Hi IvyRose could you pretty please take a screen shot of your settings? The settings that SM currently provides keeps dropping my frames and pixelates my picture.
If you like you can PM me :)
Thanks a ton!

Sorry for the late reply, wasnt around on sw a lot yesterday... I can offcourse but I use the preset settings of sm since they do work for me, so I guess I cant really help you out since they dont work for you... maybe someone else can pitch in??

Alright, so ive seen it three times no people talking about their regulars falling off the fucking face of the planet, SAME HERE. Im like....WHAT THE FUCK???? I had a regular write me asking why i hadnt been on cam lately, and ive been on every night normal time etc etc, so i tell him, and he tells me whenever he is on im never on, which isnt true and i HIGHLY doubt i was in a private every single time. He actually pops up tonight, with a like 4 other dudes, and tale as old as fucking time, EVERY SINGLE NAME DIPS OUT OF MY ROOM AT THE SAME TIME. So i wait for a minute to see if anyone is comming back, accept that theyre not, log off, smoke a cigarette, come back and check my messages and my reg straight said "Sorry i wasnt quick enough tonight Hayley, hopefully ill catch you tomorrow night" so i ask him what he was talking about because....WELL i was there the whole fucking time, but on his screen it said i had been taken private, and since he was already tired he didnt want to 'wait' for me 'to get out of private' and THATS FUCKING BULLSHIT BECAUSE LIKE FUCKING 30-40% OF MY EARNINGS COMES FROM HIM GODDAMNT!!! He fucking balls out for me dude and this site is being a

Like i get it, the whole "it says your private when youre not" has been around for days but NO FUCKING WAY ITS BEEN THIS BAD. Im constantly having dudes leave my room and come back and be like 'have fun?' or 'nice to see you back' AND I NEVER FUCKING WENT ANYWHERE MAN.

I think thats some bullshit SM is doing to maybe prevent creeping in rooms?? Like if a guy has been there for a certain amount of time without tipping or taking private the site will automatically tell them you are private? i dont fucking know, but im happy everyone started complaining again because i had a great beginning of the week, then starting wednesday... ABSOLUTE SHIT.

ABSOLUTE SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone else have a balling sunday-tuesday and then on wednesday it just gets ridiculous? (also made bank friday but didnt cam saturday) They need to stop accpeting new anything until they get there fucking shit taken care of to where they can support the users and models they already fucking have on.

I JUST WANNA MAKE SKRILL BRUHHHHHH, reminds me of

Sm is dead right now.We are a couple and we did in 2 hours only 30 $. 90% of the members can t see us.We used Sm Broadcaster for 1 Hour and FMLE 1 Hour.FOr us is working good with FMLE.2000 models on streamate?It s impossible,all the time when the site is full of glitches we can see 2000 models.

I feel ya Pookie. Wow, aside from 2 Skype shows, today was ROUGH. Streamate must be advertising on tube sites or whatever sewage-infested cave freeloaders lurk in, because I've wanted to rage-punch my screen 15 times an hour today with all the ol "tease me first then pvt bb"/"give us a preview"/"flash for faves??" cliche's spewing out of these beggars tonight.

ALSO MY AUDIO STILL KEEPS DROPPING WTF. 6 times tonight, someone says he suddenly can't hear me. It's so disheartening. I didn't even have the heart to ask if any guys couldn't see me, although with the in-out traffic I was getting, I bet it was FUCK TONS. Streamgate 2.0? I mean I know Streamate has always been plagued by all sorts of issues, and I've only been camming for 3 months so what do I know, but imho February is pure glitch city compared to Jan and Dec. Right when I reeeeallyy need money too.

It might be true for some members but not for others?
my friend who hangs out with me in free chat would let me know so that it not happening to him.
But I do belive that might be the case since I checked on myself at a point yestersay and it said I was in privat when i was not. I restarted the SM broascast and then I was fine.
Camming should not be this hard, damn it!
this takes all the fun away.
I dont understand why the site does not tells us what they do in terms of changing things around for the members..
we would need a heads up!
just like that time I forgot which site, I think SM, said they were advertising on a date site and asked us to play along...

imelly21
02-26-2016, 07:37 AM
Honestly I start to imagine all kinds of crazy theories.
Like the traffic is being distributed selectivity to random models ( or not so random. or half and half).
Otherwise how would it be possible one minute I have 20 people in the room.. next 10 minutes I have 2 !
You should see my heart pumping when I have 20! its like Im touching Jesus!! hahaha

