High tips showing in gold show countdowns were broken as fuck for me today.
Not only was it not showing the guys even though I have that option marked, but it wasn't showing for ME on my end at all.
Real hard to get tip wars going when you can't keep track of whose in the lead.

Just checked my placement. I am in 6th place if you sign in from USA/CAN and 1st if you sign in in Europe. I have been logged on now for half an hour and there is just zero people talking to me. After 20 mins one guy asked "Do you like karate"

This doesnt happen to me! I always have tons of guys! What is going on?? I really think its about time to take my ass to some different sites. This is suppose to be the best time of year for cam right? #Fail

^^^The Star Wars Premiere was last night at Midnight. A lot of my guys stopped in early to say hi but they all had to leave to go get ready to wait in line LOL.. that's why I didn't even bother staying logged in, I figured it was going to be an extremely slow night between that and football. :(

Well shit even this morning sucked for me. 2 hours and just a bunch of freeloaderd, creepers and people popping in and out instantly. I hate I can only do a couple hours in the morning. Hopefully when I'm able to jump on for an actual shift tonight it goes better, because that was so fucking frustrating >:( after hour 1 I was ready to slam my shit shut, but reminded myself I'm only gonna get 2 hours for right now as it is so to JUST STAY THE FUCK ON. Didn't pan out but hey, I got to see how my new bras and panties looked ;)

I was just coming to see if anyone else was experiencing the same.. I'm usually in the top 4 rows, and tonight I started off mid page 1 and was top of page 2 by the time I signed off. I also noticed that placement of other models who are in the top around me were bouncing all over the place in random as well. Sometimes my placement would bounce low for a few minutes, and resetting the (old) encoder would help fix it, but tonight was really weird. I should mention I was on the new encoder, no blips in my streaming and my internet is perfect. :-/

Monica_Lovely
12-18-2015, 11:46 PM
Ok.....I'm so glad I'm not the only one experiencing it. I'm usually bottom of the home page or very top of second page, and all the way at the bottom of the 3rd page around models I've never even seen before :)

I don't even wanna get on SM the past 3 days....well cuz I got a cold and don't feel like putting up with the wonky placement and broke ass custies (either broke from xmas shopping or not around due to the Star Wars movie). I bet the placement glitch is because of their "720 placement change" on Tuesday.

Yes I agree with the place situation, im usually on bottom of page 1 and was on page 3 yesterday yikes, definitely felt the effects.. Anyone using the new 720 thing and their placement still being messed up?

Hi Everyone! I'm streaming right now and I'm 5 rows down from where I normally am. Video bitrate keeps resetting from 300 back to 2k. Is this normal?

I've noticed placement is being weird as well. I've been using the new 720 settings for a few months and I have geoblock on so I can't see myself, but with the way traffic has been since Tuesday when the 720 placement went into effect, I can't help but to think I am on page 9128 or something. It was a ghost town the second I logged in on Tuesday. I felt like no one could find me. I was streaming for 5 or 10 minutes before someone finally popped in my room!

I definitely feel that traffic has been pretty bad for me since the new placement changes, but I am hoping things will change for the better soon...

does anyone know how long it takes to get your id approved? mine expired and i already sent it in but no response yet and of course im temp suspended from broadcasting..

According to my understanding 5 - 7 days, but maybe faster? I know, PIA.^

No, that is good! Mine is 853 and it is slowly rising every time I broadcast, since I have upgraded my computer specs and internet upload.

Im about to restart my computer, though i doubt it will help. This is such shit and i know its not my fucking internet. BULLSHIT.

Why do you think you need a profile with a CC? Do you have geoblock on? If not, username.cammodels.com you can check yourself on computer, phone etc. but I doubt it's your sound having issues, SM guys are notorious for that. Try to say hi & talk to the room in general, not individuals. If you want DM your cam link and I'll check your sound/feed for you. :)

Alright sorry for blowing this thread up, but i really am trying to figure this shit out. When i went to my cam (which by the fucking way i have CA on my blocked list since DAY ONE and it says that its a restriction so WTF is going on there?) and its about 20-30 second delay. I went a re-read requirements to make sure that i met them all, and sure a shit, of course my equip met all requirements, but still something is wrong. it completes calibration, but im almost positive something is up because my room was D E A D last night. Maybe 1 or 2 beggars and like 0 creepers which that has never ever happened to me. I can most definitely take it if i had a shitty 4 hour shift, because in this line of business thats going to happen, but i mean come on, by the end of the night a total of 7 or 8 men had started conversations with me to just literally leave in the middle of them which normally only happens if they asked a question and i gave an answer that didnt please them. Out of no where my chat would say 5 or 6 people logged in and out, like an obvious slap of fucked upness. I even sat in silence for the last hour as a sad last attempt and hope that it was my pandora fucking shit up.

