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.

Same here, when I took like a year off the first day back I was in my usual placement, but the next days I was like in page 3 because I had moved and I had an awful connection, no hours online, my 5 stars were back to 4, all my stats were bad. I think the explanation for being in page 1 the first day back is that stats take a up to 24 hs to impact on placement, when they did, I was directly sent to hell-nowhere land AKA page 3.

Invisible users to me equal troll. You don't want others to see what you write? Why?

Cuz' you begging for pussy in free chat. That's why!

Lol...not a fan of all these features that allow users to hide peak and cheat.

The amount of people who wanted shows from me last week having to do with underage roleplay and beastiality is a norm on SM. support will ban them from Your room but allow them to remain customers on the site. There are a few users that just rename themselves and ask for the same pedo fantasies.

If SM can't control their customer base then it's not my job as a model to do their job. I think broadcasting troubleshooting and performing is a full time responsibility already.

How did you guys feel about the last popup contest? I only worked 3? Maybe hours of the last day but I hate that geoblock doesn't work on the contest board so be sure to opt out if you don't wanna be seen!

hey ladies, can someone explain to me how this placement thing works on sm? i just started on there today and im totally lost. ty

It is based on ur equipment (good pc, internet speeds, streaming in HD ->using the encoders), it is based on ur money made and percent in paid, it's not like AW where u can buy ur position but it's automatic.
The more popular u are, the more money u make the higher u go. xx

i have a separate hd webcam but i'm struggling so bad to use the hd encoder, when i copy the links and paste them into the encoder, it doesn't connect. It says the clients stream so im hella confused. They also mention to click a green button on the encoder but i cant see it at all. Any advice would be much appreciated

I think SM might have changed their placement thing again? I feel like hours online used to count for more but now earnings account for more. Or maybe I am just looking for a conspiracy, who knows. It's been that kind of month :P

The Encoder usually gives errors when you don't put the url's in correctly. After you copy and paste make sure they match up to the url's on the broadcast page. If the green button isn't showing its usually because the Encoder isn't open all the way....at the top of your screen click the square to maximize the Encoder.

07-13-2016, 11:13 PM
So we're celebrating something we can't really do in free chat? We can get nude in paid chat..but we were already able to do so? So where's the specialness with Nude day then? lol

I went from making $1000 a week in March
to 500 a week in April
to struggling to make $250 a week in July
My equipment, internet connection has all been checked and double checked and triple checked. I have an I5 processor, super high speed. I cannot pinpoint for the life of me what the hell is going on. My money on streamate is almost non existent. I have to cam about 7 to 8 hours to fucking make $50 now. Is anybody else going through this?

I have exactly the same issue, but I thought that's normal ppl jump in and out my room. I don't even have time to type "Hi" to them. I have a laptop with i7 proccesor and 8GB ram. My upload speed is not that good but.. Well, I don't know.

07-14-2016, 04:09 AM
yes I have the same issues as you, literally guys will come in and out and not be able to stay in pvt...I have no idea why I have good internet and computer...
I was planning on doing at least 6 hours tonight, but I got disconnected twice towards the 4 hour mark, both during gold show countdowns. It wasn't abrupt either. I must have been talking to myself for at least a minute and a half with no one responding, thinking guys were just being super quiet, until the disconnect error popped up. Then when I thought I was connected again, I went to check on my own stream, and it was just the black screen with the loading symbol. I checked five other girls' rooms and saw the same thing, so I bailed.

Also, fuck this contest. Totally screwed with my traffic tonight. There were so many more girls that were on at my regular hours who are usually never there so late. I didn't even know the contest was happening until I logged on, and then I didn't realize the theme was "Nude Day" until after I logged off.

Seriously, I don't mind the contests themselves, but the frequency of these pop-ups is fucking excessive. I propose one contest per season. Four contests a year, maybe a few days long. Offer bigger prizes and let the top models go nuts.

But please just stop doing them every fucking week. >_<

This. It's happening on days where $$$ is already -$. If you want to reward the top models great. Just give them some extra $ in their accounts for being bread winning top shelf ladies.
But us little folks have to eat and pay bills too. And some of us can't do some things they do. And some of us won't do things they will do.

Also, this contest sucks in general. Fucking 6 hours notice? I don't know how the top models are doing it. *Name Removed* made 2nd place in the Memorial Day contest by camming 20 hours a day. What are these girls snorting to keep themselves awake like that on 6 hours notice? ...never mind. I think I know the answer. At least when they give more notice you can schedule a rest day before/after!

Jesus God this morning sucks ass. Yesterday before the contest started I was avging $60/hr. My best day in weeks. Today I've been on an hour and it's just in/out in/out in/out. They ask me for a simple request (stand up bb, etc.) which I normally have no problem providing in free chat, but now it's fucking agitating because I'll do it and they'll leave. Then I have this one guy who admittedly has no gold and wants freebies. About to ban him though I've never had to do that for something like this. What the hell, man?

You cannot under any circumstances do what you did. It is not your place to call out another model here on this forum. Its against Stripperweb's rules to name names. And not only did you call someone out you questioned their character. Please do not do this again. And also she's a member of this forum and it's just not kind to make these sort of assumptions. It leads to drama,gossiping and arguments. Just please....NO

Its called coffee and work ethic. I can guarantee you she wasnt on any drugs and you are rude to even suggest such a thing. Back in the day most of us cammed 10 to 12 hours a day, that was normal. Sometimes you would pull a 20 hour day if you had to catch up to make your goal. We didnt have gold shows or were able to sell videos or pictures sets. Hell you couldnt even show your tits in free chat or you would get suspended. We actually had to work our asses off and we didnt attack each other if someone did well in a contest.

Welcome to camming where someone will always make more than you and customers want freebies a lot. It comes with the job.

Were you new in March? If so its easy to bank when you are new, everyone wants to meet the new girl. If you werent new than its just the summer time and it tends to be slower. Kids home from school, family vacations, etc. Branch out and try clip stores, phone sites, texting, split cam, etc. It usually gets better mid to late August.

Important to note that I planned 3 shows that day with regs and it just happened to fall on pop up contest day. But I agree! Long live the SM days where you could bang out $300 in 3 hours still have a life and not look like a pixelated freak on cam! Yay! Those were the olden days! I enjoyed them

ive copied both the fms url and the stream link into the encoder but it still doesnt work, it just stays it cant connect to the network but my internet is perfect :( the box with the things you have to copy doesnt even pop up anymore and SMbroadcast crashes my laptop. Wasted so much money on new laptop, new hd webcam, wigs/toys ect. to not even be able to stream. Thankyou for answering
