Placements been screwed since last Thursday, constantly being bumped and moved around, ridic. Think its broken. And to add note: I was dc'd 7x in a row before I could successfully stream tonight. hooray!


Could this explain why I keep moving backward in placement when I'm making more money in better time. All week long I've noticed shifts in my placement that don't reflect my improvement. my hourly is close to $100 yet my placement is falling backwards.

Is anyone else getting booted/disconnected off of streamate even though the internet is working?

Edit:
I see I am not the only person dealing with this crap. I am getting kicked out in the middle of privates and exclusive. It seems like all these problems started when they introduced the new settings over the summer.

I get booted off at least twice when I first log o.n. Then again maybe once or twice during my shift. A little box pops up and says "The streaming connection has been lost" bla bla bla..

Yep I get that box too. I never have connection issues when I am on skype or browsing other site like youtube. I have 50 download and 20 upload so I can be able to cam on SM along with spending a bunch of money on a i7 laptop. These issues need to be fixed before 2016 starts.

yeah we have time warner and we have 150 download and 35 upload. Its the fastest there is next to business class. So when support tells me its me, theyre full of fucking shit. I never get disconnected anywhere else ever. ONLY on SM.

I got disconnected last night during a gold show. I know it wasn't my internet bc my internet radio never stopped playing ( it usually does the second wifi glitches) my countdown timer just disappeared during my show and I was offline.

I was booted off during streaming last night as well as in a gold show. Few people came in complaining they couldnt see my video on occasion. It was frustrating trying to log in and out to try and correct the issue when i just wanted to work, after awhile i logged out hoping tonight isnt as bad.

Streamate support is frigging useless! I sent in a issue report for about the upteenth time explaining in detail what problems I am having, my specs etc. Their reply " try uninstalling Firefox because it might have adblocks that are incompatible with Streamate" . I don't have Firefox which I explained quite clearly in the first letter.

Hello all and Happy Holidays to ya! I hope all are doing well in the webcam business. It has been months since I have cam modeled but I find myself still wanting to stay in the business in some sort of way. Today I thought i would do a search to see what is still out there of me and only two pages in i find this site....(edit) I am beyond pissed however it does explain one of the reasons why I was not selling as many private shows on SM the last year... ugh

Most of us are aware of this site^^^SM is aware of this site but for those lurkers who are not could you please remove the link. The only real way to combat this is to not talk about it out in the open. Just like the peepers. This is a public forum and lots of people who think we're just camsluts and mean us harm.

Also I just wanted to add that you just gave anyone of these fools a way to not pay you buy showing them 21 pages of your videos.

I wasn't aware of that site. I tried looking for myself and didnt find anything thankfully but it does make me wonder. I wish we knew some girl hackers who could take care of it for us. That is just bullshit.. It's bad enough they upload and trade our filled content illegally now they've got a place just to download shows for free. It doesn't replace being there and requesting stuff though, so thankfully there seem to still be plenty of guys who do that

For some reason I got SM broadcast to work on hubbys computer but now that i'm back to my own computer, my placement has taken a huge nosedive and SMbroadcast won't calibrate now. It just crashes... grr...

I find SM very slow for me today and yesterday, i normally dont cam on sunday but i could not sleep anymore in the early morning here so i decided to get on, i was thinking it's slow cause is sunday & my off day for me most times but today is the same, wow, i just dont see the 'normal' traffic i normally get, i am making some money but my room is soo quiet most of the time :(. Wonder if it has anything to do with the new placement formula and all?!
Also i wonder if the SM broadcaster has a higher impact/ importance on site now than the FMLE let's say? I cam with the FMLE for now as the SM B. wont run smooth enough in my case but i just cant stop thinking the girls using the SM B. will get better exposure? Going to try the broadcaster just to see if there is a difference. Maybe i need to calibrate the thing again, will do this too.

ETA: switching to SM Broadcaster got me more people in my room and a nice pvt right after i re-calibrated, the picture is still the same, slightly jumpy but looks like my member did not mind?! maybe they see me just fine when in pvt?! I hope so ....

Broadcaster is still in beta. SM is placing girls higher who are broadcasting in 720.

