Re: Streamate's Response to Slowing Traffic and less paying customers.
^^good point/question.
Im staying out of this from here on out. Regardless of "different rules" which can't even be elborated on, I think it's safe to say dildoing yourself to oblivion in free chat is a no no for everyone regardless of who you are.
Not only that, it's just not a smart idea to give it all away for "free" to people who are not contributing and have absolutely no intention of ever contributing - why should they you are giving it to them regardless.
If you have to be giving it all away in free chat just in order to "bank" then you're doing something wrong to begin with. Plenty of us "bank" without selling out like that. Reminds me of the girls who get topless half way through a gold show count down, or are topless the entire time. That's apparently the only way they can actually get anyone to do anything. It just baffles me.

I'm just baffled I guess.
i have emailed him and am waiting for a response...you need to understand streamate is not shawns only business, he is into real estate and owns a ton of properties. he is a very busy man. i thought this site was for cam models to help each other out, not bash each other and belittle each other. i thought maybe if i asked here, that MAYBE someone would have some insight to this issue. my encoder needed to be updated, which a very nice someone pointed out on another thread. we get bashed enough from rude guys, i NEVER expected to be bashed here. streamate is shawns littlest venture....he has bigger fish to fry then to worry about us all the time....but, yes i emailed him directly and am waiting for a reply. thanks

i had permission straight from shawn himself...."do whatever you want as long as its making money" still have that email as well.
and there are STILL models doing it today...actually 3 friends of mine are STILL playing gold games and making bank off of it. i am no longer behind the wall. so u can see me anytime you want without being logged on.

This is plain and simple favoritism and a case of looking the other way/ not caring. We're all fully aware that SM does that. It's why studio girls can give it all away in free chat and not be banned., and why "top models" on the site can do pretty much anything, including re-directing traffic, and not get suspended. We get it.
Personally, I prefer to be on the front page having earned it by hard work, make that extra 5%, and not NEED the favoritism b/c I'm making enough to keep my spot and not need to give it away for free/a few dollars. I recognize that SM is not MFC and, despite gold shows, the tip structure only works for a minority of performers. If you can make bank on tips, good for you. But (in MY experience) it DOES encourage freeloaders and beggars, and it DOES make the other performers' online experience more difficult when models agree to dildo their asshole for ten minutes for the thirty people in free chat because someone tipped $5 (just an example).
This doesn't mean that we all rail against it. Many of us accept it as the way things are; we know it's part of the deal for now. But... we don't have to like it. And those who do make our lives more difficult should not be so indignant when we're not all about jumping to their aid. Justifying actions by saying the site looks the other way for certain girls does not change that.
Edit to add: MOST of us do mind our own. However, there are numerous threads regarding "free chat" activities that are supposedly against the site's rules. Models who are known for these activities will meet some criticism by some performers. There should be no surprises here.
yes it does encourage freeloaders...hence why im not doing it anymore. i did make good ass money when i was behind the wall but now i found a new way of making bank...so i do that instead.

I want an email that says that =( I'm not being snarky I really wish I had the green light from him. The things I could/would do....
But just to clarify because I may have misread. Are you saying Shawn gave you the green light himself to dildo yourself in freechat so long as your bringing in the money?

yes i am
Re: Streamate's Response to Slowing Traffic and less paying customers.
This whole Shawn thing doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Why would Shawn "own" a studio to make an extra 5% (which I know equals out to 15%)? I mean he owns STREAMATE! He is BANKING off that. I can't even begin to imagine all the DRAMA that goes with owning a physical studio. I really don't think he would want to deal with the hassle when it would be soooooo much easier to just have everyone working at home or at other studios and not have to deal with the bullshit.
I don't know. I don't buy any of it really.
Re: Streamate's Response to Slowing Traffic and less paying customers.
Blech. That's why you don't let a guy run a studio.
Re: Streamate's Response to Slowing Traffic and less paying customers.
If Shawn is allowing that to go on then why does he still have rules in place?
What if I want to have Skype raffles or get completely shit-faced and stick my logitech up my cunt for 3 gold?
This favoritism thing is bullshit.

I call a mass email be sent with a request to the OWNER OF STREAMATE and MAYBE a link to this THREAD so he will not think we have lost our already insane minds wondering why so many models want the green light.
