first time camming since that update. Could a BIOS update possibly affect my streaming? I sure hope not.

Did you run a bios program to update? It is possible as not all bios updates are stable. Should always take caution when updating a bios as it can brick the motherboard. I always use duo bios boards so I dont get stuck on 1 that doesnt work. it might be worth checking which motherboard you have to see if it has this feature
