If you see anyone fully naked in free chat take a screenshot and send it to CS. They cant monitor free chat all the time so help them out by reporting it.
The reason I didn't report and thought it might be allowed is one girl I found has pictures of her pussy in her pics...and those have to be approved to even be posted, but it's a full on complete bare pussy shot legs spread and all.

YES me also. especially with the studio girls in the US. really odd. i was wondering if girls are just chancing it. I typically don't knock others for how they make their tips but it's getting out of control because every other guy that comes into my free chat asks how much for pussy flash. Never had that problem until recently.
Me too.
Customer: "ur too good for a pussy flash? How is it against the rules if I just tipped other models to do it and they have?"
Me: .....
. i had dinner last night with my partner and we viewed every room on the first page. I never do this with the volume on but the results? No ones room worked for longer than 5 minutes. Some rooms just freeze. Some have audio issues after a view minutes, and some audio cuts in and out - sometimes with feedback so u get a huge screeeech. It was very eye opening.
Also, that theory that when things get hectic and the feed starts choking model is suddenly "in a private show right now" leave her room, refresh the page, she's still there! Click on her room...suddenly no longer in a show. Even if someone took her into a 1 min private it'd take her :30 seconds to get back to the front page.
Lots of things just don't add up to me. I've been on SM a year this week and wow...things are so different.

Thats not allowed, ask Liz. Clearly CS made a mistake on that pic. The rule still stands, no pussy in free chat.

the point of the break button is for it to be completely blacked out on a break (showing the model is away) is this correct lol? I had my break button on just now and it said directly to me "ON A BREAK" counting down the clock, so I ran to use the bathroom for like thirty seconds down the hall which is in view of the cam a little bit even though it was on break. Someone typed that they could see me in the bathroom lol. fucking streamate and I guess its my own fault for trusting the break button when I should have logged out.

I don't remember what thread it was but someone posted that, that happened to them. I think someone also said that they could be heard as well but I'm not for certain. When I'm on break I make sure that the camera is facing the wall and to mute my mic.

So glad that I read this because I just requested to have a break button added...but if it doesn't black out your camera then what's the point? :/

I experienced the loud feedback tonight. It did not start until customer turned his cam on. This was during regular private.
While in EXCL, no feedback.
I hope this is not the norm for SM.

My break button only works about half the time as far as blacking out my screen and stopping the audio. Ive had guys sitting in my free chat while on break because they can still hear my music. I always block my cam and turn off my audio while on break especially after a Reg told me he could hear me on the phone with my kids school on day when they called me while I was "on break".

It's not a complain actually, but I need some help.
I am trying to complete my registration as a model but I am facing the following problem.
On the section "Account Holder Information" it is asking for a certification. I have no idea what this certification is, neither what to write in order to fill this form.
Is it essential to complete the section "Account Holder Information" in order to be accepted as a model and if yes, what should I write at the "Certification" ? Bear in mind that I am from Europe. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the heads-up! I put SM on a break when I get a show somewhere else (because lazy), but I'm going to log off from now on. Better for placement, too.

Anyone else annoyed with 16:9 ratio? Personally, I think 4:3 works better for close ups, which is what most of my custies want, but Streamate doesn't rank well 4:3 and 5:4 aspect ratios. I think 16:9 is stupid for camming. Most of my screen is wasted space with nothing in but a view of my bedroom walls.

I did pretty good on SM tonight considering what I had to deal with but had a few people telling me my screen was black.Also, alot of in and out and my cam froze during a pvt...-sigh- its so frustrating because I know I could be doing even better on there if sm just got their shit together.. you would think they would be on this more since when we miss out on money it means the miss out too! smh....

also bc its so laggy it takes like up to 30 secs for members to get into private. Is it me or does days suck during the summer slump? I find members are more likely to spend at LATE nights atm

Im trying to sign up to streammate but when i upload my i.d it doesn't show how many pics ive uploaded, im guessing its only letting me upload one because they emailed to say they need pics of the back that i thought had uploaded. Is this a site issue or am i doing something wrong?

I was getting complaints from people saying cam was black and i sounded like a robot, go to look at my stream and i was pixelated and freezing and audio was on a huge delay. Checked my settings and everything looked fine from my end, but now i cant use the broadcaster right now so switched to the encoder and it is streaming ok for now, is anyone else experiencing issues with the sm broadcaster?
xCamLovex
07-07-2016, 06:38 PM
Those of us on macs have never even used the broadcaster. The encoder works fine but you must check your settings. Clear your cache and restart. It's a game of getting everything to work at the same time. Sometimes my settings get messed up and I lose my recommended settings out of the blue. make sure you really look at your settings before signing online - even your mic output can create a huge sync issue.

