I just emailed support and Liz about a model within the first 2 rows so with good exposure, 99 % naked in free chat and I asked if that is allowed. According to the model it is. Lets see what they say.

They dont give a shit, especially if they're top row models. They give at most a 24 hours suspension, SOMETIMES. I got tired reporting one who's naked and rubbing genitals in free chat all the time. Is good for business, I know. Everyone goes to nudity, model earns, sm wins. The rules are not there for EVERYONE.

the same way other models get paid on other sites where people fuck in free chat.

the problem isn't them....

someone could literally run a zero dollar gold show. sorry to be blunt, but the issue is you.

No the problem is YOU and that fucked up attitude. Streamate is NOT a full nudity in free chat site and they have made that very clear. Every damn performer knows that and no one has the right to break that rule because you make it ten times harder on those of us that follow the rules. If you need to pop your pussy out in free chat to make money, go to MFC or Chaturbate. Cut the shit and stop the pussy in free chat period

Yes they do give a shit. A couple performers on the top few spots were recently suspended for more then one day for breaking rules. Best way to get action is to send them to Liz directly and let her handle it because they dont want full nudity either in free chat

Huh? The problem IS the models who break the rules. And no one should be fucking in free chat. Why would you expect guys to spend money on your Gold show/private show if you're already sitting there in free chat giving a dude a blowjob followed by sex? Congratulations, ya dingbats! Your room count just went up because you and your man couldn't contain yourselves...but you have earned $0...AND you have all kinds of freeloaders recording the FREE show that you've just given. *facepalm*

On Cams/Streamray they won't hesitate to issue you a violation message just for freakin' laying your head down for a minute and closing your eyes for like 5 seconds. Lol.

Im kinda of with Little sex bunny on this one. Why are you even looking at other girls?? How have you got time for that? Get on there and Hustle! Every guy on there is looking for something and its not gonna be the same thing for every guy so you still have a chance. If a guy is watching another couple fuck for free that means he still has money to spend so Go Get It! I never had any idea that anyone on the site was fucking in Guest chat. You know why? Because I was too busy entertaining my own clients for Gold!

That said I want to send out a huge fuck you to the SM glitches last week. I put in the 25hours they requested and even got over 1000 for the week but I fucking struggled all week long!! I hope they got it all back to running smoothly again cause last week was hell for me. I didnt even place in the top 200 and that is pretty unheard of for me.

It is looking like a small uptick this week. Last week started out really strong and then tapered off into an "average week" if you include the bonuses. The first 2-3 days this week is well above average, about what the trendline looks like for a normal late January.

Well, DeepThoughts...I don't cam on Streamate anymore. But that doesn't mean I'm not allowed to have an opinion just like the other ladies in this thread, or agree with what they're talking about. Did you forget the name of the thread? :P

And in response to your "Why are you even looking at other girls? How have you got time for that?" questions. No one is on cam 24 hours a day, ya know. :) There's nothing wrong with occasionally checking out other rooms (a lot of models on here do it...big deal), as long as you ain't going in there trolling models or starting shit.

The placement is just so weird right now. I would really like to know how they tweaked it. Cleared my cookies and top row girls are now 6 rows down. New models with hardly any comments or tags are on the first row often. And yes I am one of those models who checks on my day off and breaks. I even tip which is more than I can say about these boys this week

I just came here to read about these models going naked in free, because I was on the PUBLIC site not even logged in, looking at rooms just to see what kind of outfits the other Trans girls wear. And here is a bunch of 'em with their junk out in the air for everyone to see.... I just read the earlier posts, please let me give my angle on it.

I have a business angle on this. I could care less, except 1. I value my account so follow the rules. To a fault. 2. This kind of thing is in all likelihood diminishing the number of paid chats I engage in, because the next chick over is doing anything and everything FOR FREE! 3. The site rules should be for EVERYONE, not just selectively enforced.

It's likely the situation that they don't have the resources to monitor everybody. People will get away with this stuff. However, I will screenshot and report every one of them I see because it is diminishing my revenue. And that is just business.

