Oh great another week long bullshit contest. I wonder if they're up to something on the site. Seems like a pretty insane prize amount for a random week in january.

I was thinking it was because it's AVN week.

Hi to all of the sexy ladies around. On the week starting December 24,i have been sick like a dog ,i could work just few hours so that week ended up with a $75 . I expected these $75 to be reported to my next pay week- i have settled my min pay to $100- but that did not happen , not the next pay period ,not now. They are not a pile of money, but they are mine . I emailed to the SM support and got no answer . Can you be that kind and sweet and tell me what is the Liz email ? I tried the search thing but sent me to the whole thread . Can you help me with Liz's email , pretty, pretty please ? Thank you in advance .

Holy crap.I it's just a few hours before I plan to start my shift. So doing my nails
And I usually browse through the girls rooms
Because it's super motivating....most of the time.
It looks soooooo dead out there, not exactly
Looking forward to my shift tonight.

Maybe I'll grab a small bottle of wine to help me
Through it.

Hats off to the ladies sticking it through right now

Oh MAN. This is my second account with SM and I have literally almost never been able to stream successfully. I have a new computer and tried all of the encoders, with different settings, but my audio STILL lags. I finally emailed them, and after getting a canned reply to a question I didn't ask, they told me my internet was too slow and I couldn't use wireless internet (which, sure, ok, I have the fastest internet available in my region - if I can't stream without a cable, I would think that no one can). I'm going to buy an ethernet cable tonight, and if that doesn't work, I'm probably going to officially give up on Streamate and try somewhere else.

Being hardwired does make a HUGE difference, promise ;)
When I first started I was in the same denial until I went ahead and did it.

To say it's obvious a contest is starting in a few days is an understatement - frame drops, user connection issue with nearly every guy that popped in, video and audio lags if they got video and audio at all, being kicked off over and over again and just an all-round shit show for almost my whole shift. Ridiculous we just want to work, earn our money and log off SM is that too much to ask?!

Its pretty much a given that they run these contests when the techs are working on things so there is a continuous stress testing (for the system, not the models!).

I wonder... I mean.. are they willing to pay 10-15$ K in prizes( or whatever it adds up to) just to test stuff while they are implementing it? doesnt make sense to me.

The math works really well actually. When there are real systemic issues, the model count will drop precipitously. The model count dropping in half will bite into their bottom line. That contest will keep models, especially high earners, online and pushing through when they'd normally just pack it in and wait. $10k to save $2 million+ in business works quite well.

This is how you know if its "just you" or "SM sucks right now"...watch the model count. Rarely, about twice, maybe 3 times a year, SM actually does have real issues. When it happens you will see the model count drop like a rock.

Oh I'm more than aware of this fact I just think it's unfair that the models are who suffer when we are the ones who bring them all those millions if the site is working correctly. I'd rather they shut the site down completely and fix it properly than 'stress-test' their site while us girls scramble for whatever scraps are left of the guys who can log on and stay on. Still didn't stop me from making double my goal yesterday more eggs, more baskets and all that.

I'm loathe to defend SM for any reason... but with web development, you can't test whether your fixes are working unless you're doing constant testing with actual real-life users. They have to keep models using the site, because they can't predict the bugs.

They're still twats though, because they don't communicate this honestly.

i am hard wired in and i was really pixellated tonight. I had 2 pvts all night.

Same here, I don't usually have problems, I don't get why all of the sudden its like this. I have the best internet speed I can get from anyone where I live and I have it connected by ethernet. I know, I drilled a hole into the wall to get it into the room!
Even today the sm encoder keeps adjusting sizes, which means the speed is all over.

They should fix the problem before doing another contest.

What really really really did I say really bugs me when SM has problems/ issues/ bugs/ lice or ants is that I can not tell if and when thats the case for my stream. People come in and out as usual. 99 % do not say they have issues. They just vanish. Maybe they see the private logo, maybe they see a black screen, maybe Im frozen and they dont bother to say it. Who knows!? So Im sitting there talking, acting cute, no money made( or very little ) for 3-4 hours , randomly refreshing, restarting pc and so on. Meanwhile the PAID % drops and my placement tanks next few days cause of this vicious circle.. If I 'd not come here and see others are having problems I wear Id die of heart attack thinking its JUST me.

