I already get paid through Payoneer Direct Deposit...and they are still putting my payments on hold. Your guess is as good as mine. No idea why they are withholding my money...apparently it's "policy"...that's what I was told.

Are you saying they sent the 1099 to the wrong address? I've never received a W9 from any site other than cams.com when I first signed up.
Honestly I would just wait to get the 1099. Even with my meticulous spreadsheet accounting, SM reported $30 more than I expected them to. I'm still trying to figure out where the discrepancy came from. But either way, if I had just reported what I thought was correct I would have had to go back and fix it. It's really not worth the potential hassle of having to amend your return or have issues down the road. One year cams.com reported my income a couple thousand dollars higher than was correct and I had to contact them to correct it and wait on a new 1099 to be sent. Point is - mistakes happen, and the number they report and the number you report have to match.
It's a good habit to check all your sites toward the end of the year to make sure all addresses are up to date. I had to get in contact with cams.com several times to get them to update my address to my current one before they sent 1099s out.
If you're super curious what you owe, you can do what I did if you are filing yourself, just start the filing with the numbers you have and it will calculate the refund/amount owed as you go along. Then when the 1099 comes you can just double check the information to make sure it's all right. Then you will be ready to just submit it once the forms come.
Anyone good/ enjoy sph on sm (sorry to temporarily derail conversation)? I get a lot of requests (about 3-8 a day), and if it's allowed, would love to point these guys fwd to other girls/ ladies who don't mind sph (small penis humiliation). Please message me your sm name, to tell them, if so. I don't even have femdom listed as an attribute of mine, but I get a ton of requests, someone should profit from it :)
I finally hit 5 star :D How long before I would be able to do gold show? Or about how long does it usually take them to fix it to where I can do gold shows ?
Some asshole took me private for two minutes, I got disconnected so he rated me 1 star but look what Streamate support did:

^^Love how great they are to remove 1 stars. I was disconnected 10x yesterday! Luckily the custies came back into chat and I explained that it was a site issue. That almost never happens, but I just blamed it on the full moon, combined with mercury in retrograde.
I'm also blaming that to be the reason why my check is late again for the 3rd week in a row!
What happens if no one has rated you in over a week, does your rating drop?
xxJolene: You need to have at least 5 5* ratings in the past 90 days any given time to keep the 5* rating. Always try to get at least couple of 5* ratings a week so that if you take a break from camming you don't have giant gaps in your history.
On the actual ratings dashboard it explains it more thoroughly:
Quote:
This table shows the ratings given by your customers. The default rating is 4 stars for all models. Once you have a minimum of five ratings, an average rating will display to users. Your star rating is an average of all your ratings in the last 90 days, and ratings older than 90 days drop off. If you have less than five ratings, you will default to 4 stars. If a single customer rates you more than once, only their most recent rating is counted.
Speaking of disconnection issues...I've been having a lot of custies say they have gotten disconnected during a private show, or had trouble taking me. They seem to think it's on their end, though from reading here I know a lot of us have been having these issues. Not sure if it's me, streamate, or them. I don't think it's me because I don't get bumped off and I hardwire my internet... luckily the guys have been determined to do shows with me so they come back ;)
I mentioned this on Twitter yesterday but didn't get any feedback, but hopefully some of you will have a look. On the actual Streamate.com website, when I go into a girl's room, when I click on the symbol to make her video bigger all the buttons (go private/give gold/make screen smaller) all disappear and then I can't get them back. Refreshing makes no difference. Hopefully it's just me.
SM has been rendering funny. If I don't fullscreen SM from the start, all of the buttons for banning/kicking disappear.
I haven't had these issues. But I mostly watch myself in the encoder and have the SM chat room off to the side. So neither are full screen. Is that abnormal? haha :)
I also noticed that things were strange today. Hardly any of my regular visitors logging on, which was weird, and lots of conversations in free chat, as well as shows, ending suspiciously abruptly. I noticed lots of instances of a person with the same screen name logging on and off continuously, which happens sometimes, but was happening a ton more than usual today and tonight. One person told me they had to give up on me, because their screen was freezing, and they were not sure why.Seemed like a longer lag between people actually asking a question/ typing something, and it showing on my screen too. Oh and a couple of times I said something, and someone who had not been showing as in my room until way after I said it, would comment on what [I] had said (so they must have been in my room, but not showing up for some time). I hard wire too, and I know my internet connection was fine, so I think it is the site and Mercury retrograde. I also notice that I myself seem more tongue tied and random, no doubt related to the retrograde . . .
Thanks! I just checked on Chrome, and you're right, it's fine there. So it's just Firefox.

Going to email SM, as it's not great if guys on Firefox are visiting Streamate.com!
Thanks so much for your advice and suggestions, I do appreciate it.
I realise that now having worked nearly four weeks at SM that I've kind of fucked up establishing a difference between paid chat and exclusive though. I only ever worked on sites before when you 'bare all' in both and now I see that you don't have to at all. Some guy came in last night and asked me what the difference was in my show in paid and exc and I didn't know what to say. I'm worried now about changing my rules as I don't want to piss off a few regulars. I get quite a few people coming back again at my paid chat $2.49 rate and obviously they're not going to pay more for exc if they don't have to? Any ideas about what I can best do? Thanks xxx