What have you guys done to attempt to remedy these problems? ANY TIPS AT ALL, is it me? my equipment? internet? SM itself? Because the main thing i see associated with being SMs fuck ups is the placement. i didnt have other tabs open, i did stream music until the end but it hadnt made a difference.
I tried to wait it out because sometimes you gals say shit gets rolling but sad face of the year, it didnt for me last night and before i go uninstaling and reinstalling shit i want to see what different things worked for you guys. I tried finding some answers but a lot of them are vague like "i was able to figure it out" or "i ended up rearranging some things etc etc" but of course, thats very vague lol

Yep. Same here. I've moved to page 3/4. Haven't been able to get any better than that since last week. IDGAF what my placement is like typically... but when you drop down to making less than 15/hr for months at a time due to site issues, and now the placement change ...fuck you streamate. We're breaking up. All I ever have to say about them since august is how shitty they are. Maybe it will get better for you ladies, I really hope it does

I'll check your stream for you too if you like. I've been having a tough few days too, don't know if it's placement or Star Wars, but I never experienced complete deadness or guys leaving suddenly in the middle of a conversation. That definitely sounds like something's up. I'd contact SM support.

Thank you, honestly that helps, hearing i may not bw entirely crazy. I'm gonna do some shit to my computer just in case it's effecting performance though I doubt it. It was rainy and windy last night so maybe my Internet connection? I'm gonna get on tonight and see if there's any difference even though the weather is the same. THEN I'll contact support, it's just from what I've seen on here support can be of absolutely no help and before I go through that I want to make sure I've done everything I can to make sure everything is good on my end. Uhgg, I really just hope I can figure it out, fingers crossed.

Ugh had at least 5 guys say that they can't see me because the screen is blank. Tried the break button still nothing. Ummmm SM what's the point of releasing new settings if guys can't see us....kind of defeats the purpose, no?

12-22-2015, 08:16 AM
I saw someone else mention that when using SMBroadcast and trying to calibrate, the process stopped at 24%. That happened to me a couple of times but then it started calibrating to 100% the next day. Not sure why that happened.
I stopped using SMBroadcast because it wouldn't broadcast me in 720. It calibrated me at 720 but during streaming, it kept dropping me down (I forget what it dropped me down to). But I have no problem streaming at 720 with the encoder, so I'm continuing with that.

Can I ask what the fuck the point is for the "group message" option on Streamate if they never approve any messages to be sent out?? Tried to send one out to let the guys know I'd be on over the holidays.. and they said "we can't approve this message because we really don't have a way of making sure that will happen, or that it's accurate."

... umm..what? I want to go into the Streamate office and smack every one of those idiots in the head. I'm trying to promote more money for YOUR site, you dillholes.

12-22-2015, 11:15 AM
What? Well, they did reject my first group message for whatever reason. I didn't word it properly. The last 2 they approved but I worded it very carefully and very short. I did in both approved messages say that I was "going" to be online at a future date. So that's cra cra I think it depends ENTIRELY on which one of two customer support guys you get. One guy likes it, the other guy "hated it" sounding like Blaine Edwards from "men on men"

I deleted and trashed the one they rejected, but I don't think they liked the subject line: "Hi Guys" I think they want it more personalized. But how do you do that when they nit pick it?

Did the four star rating bring down your overall rating by a lot? If so, then contact Liz and write what you wrote here and attach the screenshot of the 1m 8s. If your overall rating is still 5 stars then don't worry about it.

Sorry this happened to you. I had some twat do that to me last night. I just told my regs who came in after him to make sure to rate a 5( i promised them a vid if they did).
P.S. Make sure to leave a note on his profile to block him the next time he comes into chat.)

They think that a 4 star is good but they dont realize how it looks for us, because it affects our star rating. I get pissed off too when i get anything less than a 5. I look at 4 stars or less just like 1 almost haha

Marina Starr
12-22-2015, 12:04 PM
SM doesn't remove 4 star because they don't consider that a bad rating but there are exceptions.
I would write them saying you can't do everything in over a minute and feel you were rushed. Tell them to 'PLEASE help me remove the unfair rating'. Don't ask :)
Worst they can say is no! That always works for me.

I'm not fucking kidding, 1 minute in after getting my top and bra off I go to sezily slide down my pants and he straight says "I don't like lace" and just leaves and gave me a 1 star. I didn't know you could get them removed! Because that's why I'm 4.5 stars! Every other rating is 5. Fucking laceaphobic asshole. I feel your pain!