Are you saying its our "fault", as models... its our internet, computer, specs , whatever? And its not the site? Im just asking to understand you better, Im not arguing. So all the models who come here and complain and they hear their members complain, whats the deal with us? Could it be just us? I just wish I'd know the what the problem is, so I can try to fix it, thats all. When this happens Im making 10 % of what I normally make. But my bills are still the same.

KatyBoleyn
01-19-2018, 04:47 PM
That's what people have to understand...there's about a million things between Streamate and you where things can go wrong that you still may have no control over. These things may effect "just you" due to specific circumstances, but its not indicative of a general SM problem. The USA, in general, has some of the shittiest internet in the world because of private monopolies. Streamate becomes the punching bag, but it is actually very uncommon that it is a system-wide issue for the models.

you can manually opt out of resizing in the encoder.

so plus side, finally seeing familiar names and faces and have been decently busy. Negative: why is it popping up with my sound being loud EVERY time I do deep throat? I just got my lips done I am being real low key on that. Second, and this is not explained by my internet; why does it keep saying I am in private while in freechat? I know this isn't new problem but it is the most frustrating glitch. Perhaps someone with more knowledge can tell me the cause of that because that seems all streamate.

I did a ping and it proved SM has a slow spot between me and their server. I sent it into SM and they admitted its on their end and they know they need to upgrade servers. They were suppose to build a server hub a couple years back but I havent heard if they did or not. I never have any glitches on any other cam site so I know its them

Streaming over wifi is never recommended. Your internet quality helps with placement too and ethernet cables are inexpensive! It's definitely the way to go. Having a HD webcam, a mic and good paid chat percentage also determines your placement. Good luck and go shopping girl!

^That's a bit of a stretch to say that "Wi-Fi is never recommended." Lots of us use Wi-Fi, and have great internet connections. But you are right about ethernet being better.

Welcome to the forum, by the way. :)

^^I don't think that's a stretch. While there may be plenty of chicks who are able to successfully use wifi I haven't seen anywhere that recommends using it over hard-wiring.

So my gold show just started itself with a minute and a half left in the countdown and 100 more gold to go to reach the goal. And I keep getting a pop up saying my audio is messed up and to turn my mic down, yet I sound fine. The glitches are certainly flooding in...

I got an audio notification too, but it was right after
I did a very loud cackle of a laugh that I'm sure
shot it way up there lol

I suppose I feel better it may have been a glitch.
Didn't effect my stream as far as I could
Tell so I just dismissed it.

Im getting the audio notification all the time, especially with GS's. When Im in a GS the tips dont show up, I can only hear them but it doesnt tell me who or how much was tipped in in the Private window only in the guest chat window and I have a 16 second lag. I also just realized that I have to put in 25 hours to qualify for the 100 bonus on a $1000. I never do 25 hours a week!! But its free cash so Im gonna try to stick it out

dont get too detailed ;)
if someone wants to know the exact minutes, pm me bec I know how many

same applies on here as on the ....sec inside pvt/excl
make sure they stay longer than that time, dont take them to serious before they do. Also call them out of it on a next time (make a note and tell them their ass will be blocked if they act like that ever again)

Does anyone know how to stop my settings from going back to default (using Opera). What I mean is: every time I log on I have to manually reset SM broadcast, Party Chat...etc.. ALso the GOLD SHOW Set up info is going blank.. As if my credentials are wiped away. They used to stay the way I set them. Why does it do that>?

Blovely
01-23-2018, 10:00 AM
^Try restarting your computer. If that doesn't work right click on the broadcast page, click settings and then the second icon that shows an eye, make sure allow and remember are selected, next click the icon that shows a folder make sure allow is selected and then click close.
