Anyone still waiting on the wire transfer from Friday 21st? Mine usually hits on the Friday an hour or so after getting the worldpay email. So far not even the email has arrived :cow:
You guyyys I got paid, SM is mint so that is VERY COOL and my moderatly disgruntled cow emoji was what helped I swear.

This morning was going pretty well for me so I took a lunch break, log back on and the site isn't showing me as being on again. I can't see myself in the categories I'm listed in and I tried searching from the home page and got to page 16 and gave up.
If I type my name in search I see me as online as there's lurkers watching from outside but not one person in my room.
I don't know what to do anymore. SM is still the site I make the most on and I don't think I'm cut out for token sites but I lose money when nobody can even see me.

Are you using the SMB or Connect? I feel like I have seen a few girls complaining about the reemergence of this glitch since the new contest started but it hasn't happened to me(yet), I only use the SMB.

You just got paid today from a wire transfer? Was it the 1st time? If I get a check mailed to me it is here by the following Tuesday (today), sucks you have to pay that $40 fee in the same amount of time it takes for a check to arrive, I mean guess peace of mind is nice knowing it is not lost in the mail is.

I'm using SMConnect. I tried switching to SMB yesterday but it seemed to throw me wayyy back in the placement.
I was wondering if something is going on since the contest started because yesterday and today is when this started happening to me ( I didn't work on Sunday)

So suddenly my bitrate started tanking using SM Connect. It goes down to almost nothing. What the heck? I was streaming just fine half an hour ago. It's not my internet I am getting 12mbps on that??? Its broadcasting at .15 bitrate and making it 360x201 omg

Well I spoke too soon, it happened to me. However like all of the last times that this happened, even though I was on page 10 the flow of traffic into my room was normal it was just my potential viewers that was really low.

Is it just me or does SMB (c2c ver)have a severe issue with cropping on c2c? It ALWAYS crops their stream to the point where I'm constantly telling them to lower the camera. Have tried reinstalling with no luck.

For the last few days my bitrate has had moments when it tanked too. Not sure why because it wasn't a problem before.

I have been getting wires to the UK since they introduced it, it normally hits my bank at about 10pm on a Friday. This one was the first one to be late so I reached out to sm and it was issued and received on the same day. The fee is only $25, I think it varies on where you are.

Don't know what's the deal, but my inbox is being spammed daily with shitty non sense msgs from people I've never spoke with (and ofc, non paying bastards). And I mean 10-12 pms. They all have the generic "user46108" name and ask for tits, phone number or whatever their tiny brain fantasizes about. It's getting annoying.
I bet SM is doing some freaky-hard-to-convert-losers ad. Otherwise I can't explain why I'm getting pms, but I don't see those people in my room and they never spent a dime before (some of those got in my inbox while I was online).
Could you pick a different target of clients, SM? Thank you. Dumb fuckers msging me: "Hey, are you in a show now?' (WHILE I WAS BEING FUCKING OFFLINE) are not my type.

Got me wonder if all these generic users 'users868675' are bots. I have not had one say hi to me, tip or spend. I usually block most but now I'll block them all.

Exactly, just random things. Asking for shows in pms, while I'm online. Why not join my room instead? It makes no sense.
Maybe one of the affiliates is trying to look like they are actually bringing traffic, when instead, it's the same dude creating accounts and playing stupid for fun. #conspiracy

My room is dead. Like tumbleweeds, barely anyone coming in type of dead so I log on to my members account and check out the top 3 rows of the 1st page and most only had 1 or 2 members in and the one with the most had 11.
Not sure what's up with that.

Sorry to hear you're having the same thing. I try to keep my mood up but when it's like this, especially for days in a row, I can't help but get pissed off. They get 65% of our money and what do we get back in return? A site with glitches that have been going on for years and shit traffic?
Miss_ShaSha
06-26-2019, 01:35 PM
^^Thanks. I'm sorry you are too. But not only no traffic: vid resolution dropping like crazy and in the 3.5 hrs I've streamed I've been disconnected 3 times. It's like "really man?!"
Girl, trying to keep your vibration up when hrs are long, tech issues arise, and the income is low...just so damn hard.

No, I hate editing so no videos.
Sunday was good for me. I was just thinking earlier, it seems to be a new pattern for me, Sundays are best days then the rest of the week sucks.

heads up if you use spectrum... use twitter support, its the fastest and its the same person helping during that DM
Neighbors bitched their wifi was kicking off and on.. im hardwired but the frame drop and RTT was not cooperating
^^spectrum reset me to clear out anything on their end. I was perfect again.

Was wondering what has been going on the past week with dudes not even saying hi.....it appears that my screen looks black for some guys when they come in my room, using SMconnect. I kicked one semi-reg bc i thought he just was being rude, but he messaged me and told me what was going on.....which explains a lot. How tf am I supposed to make money like that? As much traffic as Ive had, Id probably have been doing good if half of them could fuckin see me.

