View Full Version : STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues

When streamate goes silent and your rtt starts dropping and placement is wacky customers no where to be seen and you're being verbally violated by incest dirtbags I BOW OUT GRACEFULLY. For my sanity but also not tolerating The state of the site. It's kind of like a nonverbal "SM I'm not working under these conditions" flag. I'd rather make up the difference on a few other sites than put it all on SM and wanna shoot myself trying to make an extra $120.
I've spent a total of 4 hours online this week just trying to bust 20 fucking dollars!! Unless I decide to make an attempt tonight, against my better judgement, it looks like the balling ass 15.84 I made is going to be rolled over. Holy fucking shit I can't believe I admitted that. I mean I'm on my period, but even then I have 2 high paying non-nude regulars that normally account for at least 200 the week of aunt flow. They're no where to be found and I've lost any prospective shows from men who are able to see me because I won't use my toys while on my period. So maybe once aunt flows bitch ass dusts off I may have a decent chance of making minimum wage for fucks sake. I myself don't even have the option for a vanilla job (childcare issues) even if is said I'VE HAD ENOUGH for the millionth fucking time.

And of course today has to be one of those days where they send payment late. Fml, I dropped my cell a few weeks ago and am desperate to get it fixed. So just sitting around waiting for my pay.

Does Sm really think that a bunch of contests is going to make up for all this shit? The majority of us won't ever place high enough to feel good after a shitty week due to glitches & lack of quality traffic

03-04-2016, 10:25 AM
Also anytime there's a contest I sit those days put, I don't v even want to accidently place, all the women about a month back talking about their checks not coming in all had that 25$ bonus in common. And if SM is throwing that shade, 25 dollars isn't work my check having to be reissued with a cost of...hold on...25$ is it? Hmmmmm
P.s. I hope you guys are sending screen shots of these idiots, maybe we can somewhat permanently get rid of some.

Some affiliate MUST be advertising on some bestiality forum, because in the last 2 weeks I have blocked and reported more animal guys than in the 2.5 years previous. Lots of guys with animal-related names like "DogSucker" and such, as well, so SM clearly just doesn't care.

I hear u!! I had the same thing!! I pulled the plug after one more hour of no $$, took off my makeup, made a cheap bowl of spicy ramen that'll give me heartburn and I'm off to get some sleep. I know when to fold...
Like Scarlett says.."after all, tomorrow is another day".

Guys leaving mid gold show to never return...
Guys always parking their asses in free chat...
Guys hanging out during gold show countdowns but never tip.
People always come in and go...
People always want free shit...
I'm so fed up.
I am really starting to lose my confidence lately. Maybe something is seriously wrong with ME. Maybe after all these months of suffering I just really suck at camming.

03-05-2016, 02:03 AM
I had glitches today too....ran a 30 minute private and some customers lost their picture while others had it.... I only ten minutes left and was not pulling the plug if some people could see and others couldn't... I just directed them to support. I try really REALLY hard every single show I do... I screenshot where some people could see everything was fine to validate me finishing the show... It just sucks... I want it fixed... I took yesterday off because of lag...then today there was lag too... I know it wasn't just me because I text a few other girls who had the same issue. Ohhhh well.... Maybe next week I can make more money.. :D hoping.
I had a very short shift (under 2 hrs) on SM last night & it was the 1st time after... long time when my room was busy after they introduced the new HD settings, the guys were coming in, many of them, they were talking, tipping and taking me pvt, it felt like in the old times when things used to be a lot better for me on site, i did good for the time i was able to stay on cam, i needed to log off & get rest & save resources for today, praying it will be another good shift.
I am typing this up here because i wish to tell people that working the HD720 settings and NOT HAVING the required 8GB ram affected me a lot, i was running settings that were not supported by my system w.o me knowing, that's why when i lowered my settings i was doing better than when i had them at HD720.
Now everything makes sense, if this is of any comfort for u babes, this was half my 'fault' half SM's 'fault', an atypical situation where i ran these settings w.o knowing what i needed for my system cause SM failed to inform us (at least this was my case) in a more clear way what we need as system requirements in order to run these settings.
I always knew IT WAS NOT ME the performer and something was very wrong with my room so people could not stay connected, talk, see me, get in, stay in, pay, everything was wonky because a combination of factors. I still managed to make my money but it was a lot harder to reach my goals.
For the ones doubting themselves pls know IT'S NOT YOU, it can be something totally out of ur control, a tech. situation u not even aware of or a bad working server u connect to on SM or who knows what. Pls remember the few nights ago crash on SM, while some of us could not get in/stay connected some others were banking there so some servers were still functional, site was working partially still, how can we know on what server we land when we get online?
The other night i was camming for 2 hrs using the SMBroadcaster & it was dead, last nite was on cam for less than 2 hrs & did great, i was very tired both shifts cause of how long i sat at the pc troubleshooting & trying to sort things out, that's why my short shifts.
There are soo many variables for why things dont always work good that is just not easy not to doubt urself, i know because that's what i did here myself but it was not me, i am still sexy and hot & a great performer even i am older now, guys love me and last nite i had the proof, maybe i was just lucky but this boost my confidence a lot!
Sending positive vibes to everyone who struggle same like i did for months (since last year in july things were wonky for me because of the new settings being released unofficially w.o being provided with tech. system requirements by SM).
God bless!

Is SMbroadcast working with windows10? I can't get it started,it will freeze my computer. I had the same situation on a win7 two weeks ago, then after a fresh install of win7 it worked again. After upgrading to 10 does the same shit,the OS being freshly installed I don't see why it wouln't work. Can't figure if it's an issue at my end or broadcaster just sucks. Everything else works perfectly tho.

