I couldn't find myself. I'm usually around the middle of page 1 and I went all the way back to page 8 and still couldn't find myself. I even put my name in the search box and I didn't show up. I don't have geo restrictions, so I'm not sure what was going on. People were coming into my room but they may have been guys that had me on their favorites and I showed up on that?
Don't have a clue why I wasn't listed. I was probably on page 20

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
SUMMARY
Total minutes online: 666
Total paid minutes online: 35 (5%)
This is my week so far. Did a 10 hour camathon yesterday and made 5 gold. Seriously. That's it. I've never gone below 25% for the week before. Fuck streamate. And stop kicking me out and making me log in again!

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
I finally went online tonight again after 3 weeks or so and I thought I'd share my experience. Against all odds, my night was pretty decent... I'd say average from the good old days. This are the changes I experienced compared to the beginning of January:
- More traffic
- Better quality in traffic... Lots of freeloaders but at least no imbecils this time.
- SM kicked me out only two times in 4 hours.
- More regulars (still around 30% of what I'm used to but at least it's an improvement).
- The 3 highest tippers in Gold Shows issue is fixed. Customers can see the list and I can also.
- No lagging, freezing or issues with sound.
- No black screen.
- Customers constantly talking.
I didn't even try the Broadcaster. I used the Encoder, not at 720 but at 800x448. I don't know if that made the difference but I just thought you all should know.
Of course that made my placement awful but at least I could work at a semi constant rithm.
Anyways, just thought I'd share at least a little good news. Maybe there's hope of SM fixing its issues. Maybe it was just luck, idk. I'll try again tomorrow (although Wednesdays are the worst).

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
OMG the encoder is like .... Sike, I'm taking a day off today. Was fine earlier for 2 hours. Hour 3 it started acting all crazy and pixelating and freezing. Logged off and came back an hour later and now can't stay connected for 2 minutes before it acts crazy. Stopped using the crapcaster 2 months ago cause that's even worse. Fix yo shit SM for real fam !!!!
Internet is 300 down/ 50 up , brand new i7 BTW. Always hardwired as well.

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
My check is late. Any west coast ladies experiencing a late check? Grrrrr.

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
I keep getting disconnected. I know it's not me. I have no programs running but the SM Broadcast.

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
My anti virus flagged their software 2 days ago as "suspicious". Great. I know it's legit. However, maybe bad code?

Please SM we love you and don't want our customers going with other sites because they have to. We are their first choice and deserve to keep it that way. With these glitches we are merely becoming assistants in customer erections, and then they go and finish off the real job with another site and model out of necessity! I say no on this. If SM gets weirded out by pages of model rants maybe this is another way to look at it for them to improve. Trying to find the motivation here...
"Bottom feeders". Love it!

I kept getting booted with the Encoder. I switched to the Broadcaster and my placement dropped. I'm damned if I do.....

I have to think this is the reason my big spenders, and guys with 2 or 3 next to their names have been m.i.a. for over a month.
You're right. All that's left are the bottom feeders, and guys I haven't had shows with since 2012-2013. And Even THEY aren't spending.:'(

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
I'm going back on today for the first time this week after the fiasco with my studio and being put in the new model category and losing all my shit. I swear if I don't have a decent day today.. I'm going to just scream! I have fuckin hearses to buy and fix, Streamate! So get your shit together or gtfo

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
And to add insult to injury. Now they're not paying us? ( read through my check reissue thread).
I feel like I'm now working on there for free.>:(
-
Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
This is one of the advantages I get for working with a studio. Granted I get special treatment and get 30% and they barely make any money off me (they really just do it for me as a favor), but that 5% can add up.. and at the same time though, I always know I will get my money every week, on time. Like I said before, SM really needs to get their shit together. How long have we been saying this? A year? Feels like it. Hopefully today doesnt suck as much as this entire week (and last month) has.

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
^^^ Going to look into studio. After 5 yrs with SM, it certainly is a letdown, with how things have turned into a shit show lately.>:(

I hope this isn't the case.
I've never had a missed check from SM until this week. I always get it on Monday or Tuesday. it's $25 to reissue but now I'm hearing ft hat sometimes those aren't even sent out?

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
I think that's why so many girls are starting to take the independent route and backing away from the big box sites. I got fed up with ImLive and Streamate.... they've both TANKED. I'm always looking for new people to join me on my site if they want a place to pick up extra SKYPE shows.
-
Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
I was with EnticeLive for a while and they are an excellent studio based in Vegas. Tracy, who is the model rep for them is AWESOME. I can't praise her enough. I loved everything about them until it came time to get paid. Hopefully the issue they were having with doing direct deposits into my bank account have been resolved. Outside of that I would refer ANYONE and EVERYONE to them.

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
somewhere in the middle of page 1... struggling badly....
just makes me think models on page 2 and 3 or more, how is it for them? omg
Pay for some better traffic, streamate? please? or u want to see us cut our wrists off?
-
Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
I know traffic has not been the best but are there any girls on SM that are NOT having major problems? I know this is the complaint thread but I would love to hear from anybody that is not having problems with the SMB or the encoder or traffic or connectivity or placement?

Update:
Liz replied to my email. She said the reissue was sent out. She thought maybe my address was wrong?
No, don't think so. Got a check, and the 1099 last week.

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
I've had some minor issues but nothing major. Coming back from excl and not seeing myself on the WON page, a couple of disconnections, but thats about it
-
Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
Aside from my placement being kinda wonky the other day I am not having any issues that I know of, am using the encoder currently.
Traffic however is just bizarre. I started out averaging like $70 an hour yesterday early afternoon, but after getting on after taking a short break I spent like 19% in paid chat for the 4 hours I managed to stay on before rage quitting short of my goal. This whole week has been super weird like that.

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
What is going on with traffic? Im on the first page and the traffic is terrible. This whole week on there has been weird
-
Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
Same here^ Now my placement sucks, but even when I was top row I had hardly any traffic. I've been relegated to row 8 now which is ridiculous, now the traffic is even worse
