If you get called a botox babe it's not really a bad thing. There is a market out there for guys who LOVE girls who enhance themselves. Trolls can suck it. I tell myself I'll have something to groan about if I don't hit my $$$$ goal. As long as i'm hitting money markers and going over estimated earnings... let them say whatever. I'll cry into the best wine money can buy when my paycheck comes. :)

What the hell is it with the "I like to get to know girls before going pvt" guys??!! I've had 4 of them in the past hour. It's porn FFS...what does it matter what my favorite food is, or what my hobbies are? I admit, I take an attitude with them when they give me that line. I point out that I don't discuss anything personal in free chat.
They always leave. Maybe...just maybe, they go pvt once in awhile? I dunno. I don't have the patience to deal with them

I just block them. Problem solved.
If your style of camming is more hanging out and talking (seems MFC is full of hosts who bank doing this) it might work for you, but for me it's just too draining to spend my energy on these types.

What they really mean is 'I want to see the most of you for FREE before private so I can cum and leave'.
I tell them to please waste my time in private or exclusive!

Ha...those guys? I explain to them that I'd love to get to know them as well...but this is my job and I expect to get paid for ALL of my time and energy, and it takes time and energy to talk and get to know them. Therefore, they can take me to exclusive to chat and get to know me there.

Yeah, I'd say I've only been trolled once where it was obviously a female. They said I was a botox junky who would take any man who came along and finished by calling me an old bag. All things that only a girl would think would insult another girl. Personally it made me smile, like, awww, someone thinks I'm so awesome they had to troll me!!! I've arrived!!!

Oh wow, a dedicated thread to SM bitching, this is cathartic. Anyone else having major lag freezing today? My speed is wonderful, I have a new modem & router, and a brand new cam.. All my other sites are fine, so it has to be on SM's end. I am unable to use my SM Broadcast because it keeps telling me it's not responding and freezes.

peepers...tons of them. 5 in the last few minutes when i was in a private. Wow... Then i got dressed real quick after one (I'm super fast!) and a dude goes "mm dont get dressed sexy" I was like "Are you here to stay for a show hun?" Low behold, he left. Luckily, he got nothing. He managed to take me private seconds after another one ended but I knew what he was doing.

Now i'm wondering who did request this cos it wasn't me .

I really wonder if it's worth to keep streaming with the highest HD720 settings, it seems they dont give a 'placement bonus' as of yet, do they give u this babes? Maybe to the ones using the HD720 PLUS SM Broadcaster?
I cant splitcam or play online games if i use these settings, i have an i5 HP desktop machine & these settings with the adobe encoder use a lot of resources already.
Tonite my bitrate dropped from 2000 to 1000 something & back up, i wanted to make some more money before my period start in force but it was not a good shift.
I feel like lowering my settings a little & playing online games on the side when it's this slow, at least i dont get or look bored but busy lol, it's helping me to stay on longer & with the motivation, u dont wanna know how many times i motivated myself to get on cam 'to play games on the side' when i felt like not camming lol.

I can assure you, they are not giving any placement boosts as of yet. I'm using the HD720 settings as well as the SMBroadcast and my placement has been at its lowest in months! My placement sucks because my traffic sucks and I'm finding it hard to make good money any more.

Ugh after 40 mins of nothing I realized that my RTT was really poor using the 720 settings. I have good internet a new computer and a new webcam. Theres no reason for the poor RTT. I'm also split camming and if my RTT was bad it would show on the other site. So definitely SM issue..... Also getting dropped connection from SM only
Got it sorted last night .. i got account closed by mistake . Im back now .. amen
:O8)/:O
Closed by mistake?!!?? WTF they doing there at Support Department, get all drunk and/or high & start closing accounts just out of the blue?
I tell u what, i check my SM models page periodically when not streaming & i fear that green "Start my show" button will turn into something else.
This is no fun, SM is my only site now due to their crazy settings requirements, i dont want them to play around with my account and 'close it by mistake'.
You better watch it SM, u give models a lot of headache for no reason u know...

I've given up on trying to figure out what they do about placement. My rankings page looked more or less the same as it always does yesterday and my time in paid chat this week has been higher than ever before but last night I was on page 2. I just don't even know.

Placement also depends on who else is on at the same time as you. If a bunch of 6-figure, top models are on at the same time, your placement goes lower. Saturday evenings are usually the most busy and you'll find that your placement is at its worst at that time.

I logged on today to find myself on page 1 immediately. % in paid is pretty pathetic though. You can be on page 2-3 and get more than page 1. Ranking does matter, but so do regulars, who's on at the time, supply & demand, etc. So many factors.

When guys can't see you it's mostly because they are on mobile. It's not much you can do because it's something SM needs to sort out. What works for me is click on the 'pause' button for 2 seconds and click it again to un-pause will do the trick!

Starting to see a pattern, everytime it is around the mornings I hardly see anyone on Thur/Wed. Towards night/late afternoons I notice the "Camming rocks right now!" thread. I have dealt with the account deletion, not for glitches but during site approval. SM is looking like a second option if things don't get better one way or another..

Been at it since 8am and I have $25 in earnings. That's 5 hours of my time wasted. I'm so annoyed I want to log off, and yes Thursdays usually are tough for me. There's no one in my room. When I talk, they leave.:O No privates in 4 hours.

I have been disconnected about 50 times in the space of ten minutes. What the fuck is going on? How am I meant to do my job like this? Regulars and potential new customers getting kicked out every 5 minutes. Fuck this shit. It's happened 3 times in the process of writing this paragraph.

I've been online for almost an hour. I've only had 4 people even speak to me...3 of which were trying to see something for free. The other just wanted to dirty talk in free chat until I started ignoring him and he left. Streamate just sucks the life out of me. So glad I haven't been depending on only SM for all of my income lately...even though it's really hurting my bottom line making peanuts on my main cam site :( Looks like I need a new "main" cam site.

Do you broadcast through the site or the new coder? I am not sure what is going on but, I see the struggling faces when looking at SM top page and they typically look in the moment (most times doing great!) The bigger issue is the disconnecting 50 times, that is fucking ridiculous! Is there any point in emailing support?

Just a heads up...
I was just perving looking at room counts and walked away from my computer.... when I came back this girl is doing a full show.... I was like wtf in free chat? This girl is a frequent poster on here and I know she doesnt get naked in free chat.
So I left the tab open and searched her name in a new one and it said shes in private.
So the site is giving people free access to privates sometimes...... maybe it was a one time glitch maybe not idk.
