Does anyone know the official calculation system behind these stars?
no, but I would love to. I have gotten many five start ratings...in the neighborhood of 20 a week for almost 4 weeks and my rating is still stuck at a 4.5 star. O_o It never ever took me this long to get my rating back up before.
i get a lot of five star ratings, a few four stars, and every now and then i'll get a one or two star (like 1-2 a week or every other week that i work on sm) but it's never actually brought my total number down - i've always had five stars. sometimes the one or two star ratings will disappear from my earnings page after a few days (i guess support reviews them?) but they always still show up on my "bad ratings" page in my model panel.
I get a lot of four and five stars, I had two 1 stars drop me down to a 4, and I have gotten a ton of 5 stars since and I'm only up half a star...it doesn't calculate for me...
I was just wondering about this too. I've had a few jerks rate me 1 star lately but I mostly get 5's. Now all the sudden I have 4 and a half. This has never happened and I've been there for over a year.
I am a 5 star. I steadily moved up. My weekly averages seem to be around 4.9, every once in a while I will get a 4 star, I have rarely gotten 1 star (maybe 6 or so since I started in December).
I found that when I increased my rate by $2.00 the calibre of men I was getting went up. I was at $1.99 for a long time and was afraid to raise it thinking I would not have as many clients. One day I said, "what the heck lets see what $3.99 does" and raised my rates. I immediately noticed I was getting longer privates and more 5 star ratings.
Bottom line is cheap men will give you poor ratings. Stop pandering to cheap and don't be afraid to raise your rates, you will notice the difference in your ratings!
I'm at 3.49 and 4.99 right now, I don't think I pander to the cheap. Sometimes bad ratings have nothing to do with your price per minute. Although I do agree with what you said in theory, Ojenni. I got a one star for telling a guy to behave when he called me a whore. The other I got because I wouldn't fist my ass for a client. Both of these I got at my current prices. Sometimes it just happens, but it doesn't seem like it being an average is all there is to it.
When I was on SM last year my ratinf would go down for whatever reason and it never took me more than a week or two to get it back up to 5...this year its like pulling teeth, no matter how many 5 stars I get...
i'm at 2.49/3.79 right now. it seems like every time i raise my group prices above 2.79 i barely make anything, but maybe i'll try again soon.
I agree Candace. My rates are about the same as yours and I'm getting a few one star ratings for the same reasons (not fisting my ass or asking a guy to be nice). Quite a few 5 stars used to balance it out but it seems like things have changed and not in our favor:(
I looked back at my ratings a few months ago and many of my ratings disappeared. When I look back to months like june it says I got 3 ratings the whole week. I average around 60-70 ratings a week, and somhow streamate lost all of my ratings. Essentially I went from 300 5 stars to 100, that coupled with a bad week and I went down to 4 1/2 stars. I emailed streamate about it and they blew me off.
yes, along with toys, anal, c2c, and phone/fetishes/rp in excl...pretty much everything i can. i'll try raising them again soon - i do it every so often because it seems like my prices are much lower than many us girls w/ good cam quality, but i have such a difficult time every time i do. and it's not due to regs - i don't have enough regs to worry about them being pissed about the price increase, lol. i can't figure out why.
Candace, that is exactly what happens to me. I haven't dropped to a 4, but I constantly toggle between 4.5 and 5. I can have twenty 5 stars, then two 3 stars will put me back to 4.5. Then it seems like a few days before I get back to 5. I'm very curious about it!
