Is anybody having a problem trying to get on sm? I clicked the start my show button and I got loading interface then it says contact support.
It's working for me. Maybe restart your pc, see if that works.
Was SM being glitchy for anyone else tonight? I'm using an i7 computer, but several times tonight my cam would just show as "loading" for the guys. Then I would need to restart my cam, but it would just happen again later. It also lost connection a couple of times. I had to stop privates a couple of times because of it. Did anyone else have this issue tonight or one similar?
Yeah keeps doing it to me too.
Awfully dead, site keeps bumping me offline for no random reason.
I swear to god lately, this week has been terrible, and now they are having issues since the site crashed earlier, SM used to be good, they need to fix their shit, seriously, this is very tiresome.
I'm sorry you had problems, but I'm glad it wasn't just me. SM was driving me nuts tonight with their connection issues. I knew something was up. Also, one minute my room would have 2 people, and the next minute it had 20 ... it was so weird.
Yeah that happens to me all the time! from like 15-20 guys they all disappear then no one for 5-10 mins, thought it was just me or a shitty internet connection, glad to know its the site acting like a POS :D
Yeh. Contact support -> Restart your brownser, shut down and reopen encorder, login to your account again. When I login I will get guys in to my room, but then it drops down and silence. If I login and logout and then again login and logout I´ll get more guys.. Maybe it´s some advertising at first gets guys to my room or maybe camcorder helps..(let`see how can camcorder works when I´ll get it..)Maybe some guys has bad connection and video doesn´t works.
With the phone - they CAN hear your voicemail if you don't pick up, so like Jessica said, make sure that your voicemail message doesn't give anything away.
Guys like it because you can talk in real time - zero delays, and they can talk too, rather than typing.
Some also like it because they want you to hear them cum. Mmmm.....*shudder.
So if I add my phone number to my Streamate account I don't have to worry about customers finding out my number and all I have to do is to make certain that I don't have a message that gives away anything in case I don't answer in time? I have a pay as I go phone with 1500 minutes per month, I am guessing that time would never get used up on Streamate? If it did I would be rich! O_O
Oh and there is a guy on Streamate who goes by Tapegag30, and his deal is to trick girls into dressing up for him and putting a piece of tape over their mouths (promising to take you exclusive after you are dressed) then he leaves your free chat room and the gag is on you. After one time of being "gagged" (ha ha, cleaver pun), I will no longer do anything before a session unless I am tipped. Otherwise I will get dressed up in private or exclusive.
Very funny gag Tapegag30 (not).
Lifetravel, if they are serious about me performing their request, they WAIT while I set up, IN exclusive. I had a guy do it before, wait while I moved my entire cam setup in the bathroom & put on another outfit, etc, before even getting to the show & he stayed the entire time. Never take their requests to do this bb and I take u pvt seriously.... Cuz 97% of the time.... They dip out.
Lifetravel,
Like Vela said...don't do it...I fell for it too back in my early camming days... They still do it all the time...You even have to watch out for the ones who ask to see your shoes..sounds so simple, but as soon as they seem them they leave. Sometimes I'll show them if they are right next to me, but I flash them really quick.
UGHHH those guys drive me nuts. It happens to me quite often...and always I get pissed when they do it. I still tend to be a little giving on the getting ready before the show. It's getting to the point though that I see myself being more strict about that. I do take into consideration the customer too. If its a awesome regular who always does nice shows..I am more nice to them and will give a little more of myself.
Happy Friday! :)
*I've posted the following message on another forum too, and wanted to copy/paste it here to get your opinions as well.*
Often times on Streamate, I'll be standing up and teasing, and then the moment I sit back down, that's when someone enters the room and asks me to stand up. :doh: Happens all the time. I feel like many of the guys who do that will just keep asking you to do simple stuff until you refuse to. It's like they figure it's the smartest way to make a request without actually asking for a flash (they know they'll have to tip for a flash).
As for me standing up and turning around...well, those are things I just do naturally at my desired intervals when I'm standing and teasing...lol. If they'd stick around in the room long enough, they'd see that.
Also, out of curiosity...how do you ladies handle guys who (most likely, have their cocks in their hands) just want to ask you a million questions about your sexcapades and favorite position, etc? At some point, do you finally ask them to tip or go private, or do you just proceed with their sex questions interview? LOL.
^^^^ I know the feeling when you have been doing something for free - dancing, moving around, whatever - and then stop and a guy requests it. It feels kinda ridiculous to ask for a tip to do something you were just doing for free, but if you don't, you are putting yourself at the mercy of the beggars!! I get around it by being honest. I say "If you want to request something, you just have to ask with a little gold....otherwise I only do things when I want to! After all...I'm a selfish little slut! Teehee!!!!" Makes it clear that if they want me to do something on request, they have to give gold, but that I may do things for free if I feel like it.
