About the malware I just posted on the camming sucks age. Nothing to be alarmed about.

I still use FMLE because the saturation on the SMB makes me look like an Oompa Loompa.

I'm orange. Literally orange. My placement is lower but I can at least make money. I'm a woman not a gingerbread man. The SMB makes me look like Donald Trump and it's just not good for business.

So, here's the issue acknowledgement part 2: SM has added a detailed bug report form featuring the glitches we've listed here. Can't believe this.

47299


Hopefully the feedback we provide will be actually put in work not right into the trash.

Ive got the most annoying echo on my audio its just repeating over and over on encoder and broadcaster. A whole hour mucking around this morning and little further forwards if at all.

02-03-2017, 09:08 AM
So I go to log in and my webroot tells me there's .32malware.gen or something when I try to start the SMB??? I hit repair and it still did it.

i'm having this issue as well. What are you suppose to do?

02-03-2017, 09:20 AM
Having so many issues with audio being out of sync. Normally a restart of my browser and smbroadcaster works, but its just so annoying having to restart every so often. Anyone know a fix? I'm using the latest version of the smb, computer is fine, not a lot of cpu being used etcetc. I guess it started happening since I updated to the new broadcaster. UGH. thanks girls

So far I am not using the new broadcaster , just FMLE.. was wondering if anyone is noticing a drop in earnings? .. I ask because I am just working sporadically while my sister is here on vacation .. so I dunno if it's just still shitty or it's me?

Tigrillo
02-03-2017, 11:05 AM
From own experience and what I've read here, it's shitty for everyone. I've readjusted my daily goal to 50% what I was expecting to make in the period from Sept-December. The money and the work are still there, but it takes way longer to do it and it's frustrating with glitches/dead periods etc. Enjoy your time with your sister.

There is no traffic today. Yesterday was fine. I contacted the site through the new mesg. system from inside the SM broadcaster and referred them to this thread. Again. Maybe if more models do that, refer them to this thread, they will start to listen.

I work with an older version like my sig says, PM if you want it.

I got disconnected 3 times last night. Oy vey! Anyhow, I checked my ISP and my net is absolutely fine. It bothers me when SM starts to have issues because that site is my bread and butter. I'm going to send an email to support this evening regarding my issues. Hopefully, they are working on their end to resolve the issues. Only time can tell!

Regarding The issues with sound. If a guy tells me in free chat, that he can't hear me, ( while others say they can), I type to him that the sound will work in private and exclusive.
It has worked 100% of the time. They then say they can hear me fine.
I waited to post this until I experienced this with close to a hundred customers.
You might want to try it.
At this point, ......it couldn't hurt.:D

They know about this forum and thread. At least 3 SM reps are members here and Vanessa and Liz have posted on this forum in the past. They know about the issues...models and members spam the shit out of them with complaints through the support form and Twitter. We've been complaining to them for what like 4 years now. They do not want to listen for whatever reason. Like Selena said they seem to not care as long as they make profit above a certain threshold. I do wonder though if studios complain or have been complaining to them. I've been wondering what they tell studio owners.

Well I just realized that last night early morning for me it picked up for me & I made some decent money BUT only when I stopped split camming with my other site. I've tried different browsers to no avail, I guess my cheap walmart mini laptop can't handle 2 sites at once bc each time i try the guys entering try to interact with me but all say my frame & stream is laggy/jumpy until I log off then restart everything just running SM. Sux but looks like they've somehow made the site this way to keep us ladies from splitting. This happen to anyone else yet?

And yes i'm not using the SMbroad crap thing just plain ole High fullscreen setting.

I attempted Streamate yesterday, but just couldn't bring myself to press the broadcast button. The last several times have resulted in less than $10 for 1-3 hours of time, and my customers have been total dickwads. That, and the low payout percentage, are really depressing to me. I think I'm finally done with this site.

i get no traffic on this fucking shit site granted i don't go on consistently but i am talking like maybe 5-10 ppl in an hour and mostly freeloaders..? the fuck is wrong with it. it's like these losers know how much shit i talk about streamate and send me no traffic lmao worst site ever for me.

this has been going way too long I'm convinced this can't be real fucking traffic just nothing but trolls... & what's up with the silence for hours then randomly everyone wants to chit chat all of a sudden? Yes, there will be bad days, everyday cant be peaches & cream but earning $100 or below while putting in crazy 30/ 40 hrs a week... ?

I am using the FMLE, and since the new sm broadcast came out (and the announcement that we would be given better placement for using it) I find that I can not do things like browse Sephora in another window without making my feed look yucky.

What an absolute dumpster fire this site is like 80% of the time now. I got up early today in a vain attempt to salvage this horrendous week and it's been dead AF, had two level 4 spenders come into my room a few times and unceremoniously disappear forever with a "user connection issue" of course. I'm so fucking mad. Hate this.

I remember when they were actually nice to the models when you contacted them...not anymore :(

I've deleted your second comment on this thread. So what I have to say is not in response to this one just in case anyone gets confused. I feel that you only came here to throw shots at people who are panicking and in turmoil, and Im sorry thats not gonna fly. So I will not give you the satisfaction of throwing shots and leaving your post up for your pleasure.

