I think its stupid to put any performer over 30 into the mature category. I hate all the young guys that now think Im a cougar looking for a young stud. They are super annoying and have bad attitudes.

If you updated to v. 16 and didn't save your v14 install file, I got them to send me a link to a page where I could download v.14 again. I did and I'm not having any of the issues I was having with 16.

Ok I lowered my rates, right now since traffic is slow, I am 3.69 per min for private.....This is what I got told HAHAHAHA
HOLY SHIT, I had to share, at least we can laugh at the men coming to the site these days

That's normal, has always been that way. The lower the price, the more they bitch about it and look you in the teeth. From my experience, 3.99 is the assholery threshold. There's like no difference in the attitude between 3.99 and 4.99, but when I set the price lower than 3.99 the hell breaks loose. Everyone starts haggling like mad and demanding for previews and whatnot.

Standards are below LOW RIGHT NOW and SM is just playing dumb like they have no idea.

Just a heads up ladies doing questionable material, it's just not worth it.

The Feds do not play with anyone simulating sex acts as a child or a mother abusing a child. A $35 gold show is not worth a sex offender charge and a raid on your home. you could be caught up in association with a pedophile who is watching child porn that just so happened to buy a show from you. You have no idea how it could spiral out of control but I guarantee you it's NOT WORTH it.

Please do not think Streamate will have your back on this. They won't even pay you for a gold show that dropped on their end. Do you think they'll defend you?

No.

I really really really hope that this is true. The whole thing just makes me physically ill. I am a cold hearted money making bitch who loves to hustle men and I really dont care if they spent all their money on me and cant pay there rent but the whole pedophile thing makes me so angry!

Girls hiding behind this excuse of "if they do it with us then they arent out there doing it to a child". Bitch Please! Show me the studies that prove this to be true?? These men are mental fucked up how can you honestly believe you are saving children by indulging them??? I know there are girls on SM who offer age play and I am disgusted by it. I dont care at all about the other gross taboo stuff they might do but indulging pedophile fantasies does not fly with me!

I report and ban every fucker who even mentions kids in my chat room. So fucking disturbed. If they Feds will nail a girls ass to the wall for indulging this fantasy then I say all the power to them! It wont stop the overseas girls but its a start!

Okay sorry. Im done ranting now.......

That's exactly what I think. By indulging their fantasies, models normalize them making the men feel like harming others is no big deal.

Are we sure this is not an SM glitch where she thinks she is behind the FC veil? That has happened before, especially during tech upgrades.
Absolutely not. She was doing her gs preview with the tips coming in and her amount that she wanted to make on display. I know the difference.

Mare

Screenshot it and turn the bitch in. There is zero excuse to be doing that shit in free chat, I dont care if its slow or you need the money. A performer was suspended the other day for two days for showing her vag in free chat. They do suspend people and I think the site is getting tired of this shit too.
A screenshot isn't going to show you the stuff she was saying. I won't even repeat it here for fear of being on a watchlist somewhere.

QuickTime record it and send it to Liz.

I really believe it's a downward spiral. When the Feds go in, they go deep. If any model is buried deep in a pedophiles hard drive they are going to dig DEEP. Who is she? How old is she? Is she also creating child pornography? When they find out you're just as guilty as creating the material, how are you not on the hot seat?

At the end of the day we are ALL contractors for a reason. It's "well if any of them fuck up its on them not us" during this down slump I really think SM is just lenient as ever as long as the dough rolls in but if any heat came down on them they'd squeal on anyone to keep their multi million dollar empire open and evade jail time themselves.

It's your show, your stream, your responsibility. I've never done a single gold show in my life that paid me to the point is risk ANYTHING for it.

Just this looming sense of desperation to make money any possible way online is so disturbing right now. I despise the clientele if I can't find my regs because all their fetishes make me feel like I'm in some underground German sex ring. Like until I poop on something I'm just not that cool! Lmao.