I always Report these guys before I ban them as well. I hope that reporting gets their twisted asses off of our site. I hope those reports dont just disappear into a void somewhere cause I am not going to unblock them just to see if they are still around.

Yup, hot mess. At one point my lag time was almost 1 minute, but according to the encoder, I'm sending them everything perfectly. So...yeah. Looks like tons of girls are pixelated, choppy, audio cutting in and out...and top girls, who are usually crystal clear and all. Yikes!

Please dont stick a toy in, yes with panties on, showing how it toy is clearly IN , grinding on an imaginary whatever, topless too, doing this in clear sight for a long time, yes doing a gold show.
please just dont do it.
1. u might get suspended (then u'll stop doing it)
2. u might have to up all this next time since you already did THIS and whats next to do?
3.think of the rest of us who are at least trying to follow the free chat rules.
we understand some teasing, topless , sucking toy is ok but please at least dont show the toy in, for countless minutes at a time in hopes that u get tips.
please, we know u are smart and creative, think of other ways to get the tips?
Please, don't slowly make SM another MFC..
Please understand that most models take ideas for page 1 models.. u are a page 1 model consider yourself lucky and stay at least a little bit classy.
rant over.

I'm starting to think that SM never replaced their server way back in 2012 or whenever it was that they implemented the encoder and made models upgrade to i7's. I know that i7's are needed to handle HD streaming but I also think that one of the reasons SM made models upgrade was because they didn't want to upgrade and pay for a new server so they put the bulk of the load on the models. My reason for thinking that they never changed servers is I remember reading about some of these issues on here way back then, like regulars not knowing when their favs are on. How is that still an issue in 2016 when it was originally talked about years ago?
I think what is causing all of these issues is the server and flash becoming obsolete. I think that if they got a new server and re-coded the site that most of maybe even all of these issues would disappear. One thing I am wondering though is since Flash is becoming obsolete why haven't other websites like MFC, Cams, Imlive had as many issues as SM?

Windows 10 has some issues I've noticed. But I fixed my connection issues by switching to Firefox. I guess SM doesn't like Chrome?
^^^ Ifriends used to be the same when they were very popular years ago, the most glitchy sites i even worked on, Ifriends & SM.
Maybe it comes with the ranking/popularity LOL?! Kidding.
Imlive -> Never been this glitchy not even in their good times. MFC, dont know how it's working tech wise
Other token sites -> dont know either, i like the pvt based sites.
A site like SM with 1500-2000+ streams running at the same time is not easy to keep up running if u dont have the hardware/ server capability & good techs to work/ maintain the site.
We can only see the effects, we dont know the facts.
By the way, Ifriends also kept distance from their models, they lacked communication big style, i think is something some sites do, they keep most people in the dark and their best performers they keep closer with.
When Ifriends implemented the Live chat support for models & other 'nice' features/ tools it was already too late to keep them in the top, a lot of their models migrated on other sites like SM, MFC, so on.
What use of that fancy useful tools if u dont have lots of good models & members on ur site anymore?
I mean yeah, there are still people making money there but IFR. is not what used to be back in the good days.

Chrome is html5 not flash active x plug in. Firefox still needs the active x plugin to work. I get full HD720p with full 30fps and just using a low cost Amd athlon pc. Ssd and 16gig of ram sure help. I think they coded the encoder to use way to much memory. As before the new update I was using a core duo 3gig with 4gb of ram. I been getting top row in my categorie with the amd. When I earnt more I will prob go to a fx amd chip with 8cores as they are beastly as much as intels offering and windows 10 has much better multicore support. you still cant beat a fast single core. But nothing really uses all the features in the Intel chips unless the software was written to only work with Intel.

Ok so I guess today's my day to get hit with glitches. EVERY SINGLE TIME I got a private, I would disconnect within 2 minutes. 20mins in freechat no probs, but the moment I'm in paid, I get kicked out. What the fucking fuck, SM?? Do you not want me to make you money??? It happened 5 times before I got so pissed off I left. Thank fuck the last guy who wanted a pvt (came back only to get disconnected again, and then I ragequit) got desperate enough to Google my name, found my Twitter and booked a Skype show, or I'd have made under $10 today.

ohh so its not just me I sit in free no problem... I get a private I get disconnected... I thought I was the only one.. jk :((
maybe someone tech savy enough can explain why this would happen? is private, technically, a different animal all together than free chat?

Yes, I am in a hotel, but it's 4 or 5 stars and I'm an "elite member" so I have free High Streaming WiFi or whatever shit. I think others would have mentioned it, or am I naive? =P am not using SMBroadcast or Encoder.

Ive tried different shifts, like literally every shift there is you can work, and its the very same every shift.

Hey guys, yesterday was the first time I streamed in about 4-5 months and I hadn't been using the smbroadcaster thing back then. I can't get it to calibrate. I tried 3 times last night and I get an error at the end. I even in installed it and then re installed but still get the error. Of course, support can't give me any useful advice. Anyone know how to fix it/why it's happening? I bought my laptop in July to use specifically for camming, it's great so I doubt it's that my system just can't handle it.

Well...I'd post your specs for yhe tech savvy models, I thought my computer was fine, but after the sm broadcaster update a month ago, it won't calibrate my HD cam even tho I was able to use it on the SMB no problems AT ALL before the update. But nooooooow, I've been browsing desktops.
