Thank You for responding to my post.
I'm really freaking out! Not only was all of Mondays mail not delivered. The SAME thing happened yesterday! All of my mail in the informed delivery never came either!
My mailbox is locked, and wasn't tampered with.
What the hell is going on over at USPS?
I'm going to call them today.
Will report back, if anyone is interested.
FYI~7 days has to pass, before a report is made to USPS. From the date that the check has been mailed.
I'm going to do the FedEx option for a while ( which has always been reliable).
It sucks to pay the $30 fee. But, if USPS doesn't find my check, it's gonna cost me a fee ,(and time), to have it reissued. Ugh!
I've had informed delivery for awhile now and have learned a few things.
Just because it's scanned doesn't mean you get it that day - it often comes 3 days later and they don't consider it late unless it's a week gone by.
I made the mistake of reporting my SM check late with informed delivery and now my mail lady (there are two, a man and a lady) always leaves my check dangling out of my damn mailbox so it gets wet or it may blow away. I always have to listen for them to run out and grab it. One day it got soaking wet from rain and I had to let it dry! So infuriating but now I'm afraid to report it since I guess she got in trouble for me reporting it as late and getting revenge by sabotaging my mail, so I'm going to just suck it up and deal with it.
I cannot believe Streamate can't fix this issue by finding some bank somewhere to work with direct deposit. They have GOT to be pulling in enough money.

I noticed at the end of last week, it was showing that I streamed 10h more than I actually did.
Yeah, I noticed it too. I go by minutes online which is accurate.

Is anyone else having a problem with their hours online in the New Earnings Report being different than their hours in their Daily Time Online Report? I noticed that the Daily Time Online report is right and the Earnings Report is wrong for the past few days.
yes on my earnings report it says I've worked 36 hours which is incorrect (i have worked 24, or 1445 mins which is what the daily time report accurately says.) it was like this last week too.
it's annoying because I like the new feature of them showing our average hourly earnings over the week, except its totally wrong because the hours are inaccurate.

I'm actually having an issue with USPS myself. The timing is ironic since I never have a problem with them but, Jesus Christ. And calling them has been a merri-go-round of automated prompts and pre-recorded messages. I had to google "get real person USPS". FedEx would never.
I had the same thing and this is my first real check from SM, so I was in a whole ass mood for my Monday shift. I didn’t get anything Monday but it did come Tuesday. Had my first check and internet but the Comcast guy fucked my new expensive ass bet up so idk. I was around during the payoneer ach so umm yeah. Shit is all new to me.

Update: I called my local post office, and they told me that the sorting system accidentally sent all of my mail to another area of town.:O
She said she'd look into it, and call me back.
She called back a little after4, telling me that the reason my mail didn't come is because my mailbox had been broken into ( the master lock to the main box that opens all of the tenants boxes).
That the carrier took all of our mail to the post office. She said it's there,and I could come get it. ( They close at 5).
I race over there, only to deal with the cuntiest of cunts. Attitude up the ass!
She hands me my SM check, 1 other piece of mail, and a small package.
I ask where everything else is that's in informed delivery. She snips back that informed delivery just tells that there's mail ' on the way'. Like ^^Laurielegs said, they have 7 days to actually put it in your box.
Cunty tells me, that until my mailbox is replaced, the post office will be holding all of my mail, and I'll have to pick it up myself.
Why didn't the mail carrier leave a note for all of us? And why can't he leave a note when he'll be delivering to us again?
Luckily I ran into 3 of my neighbors when I got home to alert them too.
Fuck You USPS!!!
FUCK YOU and your shitty, dismissive attitude and unprofessional ways! :finger::thumbsdow

Sheesh. Thanks for the update (and screw that lady, man :censored:). They all handled this situation the worst way possible. No notice of any kind? People wait for important ass shit in the mail (ie. YOUR SM CHECK) - a single day could make all the difference. I'm glad you got your money but they didn't instill any lost confidence in the USPS mailing system.
Somewhat similar update: my package info was finally updated after sitting in limbo for 4 days and neither USPS or the site I made the purchase from had an answer. USPS pointed to the site and the site pointed at USPS. The tracking now says it'll arrive today so, whatever.

Ugh! What slack jobs they all are.
*It's not the first time I've had issues with USPS. I mentioned a few pages back that I don't get my mail delivered until late. Like 7 or 8 PM late. The mailman is ALWAYS talking on his phone too! The same thing happened at my last apt in LA. My mail always got lost there too, and wouldn't come until 9 pm!!
I want to scream, " Pay attention! You're going to mix up everybody's mail!" There were over 500 tenants in that building! You should have seen the notes from tenants left on the boxes for the mailman. That pissed me off too, because I think the carrier would be late on purpose.

This is exactly how I feel. Traffic has been so slow, I guess due to so many hosts online, that I've made less than half my usual paycheck, trying to force myself to complete the 25 hours though, ugh.
I expected to make so much more than I have, but even with the bonus money I'm going to come up way short of my usual pay. It's too much pressure, seriously considering sitting the next contest out and just focusing on creating content, working other sites and just log in as I can.