SM YOU LET IT GET THIS FAR. How do you now discipline models and customers who spend money on your site but go against your own TOS? It's just blatant disregard for EVERYONE if u ask me, SM is just showing their true colors right now in terms of what extents THEY will go to for money.

Cheap whores. I hate to be harsh but it's really sickening to see a site be so desperate for money that they will literally invite pedophiles and models to break rules to make a dime on there.

How about a server upgrade? A marketing campaign? These are some things that can improve your failing business without doing illegal activity. I mean it's really the main issue. Models and custies have left b the site doesn't work for them. Technically. I mean you are a business. Right? Treat it as such. Listen to the people who make your site work everyday. They don't necessarily want mommy play, they want a fucking cam site that works so they can make and spend money on. The grimey shit came later after all the class and money left this establishment.

How bout that for Serious. Fucking. Business?

So anyway. Moving right along b/c nothing will be done anyway. Hopefully she reads here and realizes that's just fucking stupid.
I've watched her before and never saw that. If it was for a placement in the contest that's just ridiculous for those amounts. And sad.
But let's remember- we can't "out" her so no more details.

well now how do you feel about those guys who are into adult baby diaper roleplay? it's sometimes hard to differentiate .. I like those guys.. I have had guys with binkies, and full fledged onesies pajamas,, .. pull ups ... etc etc.. you can't help but talk to them like a baby!..lmao.. but honestly they are my favorite clients.... it's hard to differentiate what is good and what is bad.. the lines get crossed and blurred.. I have NO idea how bad you are speaking of though so I cannot attest to that.

I differentiate by drawing MY personal line at any underage play. I get that there's great $$$ to be made from these fetishes, but I'm not looking to be labeled a sex offender or pedophile for damn sure. But that's me. I play by the rules, and I'm not looking to draw heat on the whole damn site by doing it in free chat. Good Lawd.

My streamate gripe of the year. Updated to 16 and getting this.
46126

Before someone thinks I'm some person who doesn't know dilly squat about computers. My internet is great 99% of the time and my machine isn't a POS. So what's up SM? hmmm? I'm reverting back to the older version because this is shit.

Can I just ask why do y'all use the SMB when it is such a POS? Does it really give that much of a placement boost over the FMLE?

10-01-2016, 11:14 PM
For me it was the best out of all of them. I upgraded to Windows 10 so Adobe no longer works (C920 issue). <--- Don't get me started on those Windows updates. lol.

I didn't have any issue this bad until tonight, so it's a new thing. I go up a few rows with SMB.

I upgraded both of my camming computers to windows 10, I'm able to run Adobe on both. I also use c920 on both.


Side note: If I were to use the broadcaster I would still have Abode installed so that if the broadcaster were giving me issues I could switch to the encoder and hopefully stream/get back to work without any issue. Ya know having a backup.

I'd never use the SMB. It's not worth fucking up my computer over. I look orange, it takes 30 mins to calibrate, it's just a bad look ladies. FMLE is still serving me along with hyori.

BTW, page 1 or 2....row 1-5...the traffic is abysmal right now either way. Just cuz u have 20 people in your room doesn't mean youll get a show faster.

I care that my stream isn't orange, isn't lagging, and that I look presentable. I can't secure any shows with a scrunch between my eyebrows...it doesn't scream sex. it screams "my cpu is at 100% and my computer is dying"

I don't have any issues with SMB...it's worked splendidly for me since day 1. Using it does give you quite a placement boost too. My computer can't handle the FMLE with high settings, but I can use SMB with high settings and get "best" quality when I calibrated it. So I feel it's a bit easier on your computer than FMLE (at least it is for me). So that's why I use it. I say use what works best for you.

