Yeah last night was dead. And the FREE2FREE2 username came in so tried a zero gold show as there was only 2 guys in free chat to see if that pirate site had the video. And it appears even if its a zero goldshow it cant get the video. So Streamate appears safe against this site for now.
1 second to go and 40 guys jump in and all tipped my target and bought videos so the zero goldshow literally saved my night. Made more from it than I normally do doing paid goldshows.

I got myself back on they emailed me this morning. In the past I have been offline for much longer so no idea what the criteria would be as to who they remove first but I have been told I have to keep on it within 21 days to avoid it happening again? Not going to be a problem because i'm going to be focusing on it from now on. Thats if I can get it all working which in the past has been the biggest fail ever wish me luck guys!
Good luck Horny, u just need to treat it different than AW, they totally different beasts ;)

I think its linked to the pirate site that was being dicussed as everytime I see it in my room and leaves another video appears on the site. It came in last night so I thought I would give it a go and no video. So its either a massive coinsidence or its a free account that cant go in show.
^^^ Never had this guy in my room but every time i cam there are new vids showing up for me on that site so who knows? I dont bother to take them down cause they appear no matter what. It's free chat on SM where i dont perform anyway.

I've been seeing girls do $0 gold shows. How do you ensure that every guy who wants to watch the gold show, ends up paying for it?
I understand some guys will feel obligated to tip just because, but wouldnt the other guys just freeload into it (since it didn't cost anything to get in?)

I tell the cheap bastards to tip. Zero is a easy non body intensive toy. When they tip they get the big toys. I also do videos and stuff to make up the money. But I tried a dollar goldshow and nothing. A zero and made the goldshow target easy. So I guess its like a token site when you do your show and they tip after?
Still not worked a token site. But I assue its that principles I also record the goldshows so I have more videos to sell after so I still got a product out of something I would have done to make a video. If they come in asking for free shit they get booted as they dont get to see the toys. They dont get to see anything. As it shows up who they are in the billing page even if they dont pay.
Cheap bastards

If you do zero gold shows on SM and only make 30-35 percent of your earnings, why not do the same thing on the token sites and make 50% instead? I'm not knocking girls who do free gold shows but, I myself just couldn't do them because I kept thinking about the percentage I could be making. I suppose it's because you already have somewhat of a following on SM?
Now, if SM were to give us 50% to do free gold shows, then I would be there no questions asked. Hint, hint, SM!

Its a great point. And very well made. I dont like the thought of fucking myself all night for nothing. As thats the impression I got from reading comments. I was going to sign up for cams but support was useless. 2 weeks for a profile picture and they expected me to cam without a profile picture.

Hi girls,
Sorry to derail the thread but I got a quick question which I hope someone can answer please - I just noticed literally only yesterday my SM profile has disappeared. I cannot find myself when I search for my name but apparently I am still able to stream. The only men who came in were people who have favourited me but obviously it's seriously affecting my traffic. Does anyone have any advice for me on how to rectify it? I have contacted SM support but they'll take some time getting back to me and in the meantime I don't wanna waste too much effort hustling when it won't be as busy as it could be.
The only thing I think might have affected my profile is I geoblocked the UK but then later on in the day I unblocked it as it wasn't working anyway, but an American guy told me he couldn't find me so I don't know what's happened! Any advice much appreciated thanks!!

It takes 24 hours for the geoblock to be lifted once you remove it.

Hi, It takes 24 hrs i remember for the geo block to get into effect either when blocking locations or un-blocking.
It can cause a drop in traffic for some models, not sure at what level but it could be a reason.
Why u blocked the whole UK by the way? Dont u want members from there? Are u in the UK?
I consider this step to be damaging for ur traffic, on SM the location it matters the most IMO as members tend to visit the girls close to them a lot so blocking a whole country is not wise. But maybe u have reasons i am not aware of.
Anyway, just know it takes time for geo block to get into effect and in my opinion is useless anyway cause it's not really working plus it's taking u off of all promotions and advertising sites might help u with, that's where the traffic comes from actually.
That pirate site u mentioned before, it's just free chat caps on SM, did not even try to DCMA, maybe it helps me with traffic, not doing anything in free chat on SM anyway except tits flash or a bit of teasing for gold.
The american guy could not find u cause once u geoblock u dont show up in searches anymore and only logged in people can see u on listings plus i think it's affecting placement too. Maybe he just missed to see u on the lists when logged in as a member? Cause guests (not logged in members) cant see u in listings, just so u know.
If u started to cam i believe u assumed the risk of being found out eventually? This could happen anytime, geo blocked or not. xx

geoblock never affected me. I make the same amount either way. Since I make the same, then there's no need to not use geoblock.
^^^ Sure, whatever makes u happy xx, i know i answered to Little Bunny in here who obviously had some issues by geo blocking as she mentioned, maybe she is newer and dont know how the system work, right?
I prefer not to geo block cause i wanna see my placement & where i appear on site for different members from different locations, she mentioned the american member could not find her on site either. Just helping a fellow cam model here x

Hi all (especially KatM), this is all really helpful. To cut a long story short, I am in the UK and geoblocked to try and remove the UK as no I cannot be found out. I have a high level of education and going to be starting a new job next month in a gov organisation to further my career and its an amazing opportunity, but I need extra money as I need extra borrowing on my mortgage and this new salary just isn't enough even though its not bad, its just London house prices are craaaazy (probably close to New York).
So I know I shouldn't be doing this and each time I risk destroying my career, but it is easy money and the only way I could get this kind of money (prolly more honestly) is escorting and I physically just cant bring myself to do it :(. Life sucks but I am grateful I am healthy, got an amazing flat in a prime location, my problem is London salaries are seriously out of kilter with house prices (it is a MAJOR crisis I mean I'm not the only person suffering) and I am single as 2 incomes as if I were a couple I could get the additional borrowing.
So now I'm hiding my face and will buy a wig and hope I can last at least a year if I am unlucky to get caught because at least that way I have 1 year's worth of accounts to show to my lender! Anyways thanks all, this site is great and you've all been so helpful :) xxx