Actually, anybody with any business acumen whatsoever will agree that eliminating competition, especially those engaging in unfair trade practices, is a valuable expenditure of resources.

that's pretty much all they've ever said to me if i reported someone, and then i never saw the girls actually get suspended, so i just stopped notifying support.

i've also used my customer account to report girls violating rules in real time (like a top spot girl who had her pussy out during her countdown) to the live chat support. they're usually useless too.

i get especially irked when a top spot girl is breaking the rules. it's literally the first girl on the front page. way to set a fucking example. i've gotten messages from the producer to turn my music off or some other minor violation, so it seemed apparent that they're closely monitoring those shows... yet a girl rubbing bare pussy during a guaranteed countdown somehow goes unnoticed? such bullshit.

if you "have time" to post on stripperweb like you're doing now, then you have time to browse streamate... whether that be during actual free time, or just during a slow moment in free chat. shouldn't matter anyway; that's not the point of the discussion.

maybe you had no idea that anyone was fucking in free chat, but surely you've had guys ask you for pussy in free chat? the more girls who break the rules by getting naked or fucking in free chat, the more it gets normalized on the site for the customers. one of my biggest pet peeves is when i get guys who think i'm lying when i refuse to do something because it's against the rules, and then the guy insists it isn't because he's seen a girl do it before. that not only goes for breaking free chat rules, but also taboo roleplay and other such acts that are not allowed on the site, that tons of girls seem to get away with.

it just perpetuates a shitty dynamic between customers (particularly those who have already seen or paid for things that are against the rules), and the girls who are actually following the rules.

JenniTS
01-31-2018, 05:01 PM
I could have probably made a MINT off that guy who was going around wanting to watch you step on bugs in high heels, but I didn't do it, because technically that would be a violation of the TOS. In theory they are still animals.

I'm sure one of these people who don't follow the TOS did just that. My fault for following the rules, right?

I also didn't do it because it is gross, but that's beside the point. Haha

We have several top row performers. They are not immune to the rules for sure. I've seen no favoritism in that regard.

Streamate doesn't necessarily police all the rooms 24/7. They do keep the video and can review it later, but they count on people to screen shot and report. Those reports do get read and action is taken. The wheels of justice turn slowly but surely.

Question: Has anyone experienced their broadcaster being super pixelated? I've tried two cameras (920 & 922) and it's doing the same thing to both. Relatively sure it's the broadcaster because skype shows aren't doing it, nor are my video recording programs for clips. I've uninstalled and re-downloaded smb but to no avail. help!

That use to happen to me .I think were put on different servers when were not making the right amount of money .One day for no rhyme or reason ,my feed was so pixelated it didnt matter what webcam or computer i used.Then a week later it fix itself ,after not giving a fuck .I had to lower my prices cuz i had to downgrade my setting to be able to cam on SM.

Try to downgrade your setting and cam on the lowest settings.

Yes, that is normal. Sometimes they label other rule breaking as "fraudulent activity" also when they send you the letter. Commonly it means that a majority of your shows were either charged back or from clients with stolen credit cards.

They don't ban you over a single bad payment, its for a consistent pattern of payments...if that is even what happened. They will label a number of things as "fraudulent activity", including anything from pedophilia to accepting PayPal.

It's in the contract that you signed. They can refuse payment to you at anytime if your account is banned for fraudulent activity. So yes, they can keep your money.

KatyBoleyn
02-02-2018, 03:17 PM
Its a general one. For the best quality picture that Streamate can handle, you need 2.5mbs (2551 kbps) upload speed dedicated. You can function adequately well with half that, provided your settings also match, but it will hurt your placement.

Amazingly b/c of me bitching about how I was getting a terrible connection, they sent me some link that measures my connection. They say you have to keep that specific browser window open which is impossible when you are working, so I have to get my website coder to help me figure out how to use it.

Anyone else ever use this? Or is it new?

If all the girls who show for free are OFF the site, the guys will be forced to spend money.

I see this all the time, it happens to me too. It often happens after I have an exclusive and go back into free chat. So I constantly close and reopen SMB and refresh my browser. I have to ask sometimes in free chat if the video is in sync. Sucks, and it is annoying af. Reminds me of those bad copy dvds you used to get back in the day lol.

Thanks

The default encoder settings (and the "best settings" template for other encoders) they use is based on trying to work at 2.5 up. If you have less than that, or using Wifi (which is unstable because radio waves), the encoder may not be able to auto-adjust itself downwards properly.

Katy, you seem to know more than SM support. So what happens when I see people vanish from my room, a few at a time ? What do you think? That can not be coincidental all the time. They all decided to leave, 2-3 at once. Numerous times a day. Not possible IMO. Its something technical that I can't figure out since they never come back to say what happened to them. They never come back.

At my other place my upload is only 0.75 and I couldn't stream even using the built in settings with no encoder. I had the same problem on Cams so for once this wasn't another SM issue lol. However I used to be able to stream with 0.30-0.50 so I'm unsure what the problem is now. If someone could point me in the right direction to fixing the
issue I'd really appreciate it as I will be back there for a week and can't afford not to work
