i keep logging off and back on, recalibrating, changing from 'auto adjust' to no auto adjust and it doesnt seem to be helping.

Why do they say they're new? Just to have us talk to them?
Actually I think there are new guys coming on the site.Last week I had to direct a few on how to enter pvt ,even had to tell one how to leave private.I thought it was bs when first one told me he was new and ignored him after explaining the basics,but he was being honest and so where the others,they entered pvt.I laughed my ass at that one not knowing to leave private tho,and kept him in few more mins before I told him.

Had guys just now, some could hear me but not see me. others could see me & not hear me, then a few could do both. But still must be an issue on my end.
nope not just you. same here while using encoder and same while using OBS

I'm guilty of that. A new guy didn't know how to close out. I was getting dressed. He was still there. I waited off cam for him to figure it out. It was a slow day. I needed those 2 extra minutes. Ha!

I was fine when I cammed from 4pm to 5pm this afternoon but I when I came back after payout cutoff I can't stay connected and when I can I'm running at like 300 kbps instead of my normal 2,000 so um yeah major pixelation and crappy feed.
Is it just me or does the site have problems like this EVERY Saturday as soon as it switches to a new pay period?

I got booted once and the traffic was pretty much non-existent from 4pm-7pm tonight.

Traffic was non existaet from noon to about 3pm too. This week and ast week, in fact my whole month has been an absolute disaster. I am hoping next week is better

Seems to finally be back to normal. Still not much in the way of traffic but at least my feed looks good!

It ain't normal for me. Most of my privates and exclusives ended abruptly, a couple guys came back saying they got kicked out, only to restart the show and 2 seconds later they're booted again.
And one guy in freechat said my cam kept freezing. Fuckdammit
I am steaming rn. Taking abreak to cool off and going to try again.

It could have been an amazing evening. But guys kept getting kicked from exclusive left and right and I ended up with 18 percent. . 18!

Yesterday, about an hour before cutoff, I logged in. Usually in the top 10, I was #30. I rebooted, wasn't using any other programs, and recalibrated about 5 times and still appeared as #30. I tried the Encoder and was still #30. At first, the SMB wouldn't recalibrate and I was getting error messages but finally it did and my setting was "best" but I was still placing at #30. Then, when it recalibrated as "good" and I logged in, I was #4 on the site ahead of all the other 26 models who were above me for the previous 90 minutes, and the previous day. By then it was about 45 minutes into the new work week. I still have no idea why I was placing so low both yesterday and the day before but from time to time it happens and it's frustrating. I've been exclusive with SM for 5 years so I was able to make money with my regulars but it's really frustrating to be listed so low with no reason after all the hard work I put in to be a top host. When I write to tech, it takes days to get a cut and paste reply telling me how to set things up as if I were a brand new model and with no information related to the problem I was having even though I detailed it and sent screen shots. I'm glad there is Liz to write to because she always answers. Also, I have noticed other top models appearing low once in a while. I really wish someone would try to figure out why this is happening. Most of my tech problems mysteriously disappear with no resolution only to re-appear later with no rhyme or reason. It's really frustrating!

I noticed this too. It seems like in the last month or so alot of guys have been saying this. At first I would actually explain to them how the site worked because I really thought they didn't know. After a couple of weeks of getting more and more guys saying "I'm new, can you help me?" or "This is my first time here can you tell me how the site works?" etc I started ignoring them. Thinking about it now out of all of those guys only 1 went private and that was only after I started ignoring him. In my head I was like "Oh, so now you know how the site works". Def won't be giving those guys anymore of the time or attention.
I ignore new people because it's not advanced calculus. SM has a manual and chances are if a guy signed up on SM he's also been on MFC chaturbate and all the other cam sites which are ALL the same. So please spare me the bullshit fuckboys! How to start a show with me? Why don't you click the giant blue banner that says "start private show" enough already!

I guess the phone service is down. Not that I use it, but I logged in to check messages and saw it in red at the top. I wish streamate would put little messages up there for you know... all the other bullshit we've been dealing with!

It's bad when you dream that you were doing a GS, got your $200 goal then the show never started. In the dream, I was LIVID! For some reason, a SM rep was in front of me. I started freaking out, breaking shit and yelling for him to fix the site glitches.
You know it's bad when you start dreaming of site glitches.

I swear exclusive has been down for 2 days. And today, I keep getting booted. If rent wasn't due I would have already rage quit but there has to be someone out there willing to spend money on me right?

