Re: Streamate's Response to Slowing Traffic and less paying customers.
Thats NOT what I'm saying... please do not confuse this.
I"m saying that you are behind the wall... this leaves you visible to ONLY logged in members. So the risk is less - its still a free area and MAY result in a complaint or an issue - in this particular case, a support team member saw you and took action (they may not have noticed you were behind the wall).
I'm just explaining that I do not give permission for people to do nude shows... period. You are behind the wall and can do your shows, but know that it may cause issues as you are still exposing yourself in a free area (even though its a logged in free area). It has nothing to do with my permission etc... its just that you are in a more protected area.
We have A LOT more members than we used to have... so more exposure can cause some issues. Obviously it can be fixed if it happens - but it may happen, its the risk you take.

this is from liz about being behind the wall...YES IT EXISTS!

Re: Streamate's Response to Slowing Traffic and less paying customers.
There is already a note on the account - its just that most have no idea what that means.... because there are only a few people who have this feature turned on.
I've sent a message - but I can't promise it wont' happen again

Re: Streamate's Response to Slowing Traffic and less paying customers.
The "wall" is just geo blocking restrictions. You can are only visible to members who are logged in and not in your restricted area, or if you know the direct link to the persons cam you can also just view it that way. It DOES NOT give you free reign to go to town in free chat. Below the belt nudity is STILL FORBIDDEN in free chat - AKA not in private, exclusive, or gold show (gold show countdown is still free chat) regardless if you are behind some "wall" or not.
The "wall" discussion came up on stripperweb when several models saw you, TrinaBanks, in FREE CHAT doing HARDCORE SHOWS for...... FREE.
Which as you might know, enrages most of us cam girls who try to keep the demands for action in FREE chat to a minimum. So, if you continue to do hardcore shows in free chat, I hope you continue to be suspended.

^^Edited to add: Thanks SarahTime! It seems as if I was asking while you were answering at the same time. It is like you read my mind! ;)
Ok, I've totally missed something. There is a wall? What the heck does it do?

Re: Streamate's Response to Slowing Traffic and less paying customers.
'Behind the wall' does not work. You can still see a model if you are not logged in.

Yes, there is a wall. SarahTime, you are NOT behind the wall, in case you're wondering.

I realize I'm not behind a wall. The "wall" appears to be some term Liz used for "geo blocking" aka - not being visible on the site if you are not a logged in member. I have had several back and forth emails with Liz about this "wall" where she clarified to me where this MISCONCEPTION came from. She requested that I NOT post the emails on stripperweb, so I wont.
The "wall" is geo blocking. Period. The end.

Yep, you can see her through her cammodels link I found if she is "behind a wall"...and if you'd like to do stuff "behind a wall" do it somewhere that is more of a tip site like MFC vs SM.

Re: Streamate's Response to Slowing Traffic and less paying customers.
The wall is NOT geo blocking. Members have to be logged in to see you. GEO blocking is blocking out Countries, City's and States, zip codes ect.... You can also be seen by your cammodel links. Infact, when it was first started, u could do what u wanted for members logged in, until they changed it back to the same rules as "free Chat".
Studio girls don't have the same rules as at home girls, it's a fact....I ran the Vegas studio for 2 yrs.
Streaming in HD/using encoder
Top girls/earnings
The most hrs logged on
Studio girls/contracted
Porn star contracts ect.... are what get u listed on top.

I honestly believe this. But its still mostly due to how much $$ you make per time online. And yes, I'm sure categories are weighted because even when I was offline for weeks, my placement skyrocketed right back when I got listed under Porn Star.

Yup! On my busiest days where I have met my goal and then some it's never been higher than 50%, Yesterday for example, I spent a total time on cam 214.95 minutes but at 9%. I didn't do great but not as bad as I have been doing. I'm finding it hard to believe some girls are doing 80% in reg private chats, maybe gold shows, the gold show numbers are skewed.

We can still see girls who are "behind the wall" in free chat, doing hardcore shows for free/pennies.
And nobody here like's that.

Hello,
Thank you for your message! User traffic if anything has been
increasing. User traffic to specific accounts is impacted by placement
on the site though.
Placement on Streamate is impacted by a number of things. Primarily you
should be streaming in HD using the HD encoder. Beyond that, use of
audio in free chat, your performance and user ratings have an impact as
well. Top rated, highest quality streams are those that are displayed
most prominently.
If you are not using HD, we highly recommend that you try it out!
Let us know if you have any further questions.
Did you ask them how they define the term "user traffic"?
Revenue is down and traffic is down. A, "user" could be a camgirl. Perfect example is ifriends; their user traffic is more camgirls than actual paying customers.

Yeah the gold show % might be high but they certainly are not earning as much.

Re: Streamate's Response to Slowing Traffic and less paying customers.
If there is a "wall" then why the fuck can I still see this garbage on the cam models page? Oh well I don't care anymore.

Exactly what I was wondering and was confused by.....besides I guess there are some guys who will stay pay after seeing everything for free, but a lot that won't...I don't understand the logic of a "wall"