This is exactly what I did. I have 7 hours so far, came on only when I knew regulars are around. I could tell that traffic was soooo slow. In my opinion, I don't think it's worth the struggle, I would rather create content and catch up on sleep.

The more I reread your post, the more enraged I get ( at USPS and their horrible treatment with the handling of your check). And SM's unwillingness to do direct deposit.>:(
*I had my check delivered by FedEx yesterday.
It was, as usual, smooth, seamless, easy peasy.
The drivers are always so pleasant. ( In 113 degree weather, no less). Delivery right to my door. I don't even have to walk way out to the front of the building to get it? Texting me an update on where my package is?
Getting my check on Friday, instead of waiting until Monday? ( maybe longer, depending on if USPS can keep their act together.) A real game of Russian roulette for sure.
Yes please. I'll take it.:)
*I have to go pick up my mail at the post office today that they won't deliver because of the break in.. Not looking forward to it. I just pray that I get a nice clerk.

Yes it booted me off 2 times while streaming with SMB then i tried SM Connect and it happened again 2 more times.
After i got back online i saw the RTT jumping like crazy, few secs being at 39 ms then going to red at 500+ and so on, it did this for a good while then it stopped.
This week was absurdly dead, i made peanuts literally, i got on cam cause i had nothing else to do considering i work night shifts but was not worth the effort, i sat in a dead room most of the time.
This morning i had a small panic attack, it scared me cause i did not have another one since the major one that sent me to emergency room few months ago, even i tried to take it easy and be calm regarding this week struggle the subconscious is working and reacted right when i put myself to bed for sleep, being home alone did not help either but i did my best to stay calm and breathe and then when it passed i took a pill to be able to rest.
Oh well... this shall pass too, it has to get better cause these contests/ bonus weeks are such a burden for me.

Right. I remember what you said last week when I was falling apart (streamed 42 hrs) & at 22 hrs this week...I threw in the towel. I made 42% of high weekly goal & I'm done. I'm ok & have a small savings cushion.
Mental health is so important. I'm spending the day with loved ones relaxing so I can be strong for next week.
Having a mental breakdown for high goal isn't worth it. I made this choice to forgo the bonus at midnight last night. I'm not quitting; I'm self-caring.

So glad it ends tonight!
I last night realized I'd come out basically the same, working like crazy with so little traffic for what, a few dollars? Could have made that much with one or two shows on another site, wtf was I thinking?
I went ahead and slept late today to recharge instead of killing myself for peanuts to try to make an extra little bit of money that really isn't extra because I'm so short due to lack of traffic. I was so confident at the beginning of the week I was gonna work a ton of hours and really make some extra, laughing at myself now!
I learned my lesson this time finally - it only helps the tippy top 1% of hosts who have a giant fanbase it seems. When I do the math it isn't worth wearing myself out, and if I'd focused on other sites and made some content I'd have had some fresh clips to sell and been energetic and ready to work now instead of pissed off and behind moneywise.

I've barely worked this week, mainly due to the fact my internet was out for most of it. I know I am on a time crunch now to make rent money but I'm not upset, I really didnt want to work during this bonus event anyway. I do have to work today though so I'm trying to prepare myself for it. I know it's going to be terrible. I can only hope the first few days of this coming week will be good.

I am done with contests.. it's very rare that I actually end up with extra money or even have a normal day.. I am thinking that a lot of girls get on cam who normally don't cam during a contest... so our normal regulars are gravitating to these fly by nite girls so to speak for a new experience... that's my consensus as why it can be super slow for us Regular cam models who work full time.

i doubt it. plus even if they did, if I may be frank here -- this entire thread is basically just girls (myself occasionally included) shitting all over a site they have *chosen* to work for, so I don't know why SM would actually care let alone respect that or attempt to change anything based on what they read here. they could see 95% of this thread and be like "okay so if you hate us so much, just stop working for us. no one's making you work here." (clearly they would do just fine without the majority of us who aren't super top earners.)
bottom line is I simply see this as a thread to vent and sympathize with other SM models in the moment.
but if we want to see SM improve and change, i think it would be more helpful for all of us to bombard support/liz/etc with non-aggressive emails, suggestions, reports, etc.
i always wonder how many girls actually do that when they are posting here multiple times daily.

I also think they have no reason to care. We obviously care about each other and need a place to vent which is why this forum is essential. I worked 12 hours and made a decent amount of money for most in that time (I normally work 28 no problem but I had a life this week). So SM doesn't have to pay me a bonus and there were literally 100s of girls making more money then me for them. They are doing just fine, they bring traffic to us, some performers are better at working these week long hustles, some of us will take a hit. One thing is for sure a lot of money was made this past week.

