I swear all I have to do is say Hi how are you? and they log off like clockwork.

I think I'm cursed no lie lol all i have to say is Hi.
User logged off.
wash rinse repeat

Yeah, we had a discussion about this very thing a while back on another forum after some guy posted that he wished models would greet members more when they enter the room. Lol. Me and another model told him that when us models do that, guys will usually run outta the room so fast. I think some of these guys are gonna just do the pop in and out the room thing REGARDLESS of whether or not we say hi (and I know it's annoying as fuck...I'm a polite person who will always say hi back when spoken to, but these guys couldn't care less about good manners...lol). And they're probably popping in and out the room hoping to catch us in the middle of a titty flash, because you'll see the same motherfuckers popping in and out the room quite a bit throughout your shift. And other guys probably are just uncomfortable with being singled out (when we greet them by name), and may feel like the next thing out our mouth will be "So are you gonna take me private?" Lol. Sometimes I'll just say "Hey, guys!" and wait to see who actually says hi back. Other times I'll just smile at the camera when people come in the room, and wait for them to speak first, so my speaking to them doesn't send them running for the hills. :P I feel like, USUALLY, regulars who have a number by their name are the cool ones that are okay with you greeting them by name, and will actually speak.

thank you and yes you are so right it does feel like they are just hoping to get a flash or it's on to the next room looking for it and yes it is usually the same guys all night lol like don't they get tired of jerking off for that many hours in hopes of a free titty lol hahaha

I dont know what to do with this traffic,Im a camgirl for 8 years and havent seen so scary members before,when I'm trying to tease, guys just run off my room as they saw a monster,even was a situation when I've got a gold for flash and all members leave my room,usually they start talk when someone else tip.
Seems I should do not talk or move or breath to not scary them,it's pissing me off.

^^^ I always smile and wave to the guys entering my room but i feel like even this makes them leave.
Smiling is natural to me so what should i do, sit with a bitch face and do nothing?
I dont know man, if it was not for a nice guy who came exclusive for a nice period of time i would have made peanuts last nite.
Anyhow i am happy when Cam Gods/ The Universe send me people that save my day despite how slow SM is for me lately.
"Somebody up there loves me a lot", i can feel it!

Hi all! I've actually just started on SM as of the other day and I'm surprised at the lack of traffic. Or maybe it's because I'm just coming back to camming after having done Chaturbate 2 years ago or so.

I too have noticed that when you greet people by name they seem to run away. A lot of times they seem to engage the most when I'm already in conversation with another person in chat.

10-27-2018, 04:47 PM
^^To combat this, I literally never greet anyone by their name unless they've said hello first. I always say "hi guys" or something plural from time to time regardless of how many people are in the room. It seems to calm them down a bit when I don't acknowledge them directly and they think other people are in there with them. That being said, at least half the guys are just there to pop in and out and there's nothing you can do to stop that.

I can not get Streamate to work to save my life. Two and a half hours. I tried different encoders and all different settings. My internet and everything are fine. I just restarted but when I cammed on there before I rarely had problems. If I can get the quality above that of a potato it's at least 30 seconds delayed and by then the guest has given up. Going to try later but really frustrated with the site right now.

They are probably new customers on the website. They need to spend something before having the exclusive chat option ($5 minimum, works if they tip in free chat).

Why can't they inform the guys about this? I sound like such a scammer looking for a tip when I explain, granted I don't once it works but still. A FAQ would just be nice just to back us up. They have the rules why not lay them out?

TheBrownFox
10-29-2018, 01:52 PM
^That is correct. New dudes can't see the exclusive option until they've either tipped a model (I don't know if the amount has to be 5 Gold, or if it can even be 1 Gold) or have taken her to premium chat. Also...after a guy has tipped you or taken you private for the first time, when he leaves your room...upon reentry he will now have a number 1 beside his name. I've been telling guys on Streamate this for a while, and I always feel so proud when I get a new guy who tips and then comes back with a 1 by his name. I actually be squealing with excitement for him and everything, as if he's just graduated high school. Lmao.

Guys don't know this stuff because Streamate absolutely sucks when it comes to explaining how things work. So then the models, unfortunately, then have to take on the role as customer service agents for these guys, and have to explain to them how to do everything. Models who sell videos on Streamate have to explain to these guys how to get the videos they tip for.

I mean, hell, even MyFreeCams has a decent Wiki page + the model's admin section explaining how shit on their site works. Lol.

Meanwhile we still have to play the "Gotta click this guy's name quick to block him in time" game...got trolls taking us into premium shows (that they end 10 seconds later) that we CAN'T decline...and the cam-to-cam feature working whenever the hell it feels like it (I lost a customer the other day because of that bullshit...ended our exclusive because c2c was fucked).

