0 shows on SM today. 0 traffic...0 everything
^^^ I know right? It's completely dead, it was ok for me yesterday but today OMG, absolutely deserted plus i cant get rid of the menus on the right side of chat window in SM Connect, no matter what settings i pick (show/ not show widgets) it wont close/ go away, guess it's SM glitch same with the (auto)scrolling.

i am really hating the new C2C interface on the SMConnect! they just pop right up on there and you can't hide it anymore... also you can't see if anyone else has come into private and makes it impossible to block the peeping toms! so annoying and invasive.

There’s a button you can press on their cam image - it makes it pop up as a new window instead

How do you ladies deal with guys that come into your room and don't tip or talk? They just fucking sit there and watch! I wanna kick or block them, but I don't wanna mess with potential money!

^^Good question. I address them with "hey honey, you're really quiet over there. Are you looking at my pictures?"
They either apologize & agree they were or walk out.

I try talking to them. Sending them a pm. Nothing. They just sit there. I've kicked a few, but they come back and do the same shit. It's annoying asf!

I never took it personally - I never did anything good without getting paid regardless. A viewer count is always a good thing. Most of these guys are getting to know you in their own weird way before they commit to spending money. They're looking to get an idea of what kind of a person you are (or at least what your cam persona is like). If they start asking 20 questions, especially sex-related, or they start some jealous stuff that scares off other customers then I would take issue.

I dont like that we dont have the option to accept a private or not.
Its been so slow on SM that I let the guy who normally just continuously tips me for free conversation in free chat, come in to private to just chat it up some more, while still tipping me. Which was awesome but it would have been nice to have the option to deny him instead of kicking him.
Its been so dead I didnt kick him out and I let it ride out in private for a half hour this go around since I knew no one would join us. Next time I see him, I'll bring up how from here on in we have to go exclusive but yah, it would have been so much easier to deny and explain, then kick and look like a bitch.

yep... I was just ranting about not being able to accept/deny privates over in camming sucks, lol.
A half hour private plus tips is still pretty great for you, though. I understand why you'd want an exclusive for that but when its super slow I'd allow it, as I don't want to risk them refusing to pay the excl rate and then missing out on them staying in private.

Exactly. I mean making $50 bucks for a half hour of his time on a very dead platform, compared to pissing him off and not keeping him as a regular because he thought I kicked him out due to not liking him or not wanting to even go private. I'll take the $15 buck loss so I dont send the wrong signals. I didnt even have to get naked or do anything but stay seated and talk so still a win for sure.

In case anybody wonders why SM pushes contents/bonuses, look at the leaderboard now. They kept it, even if there is no place to compete for (any girl can win even without placing in that top). You can see who makes more or less than you and that "turns on" a lot of egos.
It's a smart move from their side to keep it, but probably a lot of drama and frustration from models. Again, why would you need a leaderboard to see how you're doing?
"Use the leaderboard below to see how you're doing, but you don't need to meet a certain rank for this event. All performers are eligible for the bonus as long as you meet one of the listed goals!"

Sorry, I'm sure this has been discussed a ton already, but can anyone tell me why my resolution constantly changes sizes? What is it that causes this? My webcam? Internet speed? RAM / CPU speed? Because often my bitrate and RTT are in the green but my resolution won't stop switching every 30 second / 1 minute or so. It's annoying. This is on SMConnect

All 3 switch for me, every minute. It's annoying. Been that way for 3 weeks. I just ignore it, unless all 3 are in the red.

You can try restarting your computer and modem but it doesn't sound like its on your end to me. Sounds like its SM servers. The same thing happened to me and a few other people years ago but it was with OBS. Everything kept dropping/changing lower and lower. I tried restarting my computer, rebooting my modem and even called my ISP to refresh the signal but nothing worked. Then I found posts on Twitter and on here stating the same issue. Eventually it went back to normal on its own.

Good question. I've been wondering the same. I'm usually yellow overall with res yellow or red and the other two green. I have no clue. I ask guys if I need to refresh when I'm in the yellow or red due to res and they say it's fine. I've checked my stream also when it's like this and it appears fine, that is...unless I'm all in the red like Raven says.

I was thinking the same. While a lot of us could be thinking "damn, that's a lot of girls for me to learn from" there are likely the inevitable bunch of models who see it as competition/test of validation/reason to be a hater. It kinda looks like SM is instigating a little bit lol but, shit, we can just look at the girls above us on the regular SM homepage to see who's bringing in more bank. Having a leaderboard is a little weird for this contest but oh well.

Was on for 6 hours last night and only pulled in a hundred bucks. I got all excited because Saturday was great. I hope tonight doesn't suck - I'm already starting to feel burnt out from putting in time and effort yesterday with not much to show for it.
Also I didn't notice there was a leaderboard for this week's bonus until I read about it here. "See how you're doing" my ass. SM just wants models to be jealous and cutthroat with each other when there isn't even a competition going on. Sheesh.

Exactly what you and anonamiss said. This industry is mostly filled with jealousy. I've seen more hateful people than supportive in all my years of camming.
Placing a leaderboard so models can see how much others make in a week (cause most will work normal hours, maybe a little bit over) it's just instigation in my eyes. You don't need to know how you're doing compared to X or Y. It helps nobody if there is nothing to win!
As much as we want to believe some will find it inspiring, most will not. Most will be bitter about it and that's sad. It's supposed to be a week when we get more from them, and be excited. Still, a lot of girls will be hunting down others, just for the "reputation". I do know some examples, so it's real.
I wish SM was more caring and community oriented.

i hate when its hot inside but cool and breezy outside at night...this is way too noisy of a job to do it with the windows open but it would make life so much more pleasant if I could.
I will say, I recently finally swapped out all my incandescent/CFL light bulbs for LEDs and they don't heat the room up at all, the way my old ones did. Made a huge difference in room temp. I also have a tiny usb powered desk fan that blows the perfect amount of air without being loud or overwhelming in front of the camera. Sometimes ill go get a rag wet with cold water and just drape it around the back of my neck. The fan blowing on it helps a lot.
Also this is a weird tip but could work temporarily - stick your bra, panties, shirts, etc in the freezer before you get on cam. It'll keep you cool for a bit when you put them on.

ugh yeah like if i open my windows my neighbours would get free shows all night long haha
i have a fan but it's not enough
seriously thinking to ask my landlord to install an AC but then i get afraid he would say fuck it and ask me to leave :(
but yeah, i keep cold beverages near me, i got the led ring that i changed recelty and made a huge change, but still, this heat wave in europe is killing me
and yeah the glitches last night, ugh...

I signed up for USPS informed delivery, while I love.
Yesterday, it showed my SM check and other mail was in the delivery for the day.
Yet, no mail whatsoever arrived.:-\
I'm perplexed as to what went wrong.
Has anyone ever had this happen?
If so, did the check come the next day?
I'm holding off on ticking the box that alerts USPS that it didn't come.
Thanks in advance.

I asked this question elsewhere, but since it's SM specific, I'm asking again:
What the fuck gives? Why is it that when a dude comes in my room, and I say HI or I wave and point to them, they immediately leave?
Am I scaring them? Should I stop saying anything unless they say something to me? I thought that pointing them out would make them feel welcome. It's slow AF, I need to sell a show. Only got one dude who "bookmarked" me with a "promise" to come back.
What am I doing wrong here?
