Every time there's a discussion about how many seconds the peepers get, the amount of peepers goes up. I guess there's no point of having a dead horse if you're not gonna beat it, right?!

I wasn't aware this wasnt a topic that could be brought up here. Can someone do a solid and erase the entire thread that goes into this in detail in that case? That's how I found this website to begin with. Once again, I didn't know this was off limits. I assumed if an entire thread is dedicated to this then I could mention it.
Maybe some of you OG's can create some Streamate forum etiquettes us new booties don't know instead of calling me stupid, hyori. Some of us have no problem becoming verified but don't know the process or anyone who's a moderator that can walk us through the process.
Erase the main thread about this rather than die over my post on page 891
Can we please post camming sucks/slow in the 'Camming Sucks' thread?

ALRIGHT! Reign it in ladies. I love you all too much for us to snip over the multitude of ways SM has been acting like a brat to many ladies' incomes. Take it out on the site, not each other. *hugs*
Re: concerns over the peepers. SM knows. SM does not give a shit. In the two years I've been with them and brought it up to the higher ups, they've defended the policies in place that lead to abuse of the system. They have their reasons (which are, I think we can all agree, utter shit) and the likelihood of them changing things has very little to do with our opinion on the matter. Seriously--ask the veteran models of 5+ years with SM how often their frequently-voiced and totally valid concerns have been addressed. I think the first time any of us ever heard directly from Liz was during the height of the glitch fest in August/September. It is what it is on that front and what it is is very frustrating to models. It's the reason I don't even offer premium shows and have my exclusive set to a lower rate.
There is NO forum policy that forbids we discuss the exact way in which peepers can abuse the SM system. None of you are going to get in trouble for talking about it. That said, logically, older members of the forum get frustrated when it is discussed in an open forum that customers regularly frequent (and they do--trust me, a freeloader was bragging about reading this site to me just last week). Fudging the numbers or just plain not talking about it, specifically or in general, is really our only recourse out here. Verified (see info on how to join here: https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/sh...ight=verifying) is a safe space to discuss this, but not everyone has been an active forum member long enough to go there. It's frustrating, but generally the 'polite' strategy is to just not talk about this stuff.
Re: camming sucks vs. SM thread postings. SM has been slow/glitchy/a general pain in the ass to many models recently, so it makes sense that many ladies are venting their frustrations here. Being that this is the Streamate thread, it's not off-topic. That said, I think the frustration lies in the slew of vent-like posts (of which I am totally a party, so not pointing fingers AT ALL) that can be found in the most recent pages is that it buries other important posts. When someone comes in looking for technical advice or to discuss a new feature and it gets sandwiched in between 5-10 posts of 'it's slow' or 'I give up,' people aren't getting help or replies that can be followed easily. Hence the suggestion that posts that are more 'vent-like' in nature be taken to the Camming Sucks thread, which exists solely for that purpose. It's not a matter of one being an inappropriate place to post, so much as one being more appropriate than the other.
Yes, this is confusing for new members. I'd suggest another sticky, but the number of suggested stickies + actual stickies would take up the entire front page and be intimidating onto itself. Roll with the punches. Please don't feel personally attacked. I can't vouch for everyone, but I hope you all feel welcome while you're learning the layout of this forum and it's members.
Night all. Happy $$$ making!
How in the actual fuck is it that running the encoder I get a 5 second delay, awful quality and noise at the SM end, but running High HD Wide I get a mere 2 second delay, better quality and no extra sound?
5 second delay -- added time to servers from encoding, but that's a total guess. For what it's worth, that's the optimal delay on the encoder and nothing to worry about.
Better quality -- shouldn't be an issue, but it's the encoder and I'm currently in a very intense battle with mine randomly dropping my bitrate with no explanation despite a solid 18 different trouble-shoots I've tried and support being utterly useless. That started last week from me out of the blue though so your mileage may vary on that explanation.
Extra sound -- probably an encoder setting issue; try moving the sound bar (last option on the encoder on the audio options column) a few notches to the left and it should reduce any feedback. That thing being set too far right can fuck with it sometimes.
Maybe we need a dedicated "Streamate sucks thread" for all people to post in cause in the 'camming sucks' there are many posts not SM related & people want to talk about SM, majority of models on this forum cams on SM & feel like posting in this thread about things that are SM related, no matter the topic, if slowness, tech. issues or other stuff.
It would be cool if camming connection developed separate sub-categories for each of the big sites. Camming discussions originally were in the "other work" thread. Then later CC was introduced. But since then, the camming industry has grown so much. SM definitely should have it's own category. We could have new threads based on different discussions. One could be a thread dedicated to the technical end. Some threads could be stickied. But for now though, having one huge and unorganized thread for one site is confusing for newer girls. Imagine how it will be in years to come.
Thanks, but no use. :( Already tried the sound trick. Even set it to almost nothing and I get loud feedback and can hardly be heard.
The quality is fixed when I up the quality, but the sound gets worse too.
The worst part is, I drop from a view almost every second (where they drop out cause nasty noise) to a view every five or ten at the most. Am contemplating setting up with the encoder and mute to get traffic, then swapping to boost the quality when taken pvt or exc. Desperate times.
OK, so I went crazy and connected my HD webcam and crappy inbuilt mic to the encoder at once. Noise gone, quality better (equivalent to HD Low), custies flowing and staying. Weird, but works. :)
Dear Streamate,
Thank you for being so kind. I now have money for grocery. I feel so blessed!
Truly yours,
Head Hoe/CE-Hoe

Is anyone having any issues with SM's broadcaster. No mater what camera i use i get.. setup error: an error occurred while starting capture devices. Please make sure no other applications is usiing the selected camera and microphone or choose different devices using the settings menu. error description no data received from audio. capture device.
Then i Try a Different camera and have to calibrate it.. and get calibration error, the selected a/v sources could not be started. please make sure no other applications is using the selected camera or microphone no data received from audio capture device
Edited because I fixed it, but will leave it up in case any one else has an issue, even though I unplugged all cams, closed programs using task manager.. I couldn't get it to work until I restarted my computer..
I seriously don't get why most women on Streamate under pregnant and indeed NOT pregnant... most are from Columbia and when I log on at a certain time, my placement is way before them. 90% of the time though I'm ranked well in my category. They might be pregnant, who knows. But i will notice that my category will go from 15 online to 45 real quick then drop all of a sudden.