I think it is 5G to make exclusive work. I know they have to spend 5G to get the 1 by their name. I hate when these guys ask me how to do stuff. I don't have a customer account and I really have no idea what it looks like for them but it just makes me look stupid.

Yes it is 5 Golds to get the 1 and Graduate, but honestly even if SM took the time to write all this shit down 90% of these guys would never read it!!! They find us as a pop up when they are horny. Enter credit card number so they can tell us to show tits or some such thing and expect us to spoon feed them the info. The great thing about SW is that this info is here because when a guy starts asking things like "How do I take you exclusive?" it generally means he wants to take you exclusive and that is a huge improvement on "show tits" :D

Yes. This was happening after I clicked the Clear Topic button. What happens is before I click the Clear Topic button, I would 'copy' my room topic (so that I'm still able to put some of that stuff word-for-word as my new topic). Then I'd clear the topic. Paste what I'd copied. Then when I try to scroll through it by backspacing/deleting or whatever, the letters won't budge and I can't delete anything. I think that shit mainly happens to me when I use Firefox (can't recall if it's ever happened in Google Chrome). I always prefer to use Google Chrome, but sometimes Streamate doesn't even detect my Logitech webcam in Chrome, so then I have no choice but to use Firefox. It's frustrating.

It's probably because those members had a spending history with another model.

It seems like the "being unable to see the exclusive option" thing only happens to guys who are totally new to spending on Streamate. OR they're new to tipping a model 5 GOLD or higher/new to taking a model premium. I'm almost certain every guy who's had this issue (not seeing the exclusive option) was a new member of the site, or was just new to tipping 5 Gold+/going premium.

Isn't it ridiculous that Streamate just doesn't explain this shit to us all themselves? Lol.

Glad to see cam-to-cam actually works today...

This is the one of the main reasons (besides traffic) I stopped using SM as my main site. I had been camming on SM off and on for years, never used any other site. Then a few weeks ago I decided to try Chaturbate. I used literally the exact same settings on OBS encoder as I had been on SM and my cam quality looks 1000x better, and all the cams in general look way better than they do on SM. Even the top model cams on SM still look grainy compared to CB. I honestly think SM purposefully throttles cam quality.

That's the way i do it myself when i want to modify my room topic. So i get it u dont use an external encoder but stream thorough the browser, OK. I use chrome and OBS encoder here, works good for me except when it shows i dont stream in HD and Wide, that is a huge glitch that affects my placement, i did not get back on cam after the break last nite cause i expected the thing to happen again, site was all glitchy.

I guess some guys dont have the amount for exclusive besides all the other reasons. I mean if a girl charges $10/min for exclusive and he has less than that he wont have the option to go exclusive and YES, if they are brand new on site or with a new account they wont have the option to go exclusive unless they tip 5 gold or spend something in premium, they dont have to spend that money WITH US but on anyone else, on site.
Then they good to go; this works also for Block sessions, they need to have the full amount for the block session in order to enter.

My exclusive rate is cheaper than my premium rate. If they don't have enough for exclusive, they still have the option to tip for a flash if they want. Which, if it's a new guy who's never done a show with me before and doesn't have a number by his name, I'm gonna make him do anyway prior to him taking me exclusive/private. I've gotten so sick of the clowns on SM who will pull the 10-second show stunts that I decided to just start doing this (requiring all these new guys to tip for a flash first before I'll accept a show with them)...to show me that they're serious and not just trying to get a free show. I like this method, and will keep it like that. :)

I’m noticing that when I broadcast with HD Wide, the screen on my end winds up looking all screwy at one point to the point where I have to stop broadcasting. So I put it on regular HD, and it was fine then. BUT I’m still having that issue I mentioned before where it’s not even letting me type in a new room topic after clearing my previous topic.

Sucks that every time I start enjoying a cam site and wanting to make it my main site, there ends up being new issues that have me considering spending my time elsewhere instead.

Sounds like we're all having similar problems broadcasting. I tried to contact support last night around 10pm EST and they just referred me to an article on checking your equipment ... lol. My computer has always worked, always had good bitrate and fps generally. It's the fact that OBS says that it connects well, but SM never says that it went through. Same thing for SM Broadcaster. The encoder says I'm connected and streaming, but SM never picks up on it.

Hopefully it's working again for us today. :-\

^^ Did you run a speed test just to check that they arent having an issue at the moment? This happened to me last week and it was that my internet was running slow for like an hour. Also have you tried restarting (I know obvious but sometimes.....)

I restarted my computer and that helped. Just restarting the Broadcaster does not do the trick. Thank you Deep.

Is anyone else having an issue where SM isn't letting them log in? It keeps saying 'invalid' password, tried the PW reset link and it's still saying it. Idk what's going on lol