I use geoblock and I can see my placement -- all you have to do is make a custie account and use another browser.
^^^ I personally dont have the option to make a custy account cause SM is blocking my country from making custy accounts ;)
I live in a 'risky' area for SM lol, that's why i cant geoblock cause then i am clueless about my placement lol and i dont wanna ask others to check it for me. xx

Second day in a row I made next to nothing on streamate, this last week has been my worst EVER I don't understand I tried putting in more hours, and changing everything I could think of including personalities lol. I was doing sooo good last month, but everything has been getting a little worse week by week this month. Not getting much traffic, my regulars haven't been on, and any new traffic I'm getting seems to be wasting my time "go get pantyhose, shoes, ruin your makeup by spitting all over your face etc..." all so they can disappear two minutes into the private. I don't think anything is wrong with my connection I have one regular who has stuck around and he says everything is normal. Sometimes when I'm feeling like i'm not doing well I will watch other models to sort of perk myself up and give me the "they can do it so can you attitude" but seems everyone I normally watch is either not on or doesn't appear to look very happy themselves.

I've never been so happy to get my period. Well lately I've been encountering a ton of users who enter and exit a show quicker than I can ban them. It's super frustrating and I've been emailing support when it happens. Usually very good at just banning them for me but lately I've been getting either a copy paste email or nothing at all. I sent an email two days ago asking for them to ban a user and the response I got? "Thanks for letting us know. Have a good one."

I was watching a top model on Streamate last night and watched her entire Exclusive show for free. I'm not sure what could have caused the glitch, but I was lurking without being signed in to a member account. I was watching her in free chat when she just started performing for this person who must have taken her exclusive. I opened up her room from a different tab and it said she was in an exclusive show, but in my other tab there she was performing naked and talking to the guy who she was doing the show for. I have already notified support about the glitch (not that they will care or do anything) but I wanted to let you ladies know that it happened. Glitches are still fucking us over and giving people free shows.

You are an angel... this is exactly what I needed to hear.
I have been camming 5 years and it is only slow for me a handful of times, this week was a one(not complaining bc it could have and has been worse). I logged off this morning and ate a whole pint of ice cream I was so sad over it and now I am sick... (I split with cams and made more money on that site, very first that has ever happened). Then everything started making me sad to the point I took a 3.5 hour nap. I woke up to come here to our version of the water cooler and read this lovely thing from you....
I know for a fact it will get better, I just needed to hear it, thank you Selenasecret

I've been knowing not all people get kicked out of Pvt and excs. I've been told this by regs. SM will never admit this. The glitch promotes people parking their lame asses in our room waiting for someone else to take us into shows and trying their luck.
One time I brought this up to Support and they Asked me questions like "what was the user's name who could see you? What browser was he using? " Like this would help anything...and like I would ask my reg what he's viewing me in. I'm trying to get a show SM not tech troubleshoot for you guys.
SM is in denial. These days it's been harder to hide the obvious shitstorm.
^^^ They are in denial for years..... terrible saturday here ... eh... next week i start splitting with cams.com, i looked up and my profile is still active after soo many years. Will give that site another chance.

Oh. My. God. I have so much rage for SM today. I kept having fucked up issues with audio lagging, then audio being ahead, then my stream flickering, then my stream lagging then speeding up. I kept stopping and reconnecting to try to get a better server (doing this a few times often fixes issues) but each one seemed to have a new fucking problem. I just couldn't take it, so I hit up other sites and guess what? Crystal fucking clear, audio and image in sync, no fucking problems at all. I was ready to log hours and make money on you SM, instead other sites got your cut so FUCK YOU AND THE HORSE YOU RODE IN ON.

Bootsie, I had the same issues this week. I thought it was my internet, because TWC has been giving me nothing but problems since december. I was getting fluctuating bitrate worse than ever, and even getting straight up disconnected from the FMLE which has NEVER happened. I have lost connection on streamate itself but never on the FMLE. I was lagging, my audio was fucked up, nobody could stay in my room even the regs who were wanting to to help me with my feed.. They were all getting booted out.
I went and logged off and got an indy skype session. I told him that I wanted to cam with him just talking normal for about 10 minutes because I had been having problems with my internet and wanted to make sure it would be ok to cam with. Granted when I had the problems, it was yesterday around 2pm pacific. Then when I got the indy show, it was like 7pm.. But I went on there and he told me everything looked CRYSTAL clear, no lagging whatsoever and super HD quality. I was like wtf? So after the show I did some digging around trying to see if I had missed anything. I noticed that adobe flash had an update from 3.1 to 3.2 so I did that, removed all the profiles I had downloaded before, and re downloaded the 720 settings file. I did everything from scratch with the updated version of adobe and luckily I have not had any issues since. But, it's only been one day so I don't know, I dont want to jinx it.. Maybe try that though?
FML!! SM disconnected my best spending regular 2 times from exclusive chat while streaming with SMB, got back on with the FMLE & he returned, was able to stay for a while but i bet he got cut off again, did not return anymore, he always says Ty and Bye, not this time so it must be he got pissed of being disconnected?! He is always Mobile. Arghhh SM, dont like u like this!! Fuck!

I finally got a private with this guy who seemed like he was going to be there for awhile and SM disconnected me. I got 2 shows on there for a grand total of 9.34 in 5 hours. I went on MyFetishLive and made another 2.50 in a hour. I could have made more $ picking up cans on the highway. At least on MFL though everything worked great and my stream was clear with no lag.