Post Edit: Seems SM is down for me too. Maybe...just maybe they are gonna fix all the glitches we are complaining about.....but before all that went down, this happened from 7-9 tonight.
What the fuck is going on tonight. Traffic is weird...tons of new guys that need guidance and don't know how to give gold or go private...either that or they are a bunch of broke ass liars. Regs are no where to be found and now there seem to be glitches. Traffic was also kinda dead....and there seemed to be a lag. I logged off and went to perv to see if other girls are lagging or freezing and then I got a 502 gateway errors and their rooms wouldn't even open. Look out ladies, SM seems to be on fritz tonight.

I was in a super long exclusive and when i returned to check my earnings i got a 502 bad gateway error message. i googled the issue and it says 502 gateway issues are usually servers and *not* your PC or internet. So....? Is anyone experiencing this 502 Gateway problem right now?

yup.. an exclusive ended abruptly, and like you went to check earnings and it wouldn't load.
It's been super SUPER dead for me too lately... people say I'm freezing.. regs no where to be found.
My computer is a machine and my internet connection is great and fast.. so it's not me. My roommate wasn't having those problems either and we were both streaming at the same time... which is weird.

I've thought about emailing her several times but I never have before so I'm not sure if I'm "not supposed to?" I didn't even know about her until reading this forum haha...
I'd say we should, though. Enough is enough.

I was on for two hours and indeed traffic was soooo shitty.I had a new guy too,once again,offered him guidance and he took me private.I don't mind doing it because it shows that I am nice.Sm is actually bringing us new guys and idk if they don't have a user manual or don't read it but it's ok as long as they end up buying.Maybe they don't get instructions,the way sm is built maybe they don't see the instructions,they all asked how are they charged,what are the rates,and some asked how to enter/leave.

I had problems with phone in Exclusive tonight. Because phone wss involved, he got kicked twice. A lot of privates ended abruptly with regulars. Major glitches as usual. Just sad when your used to it. New one for me, im unable to mail my customers. Maybe one day shit will get fixed. Thats my sexual fantasy, a glitch free streamate with normal traffic. Where all the cam models make money, no glitches lol. A girl can dream hahaha!

Provide the date of show, type of show, time, ect. They have logs but I've been told by Support (i wonder if theyre telling the truth tho) that they can look at your history of paid chat, but it's limited. You need to contact them ASAP with as much info about the show possible before they cant (or wont) look it up anymore. Reminds me of the first 48. If they don't find leads within the first few days you are shit out of luck and the gravy train i moving on without you. Good luck!

I'm beginning to realize the traffic issues go like this:
When the site acts up, the big spenders go bust their loads with other girls on another site that's working. plain and simple! What the online models are stuck with are the bottom feeders who beg or just plain don't say anything at all. The absence of spenders amplifies the lack of decent folks in our rooms. After the glitch last night I was left with guys with zero room etiquette. It took a good hour for spenders to trickle back in and they were hesitant to start shows.
Please SM we love you and don't want our customers going with other sites because they have to. We are their first choice and deserve to keep it that way. With these glitches we are merely becoming assistants in customer erections, and then they go and finish off the real job with another site and model out of necessity! I say no on this. If SM gets weirded out by pages of model rants maybe this is another way to look at it for them to improve. Trying to find the motivation here...

Where the hell did my break button go? What the fuck? My placement sucks balls and I got a message in my inbox that said the amount of money I can charge per minute has been increased... Cool, but wtf? I didnt notice what the cap was before, I never looked so I dont know if its actually been increased. But where the hell did my break button go?
EDIT: Something happened with my studio having to switch over to a different name. Liz said to them that the girls wouldnt notice a difference but its almost like I'm a new model. My static photo even went back to the every few minutes screen shot. WTF

My bitrate keeps dropping down to fuck all, I don't know why. I wasn't having this issue during the previous month or so that I've been using the broadcaster. My internet went down tonight so maybe that's why but it's normally good and stable. If this keeps going on I'll probably just call it an early night... what's the use.

Yup I was almost at the bottom of page 1. I am normally at the top. I didnt even bother today and am probably going to go back to naked and do indy stuff. Streamate KNOWS its losing girls, and customers. Theres no way its not affecting their bottom line. So why isnt anyone saying anything? If Liz or someone maybe said something like we hear you, we are working on it dont worry and maybe gave us some insight into whats going on and why, they wouldnt be losing girls like crazy. Seriously fuck streamate right now
