    I refuse to let them rip me off over and over. I hate having to do this, but I have a ban list. Three strikes and they are out (or sometimes just one if I'm feeling especially angry about it).

    but they leave before I have time to ban them, and there is NO way to ban by username.

    yeah it's fucking lame and there is NO EXCUSE in the world for it. When I worked on stream I put a warning on my profile which seemed to help LOADS. Basically my warning was if I caught you come in more than once =auto ban but yeah too bad we can't ban by username.

    Yes that happens to me too, thus the list!

    They are almost always repeat offenders.

    I hesitate to ban the very first time because it could be they got interrupted or cut off, but if they do that over and over, then I have my list ready and boom goes the ban hammer!

    Maybe they want you to give a specific amount like " Hi I would like to raise my amount to $6.99 per minure for pvt chat pls"

    Yeah.... just tell them more specifically, "I'd like to change my rates to 5.99 for pvt, and 7.99 for exclusive, effective immediately."

    Once they do that for you, you will be able to log into your own account and adjust things.... you will see that your drop down list of possible prices has expanded. Hang on... lemme log into my account and see what mine says....

    OK... looks like I can set my pvt rate anywhere between 0.99 and 10.99/min... and..... for exclusive, I can set it anywhere from ... oh - same. 99 cents to 10.99.

    I once saw a girl who had BOTH prices set the SAME.... which I thought was a very clever thing to do if you want only exclusives (avoids having the 30-second wankers peek in on you), while at the same time making them think they are getting a sneaky deal. You can even tell them "OOPS, I MEANT to set my exclusive price higher, but I guess it didn't "take".... so oopsies.... i guess you guys get to have me all to yourselves for only $x.xx until I get it fixed!!!" Like... to the guys, it looks like a 'glitch' that they get to 'take advantage of'. Just something I thought was interesting.

    It is interesting that you say that because the same thing happened to me. I never even thought about it before. I once had a membership account and I took someone private for a second just cause I wanted to know how people started out their shows. Every time I took someone private, their image would freeze. I still got charged for it but I only selected the 1.99 girls to watch. But I also got charged 1.99 for the first minute. I think maybe a lot of guys would stay in our group show longer because maybe they get out of private because the cam freezes for them too.

    Great! Did it, hopefully they will respond... and hopefully i can lurch up my price without too many complaints.

    for a while I had both my rates set at 4.99 but i lowered them to 4.39/4,99 wich made me more cash. That 60 cents difference got me 5 people in private at times. The money added up a lot faster.


    + don't get that many 30 sec peeps when I cam. Just lately doing some nights. New years, christmas. etc.

    on imlive there's that option to ban them by username. They should add one on stream too (maybe ask them for? at least this they could do for the models)

    Static means STILL. its does not keep changing, and moving....

    when they do the snaps every so often and it shows up on the outside of the chatroom, sometimes they are just plain hideous.

    lmfao

    That was the lowest one I saw! I was kinda shocked..
    I told my friend to tell me the next time shes on so i can check to see if her rates match..

    I'm having some issues with streamate right now, its really frusterating.. My original account was created under a studio, and I was only making 18% I had the first account deleted and I'm trying to set up my new one since I'm working from home now, but support keeping sending me in circles like "your documents could not be processed because you already have an account" "yes we see the old account was deleted, upload your documents again" "already has account" "upload again" and over and over!
    IM GOING CRAZY I JUST WANNA MAKE SOME $$$!!

    I signed up for MFC and i'm now waiting for that account to go thru.. whats the biggest difference between the two sites?

    Night and day....Tips and almost NO tips...Public shows, and NO PUBLIC SHOWS ALLOWED...etc.

    There are several great threads on here to explain the differences...and they are many...

    PS. My favorite is that Stream pays 35% and MFC pays OVER 50% depending on the token cost for customer.

    Y'know ladies...I have NO ideo of the truth of this or not...but what you guys SEEM to be reporting is that guys DO get charged for the first minute...but you DON'T get paid....which would fit right into the evil Stream...In other words...if a guy comes in and stays for 10 minutes, he gets charged for 10 and you get paid for 10...but if he stays for 20 seconds, he gets charged for ONE and you get paid for ZERO...and stream just pockets all those minutes....

    Something to check out.....

    Ok...lemme re-phrase...dumb of me....I meant 20 seconds (and will fix it)...

    If a guy stays 29 seconds, according to those who have tested it, He STILL gets charged because some people here did it...20 seconds, or a few seconds and they got charged...However, what needed to be checked was...Did the GIRL get paid...

    You need to see both sides of this experiment to know if this is a scam of not...

    I have done it, signed up with my dudes card. The first 20 seconds are free for sure, and its easy to bounce from pvt room to pvt room for free..
    Sorry if I freebie-peeked anyone here, it was for a good cause. And yes, you can keep entring the same models pvt show over and over and not get charged.

    That's a fucking incredibly bad Glitch! Why would they write software that does THAT!? I gotta ask my programmers about that...literally unlimited free shows...20 seconds at a time...

    Stream just gets worse and worse...

    Sigh...

    Dang I feel for it today. Got a private, dude asked me to take my shirt off immediately. I sat there and talked a bit, went slow. Then finally I stood up and pulled my shirt up just barely over my boobs and he exited. I thought I had let 30 seconds pass but I was wrong. I didn't get paid.

    It always hurts when that happens.

    I really like the changes that SM have made recently. Now they just need to get rid of the 30 second issue and sort out the % and I'll love them!

    I was thinking about % the other day. I know traffic is not comparable but:
    Cams.com (Streamray) say that they pay out up to 45% of revenue AFTER billing costs (10%) and MARKETING costs. They have their published marketing cost as (25%). So, say SM pays more out in marketing - like 30% of revenue or something - and 10% billing (which seems high given the turnover) that would still suggest that they have 60% of takings left over to split with us, and a 40-20 (or even 50-10) split would seem fairer.
