The site better got rid of the 30 second rule. The abuse it's unbelievable!!! All sites can do it, you should be able to.
I had 86 members abusing it today. Have they been charged for a minute each i would have made close to a 100 dollars. It's an epidemic now and needs to change. Take note.
they get 65% of whatever we make so in the end theyre hurting themselves more IMO. i dont know what we can do to get SM to change this tho
They have said a million times that it cannot ever be changed because of the rules of their payment processor or billing area or something. It is required to decrease fraud.
i wish they would change how long you have to be in a show to rate, it makes me so mad that some loser can come in and rate you bad, after 31 seconds, (aka when they get annoyed they got charged and didn't get to see you for free). and that it counts the same as the guys that actually did shows.
So, i'm stupid maybe, but explain how will 30 seconds for free before each show is going to prevent a charge back. I seriously want to know.
Most charge-backs occur after the shows anyway. That's what i know.
Well can you explain it then how it works?
What I don't get is why Imlive has the free seconds yet they don't cover chargebacks but SM does.
Payment processors especially those who have Visa have pretty strict requirements when it comes to adult sites.
Streamate is a huge site that processes a lot of money. They also have a lot of glitches. If a member goes into private chat and the feed won't load but they are charged, they will want to charge back. A high number of chargebacks makes the site at risk of losing their Visa processing privileges.
Offering a 30 second window to make sure the feed is going to display properly significantly lowers the chances of a chargeback.
This is just one example of why they have this policy. But it's not some made up excuse, it's actually a requirement put on them most likely by being able to accept Visa.
It sucks for us because of how much the system is abused. But, it's sure better than being responsible for chargebacks.
Also, another example, and the reason I believe it's most likely a requirement to be able to accept Visa, is because if you have a pay site and use the payment processor CCBill for example, which my husband and I used on my site and all of his when he ran a cash program, you have to pay a huge fee to accept Visa because it is an adult site, and adult sites are notorious for getting chargebacks. If you don't stay below a certain percentage for chargebacks they revoke your Visa privileges.
Okay so I am not new on sm so that's not my placement issue. Thanks sarahtime and camgirl :) I am very confused. Here is a breakdown of what I earned and how much I worked and so on lol. Okay so I was spending too much time on sm and not making what I should in that time so I took a few weeks off I was always on page 5 not using the encoder.So I started using the encoder !! I had my best week ever I could have made more but to me I did great for 50 hours that week I stopped at 905.00. I felt great and thought okay this is finally going to get better. The next week I worked 4 days and made 540.00 in 30 hours. I took the rest of that week off because I had hit my goal! I also worked my ass off for that 900 so I needed a break. I was happy with my 540 for 4 days and that was good with me. So the next week I had thanksgiving and alot of work to do lol. I got lazy and mainly because I cooked a feast to feed an army lol. So that whole week I did not work. Last week I was still being lazy but I logged on wensday and worked untill saturday morning. Not that whole time lol just those 3 days. I made 390 for 17 hours. I was still on page one considering I took a few longer breaks I figured I would be fine anytime taking a day or a few off. I never use sound but I was still up there.I offer everything else phone, have 5 stars, widescreen, hd,encoder etc. I still have 5 stars maybe it is because I have not gotten any ratings lately idk. But this week today I logged on and I am on page 4 to start and made my way to page 3. That is scary for me because being on 3,4 and 5 before I had to sit and sit and sit. I was making my goals in like 3 to 5 hours which made me so happy. I emailed support and they said use hd I do!! I don't know but this is very frustrating. My percent in paid was the highest ever since I was on page one. I am worried about my earnings now.
Lots of sites don't need to do this, and they are still around. Also the placement issue:
they do what they want, it's their site, good luck in getting in their grace somehow, then you are set.
I'm irritated. Sorry girls.
That's ok hun :) I am irritated too lol. I just don't get it I mean I know they pick their faves and all but I don't think I would or have been their fave lol. It is really confusing as to why I would get to page one magically and then drop.
I am fine with the 30 seconds too. I never even got many peepers on page one which is why I need to get back to page one asap. Guess I will work tonight and hope to get back.
Omg I had a guy come into chat earlier today and he said "I won't hurt you hanna lea". I was like wtf then he said it again. I was like oh well whatever if he comes back I will block him because he left too soon. So I log on for a sec to see if my placement is fixed and I have a message from him saying "so are we gonna fuck or what" then another on saying and no I won't hurt you hanna lea. What the hell so I blocked him this time since he sent a message what a loser. What I am wondering is witf is hanna lea lmao.
