Streamate now has FREE MEMBERSHIPS!
WTF is up with that!! Now any old asshole (Formerly known as a BEGGAR) Can come in streamate. This is complete bullshit , and totally loses some respect points with me. How does it make you feel that know you can get a free membership (no credit card required) and the beggars will be THREW THE ROOF! Know that for damn sure.

Re: Streamate now has FREE MEMBERSHIPS!
its always been this way. They do have to add a CC to the account. They have always been free

Re: Streamate now has FREE MEMBERSHIPS!
how is that?
bc i just tried signing up to see, and it asks for a credit card on file
it says free bc u dont get charged upon registering but they still need a credit card on file

I know... when I saw this I got a dropping feeling in my stomach, similar to when you go down a hill on a rollercoaster

Re: Streamate now has FREE MEMBERSHIPS!
I did notice that if we use the new streamer (if you have PC) then you can choose to allow free guests in your room on the setting page. I never do. .. don't really feel like messing with a bunch of guys who don't even have the means to pay in the first place. Again, I DON"T DO CHARITY!

Is this with the encoder or though the regular interface...or both?
Would love to make sure the free guest setting is off!! Thanks!

I've only noticed it in the new interface that was given to party chatters and I believe the default position is "OFF" . There are other options like how you want your guests displayed (by member level, alphabetical, etc...), if you want default to be party chat or classic chat, etc..
If you don't have party chat and you are just using the normal window, then under settings you just have options for "quality" and "user message alerts".

Re: Streamate now has FREE MEMBERSHIPS!
Well you will be in for more than a shock when I tell you this: You don't even need to sign up to see models in free chat!! Anyone anywhere can see you. Only thing is they can't chat to you.
How do I know? A few years back I was informed by a former customer who could see me on SM in free chat and haven't even signed up.

Re: Streamate now has FREE MEMBERSHIPS!
yeah i knew that!! Thats why i dont go topless!! No freebies!! lol

Yup, you are right on that. That's how I look around. So yeah, ANYONE of any age can see us though, no privacy filters..Good enough reason to keep the fun in private if you ask me. They just can't chat with us unless they are registered.... or unless a model (with party chat beta interface) turns on the free guest chat mode in order to possibly get some of those perving to pay up.

Thats what I do when I check out whats going on in other rooms. I just go on the the homepage and start clicking on people and they cant tell you're in there. Thats why I'm really careful that I'm not scratching my ass or something when no one is in my free chat...you just never know whos watching :O

Re: Streamate now has FREE MEMBERSHIPS!
So everyone knows? Gosh I was pretty mad when i found out. Just when SM could not get any worse. Made me kind of paranoid thinking who or what the fuck was watching me unregistered.

Re: Streamate now has FREE MEMBERSHIPS!
Also I didn't think topless/nude was allowed in free chat? So how come many do it? And not get kicked off?

I watch it all day for free.

Re: Streamate now has FREE MEMBERSHIPS!
I know they and plenty other sites do stuff like that with letting guys watch free chat for marketing...I dont show anything in free so giving anyone something to perv on isnt an issue for me.
...but it would be great to not waste my time chatting with a free member who just wants to "get to know me" and never actually get a show.

They changed that rule when they started the GOLD feature. Topless is ok but fully nude is (supposed to be) against the rules.

True! I'm not a model or a member on SM and I was in a bunch of rooms and yes I saw girls doing all kinds of stuff in free chat.

Re: Streamate now has FREE MEMBERSHIPS!
Maybe I'm missing something here, because when they sent out the instructions for Party Chat, it said that the "free" thing is new but that you can opt out of it and not allow the "free" members (the ones without credit cards) in your room.
Before "free" chat...
Yes, you can look at the models all day long for free and not have to pay and you don't have to sign up or give credit card info. BUT you cannot CHAT with the models. You can see what some of the others guys are writing, but you can't contribute to the conversation. Your name does not show up on the model's page.
Now...
They are adding (or have already added) the "free" option (the old free option is actually called "guest"), so the guys who have NOT signed up and have NOT provided credit card info CAN chat with you. However, you can still opt out.
That's how I understand it to work anyway.

Re: Streamate now has FREE MEMBERSHIPS!
Yes make sure your profile doesnt allow free chat!!! I dont see the point of it really
-
Re: Streamate now has FREE MEMBERSHIPS!
The point for SM is that it's EVEN MORE to the "customer" for free. Customer in quotes because it may be someone who has NO WAY to pay you and never will. But their thinking on it is that there are guys that might not sign up and spend money if they can only see your guest chat, but they might spend if they get some attention from a performer.
I know some of the cam girls are way more "big picture" than I am, but SM does all the free advertising they want and gives away as many free shows as possible. I don't see the need to help in this. In the end, the "free" show may push more traffic my way, but I'll let some other model attract the customer and if he decides to sign up, THEN I'll give him my attention :) teehee

Re: Streamate now has FREE MEMBERSHIPS!
Just curious...
Anyone wonder about how they're "verifying" that these guys doing the new Free Chat are over 18? Because that's another reason I won't do it. Maybe I'm just not thinking of something obvious that they can do, but it seems like they're using credit cards for age verification. Without CC, what's left? I, personally, don't want to be chatting with a 12 year old. I know they can watch us without signing in, but I chat with enough guys who just ACT 12 that I don't need to be chatting with guys who really ARE 12.
Anyone?