I use to hate videos. but I ripped cam shows and that would bring in extra money using clips4sale and MV
Im not saying to do vid.clips.
Im just saying it is extra cash
i didnt edit I miss being able to record camshows using smb (the newest encoder made by sm)
extra minutes is extra money. I just though of that :)

I hear you. Editing can be time consuming. Oh! So glad Sunday was good for you. Makes up for today then. On Sundays I can make anywhere between $300-$400 in a 6 hr shift. It feels as if I'm busy the whole time.
The last two Sundays? No way. Two Sundays ago I stayed on 6 hrs and made a sad $67. Then this Sunday I gave up after 3.5 hrs making only $26.
It had me on the verge of saying fuck this contest & fuck camming this week. Haha. But today the footguys have found me and today has been, thank goodness, great despite a dead AF room.
I loose connection while i cam with SMConnect, i just got on cam & it happened 2 times in about 10 mins, it's just disconnecting me, anyone else? Dont think it's me but the site but i need to know if u guys have this too so i switch to SMB, maybe is more stable?!

I've been streaming 5.3 hrs with SMConnect Web Encoder and I've been disconnected 4 times. Legit: annoying AF!

Now that my internet is back to full capacity, Ill be back to agree with disconnects being sm fault
SM low key abused me as everything was the models fault back in the day
Computer not good enough
internet not good enough
Now I think its all my fault and try to fix the damn internet and bless my cam-room but before I complain the problem is fixed making my complaint worth nothing
I stay on top of everything so its not my fault. never was

ffs, my stream quality has been TERRIBLE this evening. i've run a couple of speed tests and re-set my router a bunch of times - seems it's faltering both at home and also on the website because even though my upload speed improved my stream is still dogshit. SO frustrating, tonight's my only real chance to work towards the target for the rest of the week and what good is it putting in 25 hours when your customers can't even frickin see you?! UGH.
Miss_ShaSha
06-26-2019, 03:34 PM
^^Right. Speed tests verify I'm ok. And resetting my router hasn't helped the vid resolution and bitrate dropping drastically. I've been refreshing the page too. I'm trying to troubleshoot these things. It's beyond my control like Erika has pointed out. It's quite frustrating.
Terrible, terrible week, not making shit tonite, cant take it anymore, i logged off, SMC was glitchy, SMB was dead, for me these contests are always trouble!

I think if they sign up through white labels and don't choose a name, depending on which site, they either get the "user" name or "temp_nickname". I've had both talk and spend money. It's rare, but occasionally it does happen.

I emailed SM with no reply back yet. Its nothing huge but its annoying. I'm being offered "priority placement" for using SMconnect but if I use SMB, I'm still in the exact same spot so no, I am NOT receiving priority placement by using connect. Nothing has changed for me but I've noticed and have heard from others, that they have in fact moved up pages by using connect compared to SMB so why is it only priority for some but not everyone? I hate being lied to like that.

are you using SMB C2C?

06-27-2019, 11:50 AM
are you using SMB C2C?
Yes but I've mainly been using connect cause I like it much more then SMB but if I switch over to SMB, I am in the exact same spot as I am when I use connect where as other models would go back pages if they switched over to SMB. So they are forced to use connect for better placement. It doesnt matter which one I use, I am not receiving priority placement. I'm in the exact same spot.

if you're using SMB C2C Beta (ie the new one) you'll get priority to - thats why you're not changing cause both methods give you priority
euro_princess
06-27-2019, 01:21 PM
You get priority placement from using 3 things, SMC, SMB and Neon. It should be the same spot for all of those.
As for what other models say, it depends on their specs. Maybe SMB wasn't so great for their connection and it was fluctuating the quality of streaming. Don't rely heavily on what you read on forums. People are subjective and can project a misleading opinion.
Not to mention, during a time, SMB was full of errors with placement, by throwing girls far back on pages. So that might be one of the reasons also.
When SMB was good (without errors), I had the same position as on SMC. Again, keep in mind is hard to accurately compare positions. Your time online, money, ratings and other stats will fluctuate, which will impact your placement.
EDIT: If you truly wanna see your priority placement, switch to desktop streaming (from the flash page) or OBS. You'll end up on page 8-9 or even worse.
^^^ This and it also depends on what resolution SMC picks up from ur camera, here i get 1920x1080 which is huge while with SMB C2C i streamed with 720p, sure i could stream with 1080p as well but i was thinking it was too much as i have an i5 desktop pc but no, i can do that too on SMB and my pc handles it very well same like on Connect (i tested everything around).
Resolution matters as well, everything matters but yes, like princess said, SMB C2C & SMConnect have both priority placement, they not different.
