My thoughts exactly! I sent them an e-mail, and hopefully if he's doing this shit to other models, they'll report him to SM too.

Is it possible to not be tagged on SM?
I know what you mean!!! Lately, I rarely hit a goal of $150 on my own but when I get a TV show, I am getting anywhere from $200-250 each time!!! I thought it was because it bumped me up to the #1 spot so I got more traffic but really, I am also in like row 2-3 so it's not that big of a push. It's strange.
Do you think the TV gold shows are factored into our 30 day average to calculate what they offer us? I wonder. Or is it only the shows we do on our own? Hmm... I might have to email about this...
It could be that he is on a mobile device. There have been some glitches with mobile users since they rolled that feature out, where they come in and are automatically kicked back out. He's likely not even seeing you at all because it's kicking him out too soon. That's just one possibility though.
I blocked a guy who did this a bunch, but did not block him from messages and he ended up messaging me telling me he wasn't doing it on purpose that he was on his ipad and it was doing that. I just asked him to kindly quit trying until he's at a computer.
^Yep, I have lots of guys that's happening to as well, but if he's staying long enough for the clothes to come off, it might just be that he's a peeker. Also, I haven't had someone do it more than twice in a row before they give up (the iphone/ipad guys) but maybe she just got a really persistent one.
So after a bit of a break from SM (like almost a week) I finally logged back in tonight. Started looking to see where my cam was at, and I was like six pages in and going SRSLY?! WTF?! Last time I was on page 3, so I started there and worked my way back. Tonight, page 2. Woot woot! I know it's not front page, but after a week long break, I'm excited.
^ Weird ... I took a week long break from SM and my placement stayed the same.
Yeah I've taken a couple of week long breaks and my placement stays the same...
Darla, it might not be the time taken off but maybe your Internet speed that's making your placement jump around..
Sometimes my Internet will mess up and send me back, then when I log back in my placement will still be far back but after a few minutes it will correct itself.
I would love to know whether the tv shows are factored in...
Do you know if it just factors in goals that we hit, or if it takes the amount we get for gold shows that we do, even if we haven't made target?
I often set HIGH goals with an incentive to reach them, but do the show as long as we hit the halfway point. So if I set a goal of $200, and do the show at $100...is that show just excluded completely from the TV show calculations, or do they include the hundred dollars when averaging it out?
When do we get our SM paychecks get sent to Payoneer? I was told by support they took me off the 3 week wait but my check for last week hasn't made it to my Payoneer account. Is that normal?
As I mentioned before, surprisingly, I've been able to cam on SM (without the encoder) and AW at the same time WITHOUT using any splitcamming software. Weird, huh? But cool. If I try to cam on AW and ImLive simultaneously, it would make me use splitcamming software like ManyCam. But when I do it on SM and AW, I don't have to use anything.
I think the reason I can do it with AdultWork/Streamate but NOT AdultWork/ImLive is that ImLive has their own HD Encoder (which I use). SM has an HD Encoder too, but I don't use it for now.
I emailed and asked, and TV shows do count just as normal gold shows into our averages, so that's good news.
If you set a goal for $200 and you make it to $100, then $100 is factored into the averages. Whatever you actually reach on your goal, so say you go over by $50 then $250 is factored into your averages. Same for TV shows, you are guaranteed the pay but if you fall short of the goal, whatever amount you actually reach is what is factored into the averages to determine your TV offers.
AWESOME!
I had started lowering some goals so that I would hit them more easily, because I thought that I would get more, or higher TV show goals if I was hitting more goals.
Now that I know it is just what you get, no matter what the original goal is....fuck that!! Time to raise those goals again!
Thanks hon
I have a question. The private shows that Streamate records and posts for others to see...they're posting 30 seconds of it, right? I ask this because A) when logged into my SM member account, I clicked on a model's 'My Videos' area, and it featured a 30 second toy video.
And B) When I'm trying to watch porn at YouJizz.com, I get these pop-up windows to other SM models' rooms, and EVERY TIME it's showing a model in the middle of a private show (always with a toy) for 30 seconds.
What do you think is the "normal" percentage in PAID chat? I have been anywhere from 15% up to 52% daily but usually I am around 30-35%. weekly is 17% and up to 40%
No idea what "normal" would be.
I have a very low percentage in paid chat, usually around 20-30% (although I have been as high as 85% one day), but I have very high rates, so it balances out.
There have been a few discussions on what different people prefer, and on the fact that as a general rule, the higher your rates, the lower your % of time in paid. Well, within a certain range and placement level, that is. Obviously, making your rates a dollar a minute is not going to guarantee you 90% of your time in paid chat!!! But I personally have found (and have heard others say the same) that between around $4-10 a minute, that formula holds true. The important thing is, you make the same $ per hour, you are just spending more or less time actually in chat.
I prefer doing a couple of shows an hour at a HIGH rate, because I can work longer without getting tired. I know that some other girls prefer doing back to back shows at a slightly lower rate, because they get bored in free chat.
For that reason, I tend to ignore the % of time in favor of looking at my earnings, and earnings per hour.
Last week I was any paid chat anywhere from 29%-66% of the time...some of those days I did gold shows, others I didn't...a couple of those I had some long sessions with regulars some I didn't....
Like was said above the general rule of thumb is the higher your rates the less time you'll spend in private but you will make more or the same amount...
Also If you are doing Gold Shows it could significantly mess with these numbers...
Personally I don't have the ability to do $150+ gold shows back to back like some girls but I can hit the $150 mark sometimes so if I do one $150 gold show but it takes me 20 minutes (5 to let the room fill up, the a 10 min countdown and I fail, then another 5 min "speed countdown" to reach goal) + 8 minutes for the actual show...technically the show took me almost 30 minutes to get but the system only counted it as 8 minutes in paid chat so for those 30 minutes I was only in paid chat 26% of the time but I made $50 +...
So If you do gold shows then the % of time in paid chat feature really gets screwed up and loses its meaning.
I usually do very well on SM but this week has been horrible. Do you beautiful ladies experience this?!
Me too, hun.