Does anyone from SM come on here and see this? Someone who actually cares?
There are 2 reps that have occasionally posted here so SM is definitely aware of this forum and these threads. To be blunt imo SM does not care. They showed us this time and time again. Like seriously look at how they handled the glitch/site issues all of these years.... they didn't listen to models or even customers. To this day they still blame the model or customers equipment, they refuse to take accountability. We can't even get something as simple as direct deposit/ach or a reason why that's the case no matter how many models storm their inbox.
A side from this forum if SM actually cared about their models they would've taken some of the requests and suggestions we provide through their contact form and Twitter (in this thread or The Streamate thread there's posts displaying how arrogant and condescending some of the SM staff is, particularly the guy that runs the Twitter model account) but they don't. Just like any other corporation SM does as they please and as they see fit. Its a hard pill to swallow but it is what it is.
I stopped hoping and thinking that SM would change or care a long time ago. I now move accordingly aka I log on put in whatever hours I feel and then log off. If there's a glitch I'll troubleshot and continue to work if I can, if I can't I just do something else.
These contests I ignore them. If I receive a newsletter and its says contest I don't open it or read it. I just delete. I don't know when nor do I care if there's a contest. I worked one contest near the beginning of these things and that was enough for me. For me they aren't worth the mental and emotional stress so I ignore them and work through them without realizing that they're happening.
Many people here have said SM/camming is similar to an abusive relationship/bf. You(in general) keep expecting the person to change, you make up excuses for their behavior, deep down you know that they're never going to change yet no matter how many times they've shown you their true colors you remain being hopeful. Imo at some point you have to start seeing things, people, situations for what they are and start moving accordingly other wise you will go insane and suffer emotionally and mentally (which often times will also spill over to physical issues) hence why I am over hoping and expecting SM to give af (a fuck).
Breaking off emotional attachments and fucks to give was the best thing I ever did. I use SM how I please now and keep it moving.

Sidenote: The Post Office said that it will take 2 or MORE months to replace my mailbox that was vandalized.::)
They said it was being shipped from San Diego. :O
Haven't they ever heard of Amazon prime? Lol! Whatever.
OMG!
My neighbor called and offered to give me the key to her office mailbox, so I wouldn't have to pay the FedEx fee.
Aw. How incredibly kind of her.:)
I explained that I have a problem with USPS, and their unreliable ways.
God forbid sm gets the address change wrong if I change my address.

There are 2 reps that have occasionally posted here so SM is definitely aware of this forum and these threads. To be blunt imo SM does not care. They showed us this time and time again. Like seriously look at how they handled the glitch/site issues all of these years.... they didn't listen to models or even customers. To this day they still blame the model or customers equipment, they refuse to take accountability. We can't even get something as simple as direct deposit/ach or a reason why that's the case no matter how many models storm their inbox.
A side from this forum if SM actually cared about their models they would've taken some of the requests and suggestions we provide through their contact form and Twitter (in this thread or The Streamate thread there's posts displaying how arrogant and condescending some of the SM staff is, particularly the guy that runs the Twitter model account) but they don't. Just like any other corporation SM does as they please and as they see fit. Its a hard pill swallow but it is what it is.
I stopped hoping and thinking that SM would change or care a long time ago. I now move accordingly aka I log on put in whatever hours I feel and then log off. If there's a glitch I'll troubleshot and continue to work if I can, if I can't I just do something else.
These contests I ignore them. If I receive a newsletter and its says contest I don't open it or read it. I just delete. I don't know when nor do I care if there's a contest. I worked one contest near the beginning of these things and that was enough for me. For me they aren't worth the mental and emotional stress so I ignore them and work through them without realizing that they're happening.
Many people here have said SM/camming is similar to an abusive relationship/bf. You(in general) keep expecting the person to change, you make up excuses for their behavior, deep down you know that they're never going to change yet no matter how many times they've shown you their true colors you remain being hopeful. Imo at some point you have to start seeing things, people, situations for what they are and start moving accordingly other wise you will go insane and suffer emotionally and mentally (which often times will also spill over to physical issues) hence why I am over hoping and expecting SM to give af (a fuck).
Breaking off emotional attachments and fucks to give was the best thing I ever did. I use SM how I please now and keep it moving.

The last time I told a cam site about their working conditions, all my traffic was redirected and then I became blacklisted.. so I don't offer suggestions or anything anymore because camming is how I SURVIVE not exactly thrive...lol
i doubt it. plus even if they did, if I may be frank here -- this entire thread is basically just girls (myself occasionally included) shitting all over a site they have *chosen* to work for, so I don't know why SM would actually care let alone respect that or attempt to change anything based on what they read here. they could see 95% of this thread and be like "okay so if you hate us so much, just stop working for us. no one's making you work here." (clearly they would do just fine without the majority of us who aren't super top earners.)
bottom line is I simply see this as a thread to vent and sympathize with other SM models in the moment.
but if we want to see SM improve and change, i think it would be more helpful for all of us to bombard support/liz/etc with non-aggressive emails, suggestions, reports, etc.
i always wonder how many girls actually do that when they are posting here multiple times daily.
^^^ I bet it was Imlive?! and yes, they dont really take our point of view into consideration, we are the working bees, they The Queen.

Is anyone else getting booted off with "the streaming connection has been lost" when guys turn on their c2c? I have been getting it the last few days.

Models are not loading on the site and placement is all over. And when I mean not loading, I dont mean like click on the model and have it not load in to her room. The entire website is nothing but blank squares.

I was gonna say that it's working for me but when I looked again I saw blank squares too. No wonder I've not had a soul in my room for the last 20 min.
