My computer is over 10 years old so that's very possible. I really need a new one.
I restarted my computer and it works now! I just got so frustrated I wasent thinking clearly. Thanks for the suggestion! You saved my night.

I took a second to breathe and now I'm getting back into it. I definitely feel much better and less frustrated now.

why is there certain people I can't block? I thought maybe there was a limit per day or something, but I haven't blocked anyone today or the past few days.

It sucks because I give them a line then block them for emphasis and I'm just sitting here after my line going oops, I can't block them and they are still just sitting in my room all regal.

Fuck. Streamate still hasn't changed that awful banning feature? Smh. I haven't cammed on there in a long time, but I used to hate that shit. They also used to give me that same e-mail telling me how to ban people. Also, I remember that whenever a model had a complaint about the site, they'd basically blame it on the model not having an i7 processor. Um...plenty of cam girls have i7 processors, and are still having problems. So.....

There was ONE time I convinced them to ban a member for me. It had been this guy who thought it was cute to come into my chat room, take me premium (They don't let you deny premiums...you're basically forced into them), and end the session in one second. Then he'd come back and do it to me again. This guy, btw, never once typed a word to me. Just did that shit for his amusement. He was the only member on that site I could convince SM to ban FOR me. And, of course, because of how incredibly fast he left the chat when I tried clicking on his name, it was impossible to ban him in time...

Okay, so I'm glad I'm not the only one who's noticed that about CB. It's why I don't bother broadcasting on there. The 1-token tipping is absolutely ridiculous.

Where are you camming if not SM & CB? :)

If I give them 4 to ban, I think they do the first one & then ignore the next 3 b/c they always say they banned the user. Once the other day I got someone who must have found 2 of my e-mails (I separate them into 4's so as to not confuse their pea brains & she said she banned all 9.

I told one of them (I was pissed) that if they changed their site so we can ban the guy AFTER he's in our room, it would create less work for me & THEM. Of course they never responded back to that logic.

SM is NOT about to redo their whole site. That would be too much money out of their pocket I'm sure. Of course the morons who didn't think that we would need to block guys AFTER they leave the room were just THAT.



I've had two good regs recently pop into my room with new accounts.
When I asked them why they both basically gave me the same song and dance, they told me that another model told them they "signed up wrong" and that the site they used takes a bigger percent and pays models less. Obviously bullshit. I then asked them if the link she gave them instead was a cammodels.herusername address and they both said yes. Then they asked if they have been had and I told them no, but that they had been lied to and their old accounts were perfectly fine, the model was just breaking the rules by getting them to sign up under her instead. I didn't ask for her name but since they both told me almost word for word the same thing I'm assuming it was the same model that got both of them.

I wish I could report this in some way because it's super fucked up, but both of these guys left my room when they found out without spending (which was out of character for both of them) and haven't been back in weeks (again out of character, so I'm assuming they're pissed about being lied to and irritated they lost their reward levels over nothing), so I don't even have the accounts to give to support. While they didn't sign up under me so it's no sweat off my tits personally, they may have unknowingly signed up under another model and this girl is really out here stealing their signups.

What rewards do they get?

They just came out & told you they were previous regs?

Are you sure they were really still in your room? Like were they typing to you after you've blocked them? I ask because I remember there being a glitches where if you booted or blocked someone sometimes there name would still be in your room but the person wasn't really there. I had to disconnect and refresh the page in order for the name to disappear.

I didn't say they should redo their whole site. But this is the SM vent/complaint thread, and those were my complaints.

You keep the money if you decide to start the Gold Show, no matter if you reached your goal or not.

Yeh, but how do you get to the popup that allows you to start the GS? I thought that only shows up when no one has tipped, but maybe you are right, If they don't tip the full amount for the show (my prices are very low), I tell them they have to, so I don't often see what happens if they don't tip the full amount & I only remember them getting their money back when they hadn't b/c I won't do the show if they don't tip the full 5 :)



Considering SM...with gold shows, if you don't make the amount listed in the countdown do you keep that money or does it go back to the viewers?
For example a gold show and asking for "$200...help me reach my goal in 15 minutes"


Wow, $200, do you mind me asking what you offer for $200 & for how long?

Ginnyyy
12-25-2017, 07:22 AM
I only tried GS when they gave me the feature and kinda that s all so I can t tell you accurately but in the last minute or the last 30 sec, it will appear the pop up asking you whether you want to start your GS or not. Also when the goal is hit earlier you will get( I m not 100% sure) that pop up asking for your confirmation.

You're nicer than me, I don't do anything. Anyone who tips a buck I assume is doing it just to do it, and if they actually were to ask for something for it I'd block them because that's honestly insulting and I'd assume they're a troll.

Right?
Like fuck it, I kept let it happen. They stayed for a moment then dipped.
At first I figured maybe they thought I had
An interactive vibe. But I've never advertised and that's never happened. Probably came from a token site or something possibly. Because short of a peek at my toes I don't know whod be doing anything for a buck.

Can we sign up with them even if we work for another studio? Will we lose our accounts/favs/comments/reviews? I've been with my studio for almost 10 years and the guys that run it are good friends of mine. It would suck to leave them but they have slowly but surely over the years moved away from porn stuff into other ventures. I would love to have daily pay but I'm not sure I wanna start all over

Yep, they are on, they are still active. I click on their name and the icon to block comes up but when I try to click on the icon it does NOTHING. but they are still talking and active in the room.
I'm going to try and record it next time it happens.

