When someone rated you it activated the rating system which will drop you to 4 star by default if you haven't get rated in the past 90 days.

I'm having the same issue. Still stuck at 4 stars even though all of my ratings are 5 stars and from 7 different customers. It's effecting my money and all support is doing is just telling me to get more ratings.

It can take them up to a week or so after the "bonus week" ends to calculate and add that bonus to your earnings. This is why we're doing it ourselves and paying a few times throughout the week an estimated "pre-payment" to our own models. We'll do one tomorrow and plan to do another Thursday.

*Cross Posted from my own thread*

Hi all!

I searched the Streamate thread and couldn't find an answer.

Basically the situation is, I used to cam lightly from 2012-2017 and then stopped. Due to health issues I need to stay home and begin camming again.

I went back on Streamate and chose SMPAY several weeks ago. I have waited and finally the card has arrived. I had first chosen Paxum until I realized that Canadians cannot retrieve money to either a credit card, OR their bank so essentially Paxum steals money??

Here's why I'm freaking out! I cannot find anything on Streamate's FAQ about what day of the week and how long it takes to receive funds to your SM Card.

I was hoping to activate it today, in time for this week's payout - but the only thing I can find is something on Streamate's page saying "If you get paid directly by Streamate, fund will take 3 weeks to arrive".

Does anyone know if this is the case for SM Pay? I was desperately hoping to have this money at least by Christmas!

So basically my questions are (sorry for rambling)

1. What day of the week does Streamate payout to SM Card holders?
2. How long do the funds take to appear on the SM Card? (Is there a 3 week hold?)

Thank you so much! I used to just receive checks in the mail and cash them.....but that's just not an option for me right now as there is a 30 day hold at my bank for USD checks

Not that I cam on SM much anymore, since putting more time into MFC...but the ratings situation had pissed me off too. I had 5 stars on there a long time ago...had quit SM for a good while...decided to come back and had (have) 4 stars. I've done some exclusives since then, and the guys who actually bothered to rate me have all given me 5 stars. But it hasn't budged. I'm not even worried about it anymore since I'm not on there much anymore, but it has to really suck for the ladies who like to do Gold shows (since you have to maintain your 5-star rating for that).

If you email support and have like 5 ratings, they’ll bump your rating. Had mine stuck on 4 stars a while back despite having like half a dozen 5 star reviews and they fixed it.

Actually, they gave me gold show option when I was at 4 1/2 star but I don't do GS.

***********
One star rating can hurt and affect placement but tons of traffic doesn't mean paying traffic. Nothing worst than the constant ins and outs, timewasters, freeloaders that are broke. No tips, no private, no exclusive. 'I'm just here to waste your time' 'horny but broke' 'where are you from, what state, what city, what town, what streets' 'PayPal, Foodstamps, EBT bb?' kind of traffic are horrendous.

That’s true, I just know SM has been awful for me since I got the rating, I wanted to make the most of the bonus week but I’m hardly earning anything:/

Any idea why is my stream when I use SM broadcast very grainy and fuzzy? But I mean VERY...Doesn't matter if I use optimized settings or custom, or if I use C920 or bcc950...Fps is 30, around 2000 - 2500 bitrate and stream quality shows as "best", in SM broadcast and also in SM placement page...So why does it look so bad? I also have my cam set on highest resolution.

I doesn't appear fuzzy in SM broadcast window, but it is when I open my cam on SM site.

EDIT: my CPU is always below 50%

sometime you have to reboot sm broadcaster a few times and change usb ports. usually that fixes it for me. are your internet speeds decent?

DeepThoughts
12-18-2018, 03:33 PM
^^ Yes they have higher requirements. 3.5 is gonna be like right on the line for SM. Also what kind of processor are you using?? I would try lowering your resolution to the 720p setting and see if that doesnt clear it up or look for a new IP. Is 4G or 5G available where you live?

O.K. so... I used the new SM broadcaster for the first time tonight. My internet went out. My internet went back on and then I used the older SM broadcaster, my stream was crappy. I just bought a new computer to specifically use on SM and I have high speed internet. I logged out of SM and logged into all my PSO eggs and another cam site and went over my goal tonight. It also seems like the new SM broadcaster takes a lot out of my computer.