I have the old install so I might try reverting back. On my HP A10 I usually have to use SMB because it uses less than Adobe Encoder. On my Core i7 6th gen, I can use the heck out of it. It just seems like after update 16, it went to hell for some of us.

sweetgapeach
10-02-2016, 02:37 PM
I use SMB the most too. I like that it appears to stream more clear. My body itself looks nicer, more plump-Im BBW. I am orange on the site right now no matter which I use, have been for weeks even with Audri's suggestions. IF I notice fifteen min with no spenders, no real talkers, I immediately switch to FMLE. Sometimes I even make more with the FMLE.

From the closest of what I can tell, my only problem seems to be Comcast. That really is a losing battle. Been in this house four years-Im slightly rural. Just happy to have them I guess and have learned to work around the hiccups on their end. IF comcast is screwy-neither works and I just dont earn.

You make me think, I have an A8 I never played with that could not take the FMLE. You make me wanna install the newer SMB and see.

Ever since I got smb 16 and a few windows updates, my stream looks yellow. I reverted back to the old one and it still looks yellow. So I'm thinking it's Windows 10? I check out other models and their stream looks a normal color sighhhh, for the life of me I can't figure it out

My skin tone is not made for orange lipstick. I mean who is exactly? When is the last time you heard someone say "Orange is my favorite color!" or "Wow that orange looks good on you" No one says this. The last time I logged on I spent so much time trying to readjust my coloring. I had to wear hot pink lipstick in order for it to come out red. Once of my customers commented on in so I know it did the trick. But its really annoying.

I do not normally do GS so I might just be impatient, but I did two today and only see the earning form the one, the second one, still looking for earnings from the the first (both 4 hours ago). I am worried I did something wrong and will never see the earnings from the first one (the bigger one!).

Both of them I started the show before I hit goal. The only diff I could tell is that I hit goal while I was in the first one, but what was weird was at the end of the second one after the timer went to zero it threw me off line instead of the 30 sec countdown back to FC. AM I assed out or being impatient?

I'm having similar issues. Even started a thread about it. Perhaps we should all start sending our screenshots into smsupport. It's interesting though, when I go look at my chatroom on my tablet (a Samsung) everything looks great. It just seems to be on computer screens that it looks so orange.

I think I was being recorded tonight. The guy was basically directing me(although I'm in the submissive category too). He didn't seem to be enjoying himself in any way and kept clicking away and then telling me what to do. But, I earned a nice amount and got $10 away from my goal. I guess I'll have to keep a look out for myself on other sites.

For the last three weeks I have been struggling. As soon as I hit late afternoon, 6pm, my feed starts dropping EVERYONE is complaining that im lagging or frozen. I can see it myself on the SMB the green bars on video output just drop down then come back up then drop down. This goes on until about 7 or 8pm and then there is no video output at all! So I have contacted SM support. Did all the trouble shooting and sent them all the stats on Speedtest, Computer stats etc and I heard from them with the canned response. I sent two more emails with screenshots and got the same response to check their troubleshooting page!

I finally responded directly to that email telling them that I didnt want canned responses and they responded telling me that the problem is that the canned responses are the beginning of a process that I am now messing up because I keep sending new emails instead of replying to the email they sent! Okay I didnt know I was suppose to respond to their email so I did and I included screenshots showing the issues and all stats. Sent another email with more screenshots using speakeasy.net speedtests as they requested and I got an email telling me all the files had a virus so do a virus scan and resend. I have an antivirus set up that said everything was fine so I bought Another one and did find more viruses, cleared them out and resent yesterday.

Yesterday I was on cam all day and I had issues. I had almost no traffic and made $2.80. I didnt do a single show. That was just tips. Im so frustrated. Even my last two Saturdays have been shit because after about noon I couldnt stream anymore.

Anyone have any ideas? I really have tried everything to fix this and I have to keep concluding its on their side because all is fine until 6pm. That just doesnt make any sense! If it was an issue on my side I would think it would be consistent all day but maybe im missing something. Any advice would be appreciated

Actually if you managed to read all of this post thank you! Maybe im just venting! :D