As for the interviewers - I try to lure the fuckers into pvt...I'll throw out a detail or two about their question....and then giggle and act all horny/shy (its a delicate balance, that one!) and say "oooh....I would LOVE to tell you ALL about it...but not here when anyone can hear me! Lets go pvt bb, and then I can tell you all kinds of things!".
If someone ask me questions anything related to sex. I just flat out say I dont answer those kind of questions in free chat and explain that I only answer those kind of questions in private. Sometimes they will go private after I say that, but for the ones who don't I just figure they are looking for something for free to help them get off. Those kind of men are totally not worth it...
And of course, if they do take you private, don't answer the question until the 30 seconds has passed! :D
I've had so many guys jump into private and then immediately want to know the answer, and if I don't answer right away, they leave. Just looking for a freebie, even if it's a non nude one!
First I just want to say thank you ^_^ to all the fantastic women on this site, without all your help and advice I would just be lost O_o ...
When a guy starts asking about my sexcapades and favorite position, etc., I may answer a question or two but then I say, "Some of the people in my chatroom don't want to hear about this (I always disable party chat so customers can't see what other people are saying), If you want more details you are going to have to take me exclusive where we can talk about whatever you want.
Recently some guy who has tipped me in the past (but who now thinks I don't deserve his tips I guess) I had mentioned I had to be quiet because there are people downstairs trying to sleep. He asks if they are roomates and then he wants to know how many people live in the same house with me. This is the guy who thinks I need to have an Amazon Wish List that is entirely anonymous (kidding) because it only shows your City and State (says he). Anyway... it is like he is always in my chat room compiling information on me, like writing a book maybe or sizing me up for rape.
What I am beginning to realize is that guys deserve nothing from us unless they are willing to pay for it. I believe in being courteous (at least I try to be) but all of these questions are designed to allow guys to get something for nothing. The guys who take me private, it is like they just jump into my chat and BOOM, before I even know what is happening I am in a private with them. Guys who want to know what you do in private, guys who want to know about your sexual habits, guys who are compiling information on you, guys who need a baby sitter and are always in your room, guys who start talking about imaginary scenarios, narrating what they want to do with you, 90% of the time (or more) they are there to waste your time. I frequently ban these guys, more and more. Also just like in strip clubs I have found that regulars tend to have an expiration date and they go bad after a while.
The problem is, if you focus your attention on the 90% who are there to waste your time and distract you, you may miss out on an opportunity to make some money.
Also no one (absolutely no one) has been tipping me lately. Apparently I have been tagged with #noob, well things are about to change.
Thanks for the responses, ladies! It sounds like we're all pretty much on the same page here. :)
I use the first 30 seconds (on ImLive, it's the first 20 seconds) to smile and be like "Hey, how's it goin'?" and "You can see and hear me ok, right? Just making sure." :) LOL.
I don't talk about fave positions, answer a million questions or indulge in the "I have X issue. Act like you care for free" guys.
They're wasting my time and it pisses me off. You're not gonna sit in my room and talk to me for an hour either, whether you've gone private before or not. My free time is for attracting paying clients.
Also, if a random guy comes in my room and immediately goes private and quickly turns on his cam, I let the 15-sec timer run out and ask what he wants etc. instead of automatically clicking yes or whatever it is. Once or twice, I've had guys leave as soon as they knew I'd seen their dick, before the 30 seconds was up. Now, time wasters will leave after 5 seconds because I didn't opened their cam fast enough lol.
How do you explain them why you don't want to do the preparations for the show beforehand (or agree to do just some certain part of it)? Or you just tell them it's done in the paid section and they are free to take it or leave it? This hs always been a problem to me(((
^^^ I always say I'm not going to leave my room and ignore the other guys in a sweet voice. Then in my head I say f*ck no I'm not moving unless we go private!
What sucks is that no matter how nicely it's worded, there will still be some guys thinking we're "money whores" (gold-diggers?) who put a price tag on everything...lol. But the fact is that they're in FREE chat telling sexy adult cam models to "gimmie a sample, bb." If this had been, say, ImLive or AdultWork, the broke-asses wouldn't even get to see me unless they paid my private chat rate. Any guy who wants a "sample" can look at a model's profile photos to see "how dat ass look." LOL! I'm not giving guys a free 'show them how I suck on my brown dildo for a quick minute' sample. Samples are those little things that Avon sales reps. stick inside the Avon catalogs they hand out...lol.
Here's an example of something you could say:
"I'd love to model my sexy heels for you in exclusive, and I know exactly where they are! Just let me know when you're ready." But then don't sit there WAITING for him to click the button for exclusive, because now you're giving extra attention to a guy who could just be getting you hyped up over nothing. After you smile and say the above to him, continue focusing on the rest of your public chat too when guys enter the room and tell you hi. If this dude is serious, he'll click that button for private or exclusive. And remember to draw out those 30 seconds by saying hey, and maybe tell him the size of the heels you're about to put on, etc.