It's embarrassing to answer them "you know, i am on cam almost every freaking day actually".
How come they cant see me? I know some of them are genuine & not liars, cant be a lot of these guys lie that i am offline for them or show in pvt when i am not but sit my ass in freechat.
There is a lot of BS going on on SM, at least for some. over 2k models on at a time?
Felt like a studio got online with 200 models at once or so.
I BET SM cant handle all these streams so they throw some of us on dead servers and redirect traffic selectively, we are not stupid SM, we understand ur practices, some of us are in the business long enough to know how things really work u know, u not the first site doing this but guess what, that sites went downhill, u are following them now.

Last night was pretty buggy. Had a diconnect on a block session and the star and comment section crashed. Actually had a exclusive and it crashed just as he finished so he was fine about it. the encoder is either working perfect or its working bad. However which server we are on is an issue as that would be a load balancing issue.

Has anyone noticed the alert sound has stopped working?

I just barely broke 200 last night thanks to a very lucky long private that got disconnected but he came back to finish BLESS HIS SWEET HEART.
I have been depressed all week just trying to break 200. Its never been this hard.
Theyre probBly routing taffic to the "100s of new models daily!'' making them think that this first 30 days is what theyre shits gonna be like.

I am hopping on today with fingers crossed, but not optimistic. but theres only 1578 on right now for anyone who is ready lol

I have an automated text that tells everyone in my room to 'favorite' me.
Whenever a douche asks what I'm gonna give him if he DOES favorite me, I tell him I'll give him a free ban.

I am losing all faith in SM! Been with them for six long devoted years and now I'm just beyond tired, way too much to worry about lately especially with all the wasted time in dealing with the encoders. For the last month I've had a very empty room 1-5 people darting in and out and it makes me thinks to myself...is it me? Is it just slow today? Is my cam not loading? Does it appear that I'm in private? Is my cam glitchy???
How I miss the days where my biggest concern was to just get on cam, those were the good ol' days :(

SnoviaTerror
02-26-2016, 04:32 PM
I give up for today. The only way I was able to cam for more than a minute or 2 was to not use the encoder or SMBroadcast. But, I was still getting booted. Right when I had some people actually talking. 2 hours of trying. I'm done. :(

02-26-2016, 04:56 PM
I am having the same connection lost issues. What sites are these guys migrating to? I've given up on naked.com after what I saw today. Even top models are hardly making any money. I am wondering, how much longer will it be feasible for camming to support me? Meanwhile girls are somehow still making $3000 a week? What the fuck ever happened to that? I was doing well before the holidays hit and before we started having problems with the internet at our house. And now, I noticed I am nowhere to be found on the front page. Someone above mentioned 3 star girls are showing up there. I dont think this is a glitch. I think its Streamate trying to get these girls more customers because their rates are lower? I dont know. I want to know what happened to all the traffic though. This is so fucked up

A few shifts ago I was in a show . it made the log off sound , but he was still there. I started putting my clothes back on and sat down ..... And he's still there . Nobody besides him was there the entire time (I checked). Pretty strange.

Take a screen shot and send it in. Report them because they ruin it for everyone else. One of the biggest reason I am trying to stick it out on Streamate is because none of that is allowed like on other sites. I hate it when girls knowingly break the rules like that

do models actually report other models?...
should models be reported from their own account?...

SnoviaTerror
02-26-2016, 11:58 PM
I have. Ive only had to do it back when I first started camming years ago. A couple loved having sex in free chat and all my traffic would go over for the free shows. I emailed my studio to see what the deal was and they told me to screen shot and mail it to them right away. And for me to do that every time. If guys can get a free show over there, why pay $$ to you?

I never had issues either but is there anyway to make the video bigger? I feel blind because I'm so accustomed to the larger size with the encoder and SM broadcast :/
When I started camming in 2013 I used the built in feature. Wanting to go back soon cause the problems are constant with the encoder most days for me.

Usually its other studios doing the reporting. SM barely has anyone on staff actually monitoring the rooms and relies on "informants."