I love how SM removes the number of favorites if you haven't been logged in.

I had noticed my numbers going down and asked my studio. They said that SM definitely removes the number of favorites for very day that you don't stream.

I logged in briefly the other day and my placement was wretched.

Yet, I'll see girls online who haven't been on in a year who are first.

Once again, thanks for playing favorites, SM.

I thought the favorites number was the number of active members? So when a guy deletes / disables his account, or gets banned from the site, (or perhaps hasn't logged in for 6 months or something) he disappears from your favorites count.

It doesn't work this way. People deactivate accounts or get suspended on the website. I looked at some of my earnings from 2014 and 25% of the guys have an "?" in front of the tip, which means they are no longer members, so ofc with time they would have disappeared from my favs. If you scroll with your mouse on the number it legit says "active members".

And remember placement for non logged doesn't mean that much, it shows based on IP and other variables. For logged customers it's customized. For example, I show always first for my best customers, they sent me printscreens. Why? Cause they spend the most with me and SM considers me relevant for them. For others I can be down the page.

Edit: And yes, no activity for 6 months on a member accounts means it's going to be closed. Same goes for models. There is no conspiracy in here. It actually makes sense to show only active guys. Who cares about the rest?

It was confirmed by my studio. SM removes the number of favorites if you're not online.

Yes, the number could also go down due to members closing their account. But, SM removes the numbers as well.

I'm not saying that it's a "conspiracy". It was confirmed by my studio.

I think your studio doesn't know what they are talking about. Just my 2 cents. I worked with an SM exclusive studio for years and they knew the insides more than others, still, they always confirmed what I said about.

You're missing out the part where customers remove girls from favs, because they are no longer interested in some of them. I mean, people delete others on Facebook or unfollow on Twitter, it's a normal habit.

What would be the point for SM to remove guys from your favs if you don't log in? They make more $$ by hiding you from people who are legitimate interested in you? They are a business company, everything is about $$.

I lose people even if I don't log in for a day. Today I woke up with 32 people less. What's the SM algorithm for deleting my men? And does SM just punished me for not working on Xmas? I mean, if you or your studio are so sure about it, give us an explanation to enlighten us, cause I see nothing logic in it, just a way for some greedy people (studios) to scare girls.

Edit: I actually remember they day they changed this algorithm of "active members". It was late winter/early spring 2015. I was working at the studio at that moment, during that day. Suddenly, I had hundreds of people less. Girls at work were pissed/outraged all fucking day, bitching about this new implemented shit. Again, I want to insist on something, WE WERE WORKING!
So no, your theory doesn't stay in place.

If mine dropped every time I took a day off, My favorites would be in the -1000s lol. I took some time off in 2018, and mine are still in the upper 5-digit numbers. I have to agree with Euro_Princess - it's a myth.

I can confirm that! I was just about to break over 25,000 favorites and I dropped down to 13,000 in a 24 hour period and I was working 6 days a week solid! I called Liz and she confirmed to me that it was because it was now deleting all Non-active accounts and not some glitch or mistake.

And I just wanted to continue to unpack this a little more by pointing out that YOUR STUDIO could have a reason to lie to you and that is because if you arent working they arent making money off you so there probably is a conspiracy here its just not being orchestrated by those who you believe it is!

No. My studio has no reason to lie to me. My studio has been excellent to me over the last 6 years. I had asked him if that's what happens - if we don't stream regularly, does SM remove our favorites? He said that he was going to email Liz about it. He then got back to me and said that I was right, if we do not stream for a period of time, they take away our favorites.

He then got back to me and said that I was right, if we do not stream for a period of time, they take away our favorites.

how would SM even go about choosing which favorites to "take away"? Have you ever had a customer corroborate this conspiracy? Like a customer who suddenly didn't have you on their favorites list anymore and mentioned it to you? It just wouldn't make any sense to punish models this way.

maybe your studio guy misunderstood/misinterpreted Liz, or worded your question poorly. You should ask him to forward you that email to see exactly what was said. Or, I suppose one of us could also email Liz directly for an answer. I don't care enough to, lol.

So basically, if you miss a day, they clean up the inactive users from your account? Why couldn't that also be done on days that you stream? That is the part that I'm confused with.