Thanks for the info, yea i checked everything, and restarted and had to redo the broadcaster numerous times and it seems to be ok right now. but if it keeps up may have to stick with the encoder for the night. Appreciate the info thank you :)

tl; dr Today a regular clicked into my profile while I showed offline and he was very surprised to see me on. I think we're intermittently showing as offline even to our regs when we're working.
He and I had a very long pleasant pvt last night, he was pretty much my only big fish on a crappy wednesday. On excruciatingly slow today, he pops in this morning and he was genuinely surprised to see me, even a little embarassed. He said he had hopped in to see if I had any photos (I don't) --I guess he wanted to have a quick wank and he was startled that I greeted him happily when he walked in.
So long story short now I have this theory that we're showing offline as the servers prove incapable of handling the girl/traffic load. Maybe this is also why sometimes I have no one in my room for minutes, then suddenly there are seven of them all together, three of them start talking and then all of them disappear without even getting an answer, like flushed down the toilet.
anyway, this is proving another DOA thursday....

Tonight was so bad I wanna cry...smh my cam was CONSTANTLY freezing from what I was told and I had guys that wanted to pvt so bad but it kept freezing over and over again each time we tried to pvt.I tried logging out and starting over, checked my settings, hell even restarted my whole laptop and it was just horrible no matter what. The last straw was when a reg. tried to pvt me and everything on my end just froze. I'm so damn pissed/sad....I even stuck it out pretty much my whole shift (5hrs) and it just got worse as time went on.....F*@%!!!!

Sounded like you both used sound from your computers that's why it echoed. If both parties do sound, someones has to wear headphone so it doesn't echo!

it was terrible for me too. I'm about to log in for the last shift of this week and it's just sad. I only made about half my goal.... And this morning I made less than 5 dollars in 3 hours, so I don't have great hopes for tonight. :(

I don't understand placement at all. I took a whole month off after my wedding and when I came back I expected my placement to be complete shit. Instead, I was hanging out anywhere between the third and 6th rows of the first page anytime I logged in for the first week I was back. I made good money. Now that I've been working a regular schedule again my placement is back down to the bottom of the first page or even the top of the second page. So lame.

Hey Guys
I'm new to camming - (was my 2nd time on SM last night) but omg what a disappointment! :( Only made $15 in about 4 hrs! The night before I made $20 in about 3 hours....I seriously want to give up! I'm chatty, quite attractive and did manage to hussle guys into pvt and exclusive - but man, so many freeloaders! What am I doing wrong? Is this just a really bad week for everyone?
Staples
07-09-2016, 02:59 AM
You're not necessarily doing anything wrong. Streamate took me awhile to get the hang of. My first few 8 hour shifts resulted in me making less than 10 bucks. You just have to give it time and keep at it. I totally understand the urge to give up. Just don't give in to it!

07-09-2016, 03:53 AM
Thanks Staples. Your reply gives me hope. Can I ask, are you still on SM, and do you split-cam? I hope you're having ALOT more than $10 now! ;)

I am still on SM. I use to splitcam when Kink Live was still around but now I pretty muc just work SM. If they are slow I will get on chaturbate also but it's such a different kind of site that I find it hard to split the two. I definitely make way better than 10 now haha. SOMETIMES though it is still slow as fuck and it's like pulling teeth to make my goal.

Firstly, congrats on your wedding! Yay :)
Secondly, I've noticed before that being away doesn't fuck my placement as much as working long hours with low average hourly for several days in a row.

I've noticed that, too. Being away a really long time will fuck your placement, but even then, it recuperates quickly. What irritates me is when I have a great day overall, but most of it came from other sites. I'm sitting there rockin out with my cock(s) out thinking how awesome I am, and then SM turns up it's nose at my "shitty" numbers and knocks down my placement. And I'm like "Noooo! Didn't you see how great I did on F4F? What about that long-ass show on AW?" LOL!

LOL Same! A great day splitcamming with AW can knock me down a row in UK placement, and where that puts me in US placement, I couldn't even guess. Even so, splitcamming is still worth it.

Wow, this has opened up my eyes and really fucked up with my mind momentarily. I was just going to comment how I started putting in more hours after I thought in January I actually had a shot at making the top half of page 1 (ha), but ever since then, even though I work more and more, my placement keeps going down. :/. so this just hit me like a sack of bricks.
So I don't even know what to do anymore, man. I have been putting in the hours and generally meeting my medium goals but having shitty % in paid, all under the mantra that all this time online will pay off in the long run, but from this I gather just staying on may be doing more harm than good.
meh. I guess long as I keep making my sad goals I shouldn't complain. :( I've actually stopped checking placement at all so it's less of a mindfuck, but boy this is discouraging.

It is true.. you have to have the right balance.. I work 6 hours or less and no more.. period.. whether my placement tanks or not.. so it stays about the same.. and I log off if I get a pvt on other sites.. I was putting myself on break but noticed I was finding myself on the bottom of page one a lot.. so I quit doing that again!... Streamate is my first love no matter how many sites I work on.. there is No site like sm to me.. the guys will pay ANYTHING and once in awhile you get generous tippers.. more often than not.. not like the other sites.. I am talking GENEROUS!.. and I am comparing this to 9 other sites..