You shouldn't past judgement on someones experiences because they aren't on the first page or top row. Also its a bit mean spirited. Models from the top of page one to the very back of the site are experiencing major problems. I'm glad things are working out for you, but please try to use a little more compassion when engaging people in a vent thread or anywhere on this forum.

I had an "OK" night. Or afternoon I guess. A lot of ins and outs and disconnects. A LOT of guys complaining about issues. I even got one guy to tell me some more detailed stuff in pvt. I made a point to ask my regs and some new guys when we went pvt if they had been experiencing any issues. A couple of guys said everything has been just fine but most said that things were iffy. The guy that was more detailed in his response said he has been experiencing all the typical shit we have been talking about... out of sync audio, black screen, flickering screen, cant take some girls private or exclusive, cant turn on his cam etc. I told him to try to weather through it and keep coming back because they are working on it and working on making the switch to HTML5.

I wish Liz had been more truthful in her response to me about a month ago.. I had hope when she said t be patient and that they DO listen to the models and are working towards a solution. Everything I have seen in the month since has shown me that those things are simply not true. I feel like it was a PR message and nothing more, and that they really dont give a flying fuck about the models and customers complaining as long as they are making money. If they did they'd have had this bullshit fixed 2 years ago. I'm just going to make as much money as I can I guess :-\

2 disconnects in the middle of 2 different shows. The broadcaster just disappears and then the start show button is green.
On top of it took me alot of fiddling with the computer to get my webroot to accept their broadcaster. The less money I make the more I realize I can make that piddly amount on another site with less issues.

That was happening to me last wed and fri, the last two days I worked. I thought it was just me because I tried to download verysoft and it was conflicting. But after I uninstalled it still kept just shutting off on its own. On friday it didn't do it as much and then I was able to stay on two hours without any issues. I guess that should be a sign that the problem isn't on my side. I only made money from a topspot gold show, but I WAS just starting to feel sick and over it. I did have some traffic, but again, I was coming down with something and I was just over it.

I really wanted to go on today, but I'm still in bed, hope you all had a good superbowl sunday!

I don't think they're doing it on purpose so we cant play music. Its just that the site is really messed up. And yes my feed is one of the smudgy ones. I've noticed some models who's music is always crystal clear now seems to be a bit distorted. But not like mine. Im glad that I realized now that its not me.

you never know with these people. sneaky bastards...

but man i really want to be able to play music. I had just resigned myself to never being able to again... and I also really would like to be clear on cam like some other girls. I have the C920.. its BS. Why cant their site ever fucking work right? Its been 2 YEARS we have been dealing with bad glitches like this. I am surprised they even still have a business at this point.

I don't think they're doing it on purpose either. I could tell it was a glitch because I tried a different device and there was no crazy feedback. I haven't had the issue since then. Been able to play music from my phone fine since then.

I tried doing a new account a few months ago (ended up going back to my old account). I ended up contacting Liz because it was taking so long for support to approve it. She approved my account either the same day or the next day that I contacted her. Pretty much all of the issues from months ago are still present. I wouldn't put all of my attention into or on SM but its still a good site to split with, there is still money to be made on SM.

I received a response that I didn't see in my email (guess it got drowned out) it seemed to be a copy and paste response telling me to recalibrate the SMB. I'm over it. This is the push I needed to start taking indie serious. Definitely not worth the stress anymore . SM will always be my baby, just not my full time baby anymore.

The struggle is real at the moment. Room is dead although somehow the spenders are getting through and as for c2c >:( it is taking customers up to 5 times cancelling and re-sending their cam to be able to c2c. How do I know this? My customers (new and regs) have been patient enough to keep trying just to show me their dick instead of a black screen! That is such a cock-block for these horny men.

I am so angry right now, yes I'm making money but nowhere near as much as I should be with the hours I'm putting in.

yes, It happens to me . I discovered that if you press "ENTER" on your keyboard while typing your room topic(as to start a new row), it will not allow it therefore it will just display your "My show" profile.

I was just checking out some rooms as I do when it is slow for some entertainment and visited your room. Sorry to say Lexie but you are nothing but a blur and you get even more pixelated when you move... I know it is SMB and you probably have a kick ass tech setup but thought someone should tell you.

THank you. I've seen (and reported) it, and I should say it happens somewhat randomly. Some people get the blur, some see me just fine. I check my room, and the feed is nice and clear, then I refresh and it's pixelated AF, and the SMB says all is peachy. I have a widget on showing the bandwidth usage, and I can say for sure there was no sudden dip - so it's probably on the site's end. I saw it happen in other rooms, as well - including the top row ones.

Lol a cherry on the top: SM blocks "unappropriate" chat messages from members without notifying you or the sender. Have just lost a potential sub for being unable to find out about his limits as his messages were blocked. I could only guess he'd sent a message because he'd ask "would it be ok with you?" after. He tried like 5 times and then gave up. LOL (not really). I now wonder how many guys got pissed off and left because of thinking I were ignoring them while I had no idea they were trying to communicate in the first place. It would be really sweet of SM to show some sort of notification every time a message gets blocked.

I would like to know how they determine whats appropriate and what isn't? Because I get called a n*gger once a week. How does that word slip through? Or skype?