Has anyone tried searching for their profile on SM and not had anything come up? I cant see myself anywhere on the site. I tried it with a vpn outside of my block zone then with no block zones. Still the same. Its like my SM account doesnt exist but I know it does because I can log on and have even made a few dollars from tips.

Hmm..tonight is seeming like a big waste of makeup. Nobody talking to me, banning people asking for free shit like crazy. I did my usual reinstalling the encoder routine, restarting my computer, checking my rankings. Basically I just wanted to bitch about my shitty night so far with no traffic yet again. Thats all lol.

I got on like 20 minutes ago and here is a perfect summation of what trying to cam on SM feels like so far today:
http://i.imgur.com/JLOJTLY.gif

My encoder has a lag, which has literally never happened before. Feed looks garbage (lag, freezing, etc) and I just got disconnected. Anyone else having issues currently? Trying to decide if I should just try uninstalling/reinstalling the encoder or what.

I was having a hard time calibrating the sm broadcaster for awhile but tried over and over a few times last night and it finally went through, i like the clarity of it just going to try it out and see how it goes tonight. I did notice a bit more traffic once i used it, but havent used it enough to really say for sure yet.

It's probably already been brought up in here, but I really wish we could block guys even after they leave the chat room.:(
I had a rough start last night on SM, esp. With freeloaders, and beggers galore.
My last straw was when I asked a new guy what he wanted to do, and answers, "Just hangout."
Argh, right? So I bring up his profile with my mouse on the block option, and just as I think he left, I go to block him....But he's hitting the Exclusive button! Shit!
I quickly unblock him, and thank goodness he came back, took me to exclusive to...wait for it...just hangout.:D

I was only able to hop on for a couple hours today, and as I think I've got one last guy, find out he completely wasted my last 10 minutes when he drops the "your exclusive button doesn't work"

Back in May a couple months into camming on SM, I upgraded my laptop and webcam because the encoder would boot me out of exclusives and privates non stop. I couldn't even run a goldshow because my processer on my original laptop was just so slow. Once I upgraded my laptop and cam, I found my earnings increased just due to actually being able to stream without constant problems on my end. If you are planning to continue camming for the foreseeable future, it may be a good investment to upgrade your equipment. That being said, there are glitches going on with the site lately that are affecting models who have even the best equipment, cams, and fastest internet speed.

I would also like to point out that for the longest time I never experienced any lag and had no idea what girls were talking about when they would complain about it. However when I started using the 720 settings I started to actually experience it, luckily it was only like 1 second lag. I had to upgrade my laptop recently and once I did I stopped experiencing any lag again. I know no one wants to hear that because they think the lag purely SM's fault but in my case it wasn't.

...........

Also, I was one of the chicks that could not get my SM broadcaster to work without crashing and I finally got it to install and this is what I did: Before I kept trying to upload it by calibrating with my logitech but on a whim I decided to let it calibrate with my built-in webcam and it finally successfully downloaded. Then I had the option to calibrate the logitech once it was downloaded so I did and it worked.

If you have your area blocked you wont be able to see yourself. Also did you try searching for yourself with a member account?

A lot of us have been getting our checks late. Usually comes by Wednesday, or Thursday, the latest.
I would personally wait until Friday, or even Saturday to reissue.
The first time it happened to me, I jumped the gun and did a reissue on Wednesday, and it arrived on Thursday. It became a huge pita.

Thank you Glamour. Im also thinking increased mail volumes at USPS for Xmas might be causing a delay. Hope it comes soon!

Btw..I must be in the zone bc I didn't notice any differences in placement for 720. I've been streaming 720 since I started on SM.

It's not a huge issue but regs are starting to make before going private and its costing me $$.

I had the exact same thing happen a few weeks ago. I re-uploaded them and then deleted the pending photo's and they were approved within a few hours. I figured that it was a glitch within the system! All previous photo's I have ever submitted have always been approved in under 6hours.

This is happening to me! i look for myself (no geo restrictions) and nothing comes up while i navigate the site, i search trhough all the pages and i even get to the end of the people online and nothing. I should appear in new models section becouse i started a new fresh account and nothing either. I only appear when i search my name in the search bar. It is so weird!