I had a LONG TIME (4 years) regular take me exclusive block yesterday, it SHOWED it as being an exclusive block in the pop up (I make EXTRA SUPER SURE to read these because I offer completely different things in exclusive than premium), but it's showing up as a premium block in my earnings. I asked him about it and he confirmed he did pick exclusive, he wouldn't lie, he's been with me for 4 years and has never once given me an issue or lied. While we were in the show I had a small amount of people pop in and IMMEDIATELY be bounced back out. Not at all like peepers who would wait to get a looky-loo. It was like they just couldn't connect to it.
This is the second time this has happened to me this week. The first time it happened I thought maybe I had just been mistaken because it was a customer who was new to me, but this time I'm absolutely sure it was a glitch.
I sent support a message but I don't know if it will do any good.

I am PISSED because I missed out on so much money because of this fuck up. He was in the show for a long ass time PLUS he signed up under my cammodels so I got double screwed on earnings for it.

Sooo watch out when you get block requests, I know I heard a few other girls had this issue a couple of weeks ago.

02-27-2016, 12:10 PM
There have been quite a number of pussy fucking and Instagram handles in rooms lately probably due to low traffic. *ahem*

KatM
02-27-2016, 12:19 PM
^^^ I am sorry for this Shady, to loose soo much money considering he signed up under ur c.m link?!
How can we check if the block is really exclusive or not if we read correctly that is an exclusive like in ur case?
Cause u can only see what kind of show it is after the show is over actually, not while in progress.

The only solution i see is we inform our member we need to reset session for whatever reason & that he can come back and resume then disconnect the show to see how is billed & get back on right away.
But how convenient this is? Is not even working with everyone but understanding regulars.

My last shift was a mess, people complained site is slow, i got disconnected several times, people wanted to join pvt and they could not connect, i did my best to convince people to join pvt only to see them logging in and off right away, some returned to tell 'it wont let me in' or just leave for good cause they got who knows what error message or my room was stuck, all while i was streaming with 30 fps and 2000+ bit rate constantly except when sm decided to disconnect me.

It is not me, when site is working i get great traffic, spenders, many regulars show up, i get long pvt/ excl but when site is like now i get nothing.
It's infuriating & demotivating cause u dont know what is going on and of course is unavoidable to doubt urself.
But then i remember it's the same me who was banking and put up a great performance during the shifts SM was working properly.
Last friday i did great no kidding, this friday i did shit.

As I said weeks and weeks ago, there's no way Streamate doesn't know this shit is going on. The question is, is it truly digging into their bottom line enough to where they care? As it is there are 2000 models online now frequently.. Do they care if they have so many women on at a time? Do they really give a fuck? You know they don't care about us.. Just blame it on us, blame it on the customers.. But it's getting to the point where girls can't make any money.

Although I see on a lot of the other site threads that many of them are also having issues with traffic and spenders. I wish I knew what was going on..

KatM
02-27-2016, 01:07 PM
For the ones who cammed when "Streamgate" event took place last year in august, this is how it started then the site collapse affected everyone, we have a precedent.

If this site is not getting better soon i go buy me a veil and cover my eyes & go cam on any site with better traffic, for personal reasons i refrained myself from doing it but i cant continue like this if SM is acting up, i already review options, check up other sites, my old accounts on other cam sites, i need to do something about it.
Being loyal to a site that dont give back resources to work with is painful, no more loyalty from me SM.
6 years ago i left another site and boarded on yours, now is time to leave you for a better one.
It was painful & hard but it was for the good.
There is always a cycle with cam sites like with empires, they dont last on top forever.

What exactly would you propose that Streamate do to combat the "problem" of so many models working at once? There is literally nothing that can be done about that short of selectively allowing models to work at certain times of the day in order to regulate traffic to keep those of you who are complaining about there being so many models on at a time happy, which would be ridiculous and patently unfair. Of course Streamate doesn't care if there are 2,000 models on at a time, why should they even be obligated to? More models means a greater variety of live streaming content which is great for them as a business, and the money is gonna be spent on the site regardless.

I definitely have noticed that my traffic isn't *as* good when there are 2,000 models online at a time, but generally if I just stick it out and maintain a decent attitude I almost always do just fine. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

KatM
02-27-2016, 02:25 PM
^^^ How about increasing server capability with the money they take from us all (2000+ online at a time)?
Like investing in hardware so it can support all streams in better conditions??!! Hiring people to keep site working properly?
This is what a company does when they expand, they make INVESTMENTS!
But if they greedy and let site collapse cause they dont wanna spend, the result is loosing money on the long run.