Whats up with the promoted SquirtMania shows? Goal 99. Really? Show started with 1 tipper. 7 $ for 30 min.
Who can compete with that? Im assuming the porn model is reimbursed separately and alot better. And the show is recorded for a future sell.

12-29-2017, 04:15 PM
Do you mean the potentials? If so, try letting the code box (If youre using external encoder) set for about 40 seconds. The box that gives you your codes to put in. Sometimes mine disappears, then I figured out that for some reason if it doesn't appear before I log on, it wont.
If you mean the freechat, you cna turn it on and off in the more settings. If you rebooted your cache it will reset to default.

ALso, does anyone know if the bonus pay will be added before or after the amount resets? Like, If i dont make payout (Took most the week off for holidays) will it go to next weeks pay, or the week after?

Edit: Uhg, my signatures so big and gaudy. Ill remove most of it when I get home.

The guy comes in, leaves, but his handle is still there.

They say hello, but b/c I'm in the direct messaging area just for him, it doesn't show up & he leaves. I don't see the message until he leaves when I should have seen it.

Happened 4 times, twice for each issue :(

Yes

I don't use their Notes feature as I record EVERY guy who comes into my room in my Excel file, but you need to click on that popup in order to get his ID number or PM him privately so the others don't see what you are tying as I found guys run away when they see you talking to someone else (at least in my room), so yes, when that's open I'm having this problem, but it's not all the time, it's only been in the last few weeks the odd time & especially yesterday.

yea, Its called " They just leave!" syndrome lol
Seriously , how exactly do you know they left, since the username is still in the room.
I experience lots similar to this. My Major one is : I read inside the chat, username x says hello. I reply with audio " Hello" and attempt to look at the username list. And he is not there.

Ginnyyy
01-03-2018, 11:43 AM
Seems like you'll have to only type in public until support fixes it.:'(
Ya, in my room also, guys get confused why I'm suddenly typing in another language or thanking somebody else, because I am always in Classic Chat and they can t see what others type (but guests can see everything, go figure) and they can t quite seen to acknowledge there are others too, not just them in there.
I sometimes type in PMs, sometimes public, nowadays rarely oral, 'cause some don t have their sound turned on, plus- it's more tidy (for me). There are many French guys on SM and when somebody tells me they can t hear me when my sound is actually ON, I know it's French. 9 out of 10 it's true. :)))

Often your camera can be on a delayed feed from several seconds to several minutes. This can be very confusing to people barking orders in text chat, thinking you're intentionally delaying doing things or not paying attention to them. They will see your text responses immediately though, even if it looks like you type it 30 seconds later.

I totally get it. so what can be the best compromise? constantly talking acting as if there is no delay at all? ......or letting them know there might be a delay.

This is an issue that's been around for years. My solution was to have a rapid-fire text message ready to go to respond. The problem is that there's no way of knowing exactly how long the delay is - it could be nothing or it could be a full minute or more depending on time of day. They can see your response by text immediately in the chat box, its the sound and video that are on a delay. Yes, you can let them know that your feed might be on a delay. In public chat, you are mostly just "playing to the room" in general instead of having a 1 on 1 conversation, so its not as big a deal.

I really hope it is just side money for them (which I assume), bec they always have low goals and start no matter what... I guess it falls more under a voyeur goldshow

It is listed in one spot of the pay adjustments but not the other, when I click on the link for the dated section, then go to pay adjustments it shows the Christmas bonus and the Christmas Contest. In the totals for my check it is: my regular pay, Christmas Contest and New Years Contest, with those totals adding up to the amount the check was issued for. I e-mailed support and am hoping this is just an accounting error, wanted to see if anyone else had the same thing going on.

I didnt get my bonus added either. The bonus was generated on Dec 29th 2017. Now this pay period, I was really expecting to be paid. Im angry .We all need our money. When we work its already generated of the take out percentage, even if it was 10 bucks we work hard for it. I email Liz. Im just waiting for an reply. I look on my payment history nothing that says Additional Compensation. How they can cut any pay without being charge for First Choice Pay wired etc, for the other performers. Hah seems like its a lot of performers now. Unless there"s a new person in the Financial Dept?

It will be a separate payment though. You get it this week if your bonus is over payout. They admitted they messed up. From an accounting perspective the way they posted/worded/dated/paid this bonus was a mess.

I know that but the amount shouldnt matter at all. People worked for a bonus, even if its $10 they shouldnt have to wait another week. They had two weeks to get this into accounting

Oh I am not defending them in this. I was just paranoid about this happening from the beginning. You don't cut a bonus two weeks after someone's earnings, if it is not tied to the earnings in some concrete way it get's messy. Someone in accounting should have stepped up and figured this out.

Also just putting their mistake just on Twitter is unprofessional. I don’t use social media much so if I didn’t use this forum I wouldn’t have known. They should pay back with interest to make it better. They should keep performers in the loop especially when it comes to the money that we worked our pussies off during the holidays.

What's the best way to check if the site is glitchy? I keep getting custs telling me its lagging. Looks good from my side but the video on SMB keeps adjusting size, but the stream health all looks good.
Is it just me? or others lagging also?
