Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
Holy crap, the past 2 months on SM have been god awful. I was doing better over the summer months than I am now!! Apparently guys are finally getting fed up with all the glitches and moving on ... and considering this thread is even a "thing" I think a lot of models are moving on as well. I love SM but I'm at my wits end, what are the other options as for us as far as private based sites? I can't stand token sites. LiveJasmin, cams.com, Flirt4Free, are any of these worth a damn or would I be better off just trying MFC or CB again? TT_TT RIP SM

I am about done ...
You def aren't alone in feeling this way. I'm right there will you.

I don't think trying to find another main site is the best option. I think splitting if you can is the best option. Put more eggs in your basket.

Dammit((. So it's ok for a kiddie party, but not ok for an adult site =/. They should have at least put it into the contest terms I think. Do you by any chance know if "blood stained" clothes are okay?

Enough. I think it's so obvious:
-It's time to look for new eggs
-Streamate Customer Support are 50% bots 50% interns
-They destroyed their own private platform by bringing in bottom tier traffic and contests that create a sense of desperation for not only the models but the customers as well.
-35% isn't enough to bang yourself in free chat.
-SM at this point are abusive pimps. They clearly don't support their models, care about their environment, uphold their own TOS, but want you to WORK WORK WORK WORK WORK. Long and hard baby. Work those long hours troubleshooting your own tech problems which are probably not even on the model's end.
So where do you suggest we go? I've tried other sites. They're just as bad or worse. I just got terminated from MGF as well for something I didnt even do. I am at my wits end with all this and I dont know what to do. I dont want to go back to being an escort, but I will if I have to. I had 2 great days on SM on monday and tuesday. Wed and thurs was a complete bust (contest didnt help). I'm going on now again only because I have to. I have no other choice. I've tried cams.com recently and its worse than SM for me. I cant pay my bills. I know so many other girls are in this situation as well. It's starting to really make me depressed

Well I already have indie eggs in my basket and am def trying to be better about keeping my clip stores updated, so I do agree with you on having more eggs than just SM. But there's plenty of other sites out there that actually have their shit together. SM has been going steadily downhill for a while, and it seems to only be getting worse. I don't have the attention span to splitcam but I would def be down to do a couple shifts a week on another site rather than be stuck here forever because I don't foresee it getting any better anytime soon ...

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
Hi everyone . So I'm normally on the first 4 rows but the past week, I've been pushed to the bottom of the first page..At first my video was pixelating but I'm on a brand new computer and that issue is fixed. Now it's only the placement issue. I also have a brand new 920 and a billion other cams that I've tried. I'm hard wired all the time with a 200 down/15 upload internet. I feel like I've tried everything at this point with no luck :( :( Any ideas?

What modem are you using?
What is your bitrate at?
Do you have any other tech issues?
If not this may be beyond your control. Have you checked your ranking sections to see if it is all good? One time that section was saying a lot fo us did not have audio, even though we clearly did, and it screwed with our placement for a week.

I've been hearing placement is weird for several girls. I'm usually in the middle of page one but I'll disappear off page 1 and get pushed back to page 7+ which is not normal so someone is playing a game of chess with us or it's some mysterious phenomenon..

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
The site is super glitchy and has been all week. Not sure how they think anyone can make money with all these glitches.

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
The code of conduct says defecation and urination are prohibited but then I see someone on the front page offering dirty anal and dirty ATM?.. So showing poop is ok as far as you are scooping it out of your ass rather than pushing?
Why not allow period play, then?

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
My placement was pretty fucked this evening. I'm usually in the top 2 rows, sometimes third if I don't log in for a while, but tonight sometimes after finishing a show I couldn't even find myself on the first page (and couldn't be bothered to find what page I was on). I thought it was just me though. I still made good money in spite of never having very many guys in my room at a time, so I guess it was just a rare quality-over-quantity night for me. I hope it doesn't continue like that though because I seriously feel like I lucked out this time and next time my placement is wonky, I'll probably be struggling to make money.

So true. Like 1/3 of my pvts today ended with "user connection issues".

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
I got my first 1 star rating today, because I would not do drug use in exc chat. Fuck him, I contacted sm support to remove my 1 star and reported the little fucker for abuse. God forbid, we follow the laws and rules, we get members giving us 1 star ratings now. Wow, my first time back after a 2 week break from the site LOL.....seriously wtf is up

they'll remove it - even better if you have a screenshot so they can close his account indefinitely.

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
I haven't been in the forum for the longest time but this week has been so bad for me (hours on not a penny, an hour without nobody talking). And I was going nuts thinking well maybe it's me... It's been my worst week since I started around 2 years ago. I have pretty much no traffic. Fortunately I got a vanilla job for a week or 2 but damn this is killing me! So thank you ladies for sharing and not making me feel so shitty! I did lower my rate by 1 dollar to see what happens *sigh*

Just send them another email titled: Screenshot of abusive member
In the message: enclosed find a screenshot of ____ insisting that I do drugs in exc chat. When I declined he left me a 1 star rating. Please close his account and remove the 1 star rating from my account. Thank you.
If you don't tell them theres an attachment, sometimes they wont even open it or notice it. So be sure to state what youve enclosed, what you want, and how they can solve the issue for you.
I'm super big on reporting abusive users and getting their accounts shut DOWN. it's not just about the removal of ratings

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
4% Paid Chat for the week. 1/3 of my normal weekly amount putting in over 40 hours. What. The. Fuck.

Thanks CamLove
I agree its not about the rating, I am not one that does anything illegal or against the rules. I feel these guys are getting a lot more girls doing this stuff, and for the girls like ourselves that do not do this, they probably feel they can rate 1 star and try to get another model to do so. I have reported members in the past even in my free chat. Just a first in paid chat, I normally explain and the guys are reasonable but some just do NOT care.
Thanks again!

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
Tumbleweeds today.. I was on for 30 minutes and said fuckit. I have better things to do.. plus, my placement has been absolutely fucked for weeks. I am no longer up at the top, I'm halfway down the page at best. Sucs because all my stats are great and I have the fastest internet..

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
I'm so miserable and I'm just hoping to make that last 7 dollars to make payout before the hour is over but I'm tired and hungry and having cramps and almost crying and my room has been empty for huge stretches and I've gotten like 20 TO 1 beggars to actual paying customers ratio.

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
I feel pretty naive and stupid to think if I was open minded and offered a good show I could make decent money at this. How the fuck can I get paid where there's no one even in my room.
