    They really need to go over the rules and send it to support staff so the rules can be enforced consistently.
    Basically what you need to remember is unless you are one of the top girls on SM (and by top girls I mean one of the 10 or so that it's in the number 1 slot when you log on) the rules that are set out apply to you 100%. Those girls (by SMs standards) are special, and a number of them are in the studio owned by SM. So, the rules will never be enforced consistently, if you factor in those girls.

    I am honestly getting exhausted by hearing girls complaining about how some girls get away with this and that. Just accept that it's a fact of how SM runs things. I've accepted it, if guys in my room ask me why I can't do X,Y or Z if SoandSo can, I tell them it's because she's a top girl and I'm not and therefore she gets away with more things and they go "Oooohh, okay, well, I mean, that makes sense, but it sucks for you, doesn't it." If you want a site that lets you do whatever you want, go to MFC, otherwise, accept that some girls get special treatment, there. /rant
    (Sorry, I'm very irritated with SM today, so I'm just in an all around pissy mood)

    You are not the only one. I think we've had some mature and intellectual discussion... I hope we can let it go AND move on...

    They could easily add a section in their FAQ stating that only studio models can sell panties, videos etc because of privacy reasons.

    I'll see what support says when they reply to my email. Unfortunately there isn't an FAQ section for the rules for gold clubs. So you just have to submit & see if they approve it.

    Amen, sista...lol. A discounted show SHOULD be enough. But suddenly, the AMAZING deal of $5 Gold for a 5 minute show isn't good enough for these guys. Don't worry about it though, Jane. No matter what, there are still gonna be guys on SM who are willing to spend $5.99/minute for exclusive or whatever price you're charging. So you just keep on doing your exclusives/premiums without giving Gold shows another thought.

    Wow, I'm actually glad that I gave Streamate another chance yesterday and today. Even if I don't make super awesome hourly amounts on there like y'all do, it's still better than what I used to make at "regular jobs," and I get my money the next day. Cool.

    As a SM model, I like the idea of that woman getting fired.

    Smh, how is a model not getting paid for a gold show none of a customers business? They're giving gold to a model thinking that its(or at least a portion of it is) going to her. Some customers actually care whether or not a model is getting paid and is being treated fair/right.

    Yep and the way she answered him was very telling. She sounded annoyed like that was the 100th time that she'd been asked that question or addressed the issue.

    They're not going to ADMIT that. They claim that the rules are the same for everyone, they just turn a blind eye to specific girls. They'd never ADMIT to it though.

If you are new , just wait, we dont have answers for approval.......... and pages and pages and pages pages pages pages pages pages pages MODELS BASHING SM pages pages pages pages pages pages MODEL BASHING .. geez.. pages pages pages pages pages pages pages pages pages pages SAME SHIT pages pages pages pages pages pages Now we are concerned with customer support? WTEVERLOVINGFUCK pages pages pages pages SO MUCH SHIT TALKING pages pages pages pages pages pages pages pages pages pages pages pages pages page flip flip flip flip flip flip flip flip flip flip flip flip flip DO NOT LIKE TO READ BC IT IS PAGES OF DRAMA

    this is worse than a fucking dressing room.

    Can we get back to useful info?


    If you are applying for a JOB @ streamate , its great to know that you know CS sucks and you are applying for a hourly wage gig.


    If you are a model @ streamate , CS is not going to be resolved on SW. Why worry your little hearts out now? This has been going on for a few years. It is not new. No worries nothing has changed except we stream HD, encoding, gold shows , tags, Free chat custis, boobs in free chat <--- we have control over this.

    We do not have control over customer support, that is not our gig, we are indy contractors that receive 1099's. It is up to the individual model if she/he chooses to continue with streamate. If it is hated so much , why drown this thread with so many debbie downers?

    I dont get the concept of endless bashing pages of useless info and how this is suppose to be helpful?

    Customer Service has always been this way, always. What they tell customers is the exact thing we agreed to such as "disconnecting from gold shows early and not receiving the gold" MOST CUSTOMERS DO NOT WANT TO PAY FOR DROPPED SHOWS. NOT TO MENTION AGAIN , WE AGREED TO IT.

    go to a movie, let the film snap almost at the end when shit it getting good and guess what? The theater eats that and issues you a new movie ticket or refund. I would feel fucked over if the theater didnt recognize that I did not get my whole 8 bucks worth and highly pissed. The pissed off custis outweigh customers that "care"

    AND THAT IS JUST HOW IT IS... RESUME CAMMING AND MAKE A FUCKTON OF MONEY BC IT IS WAITING BEHIND THAT PRIVATE SCREEN

    WORD IS BORN

    I don't really see the problem with models bashing anything Streamate-related in this thread... To me, this thread (bitching about site issues, etc, included) is still majorly informative in the sense of it all portraying much about the sites culture and overall feel. I'd certainly want to know this info as a newb.

    And yes, as a model I'd absolutely worry about how the site is treating my clients, especially if they are actually encouraging them to not give a shit about the performers whose money they are getting the biggest chunk of. Yes, it seems that there have always been issues; but it just turns out that lately (that guy's YouTube channel showing CS phonecalls, plus a member of Streamate Twitter behaving pretty badly to models), there have been fresh issues regarding SM's treatment of models and customers... and those who have been affected by those issues naturally want to discuss them and / or vent about them.

    How SM treats it's models and customers is important and relevant to many of us, because it affects all of us - whether we've directly been in contact with CS, Support, or not.

    I've still found it interesting and relevant.. even if completely infuriating due to the nature of what's being discussed.

    You can't have a site as riddled with glitches and technical fuck-ups as SM, and not a thread for SM site that doesn't cover them... Those affected by them are always going to want to bitch about them, and I'd say that's understandable. Plus they're going to want to reach out to see if those specific issues are only affecting them, to try to weigh out if it's an issue that is affecting the whole site or a problem on their end they need to fix...

    I am hearing you though tempting.. I just wish SM would listen and care a little more about their issues, so that this thread wouldn't need to be so littered with upset performers in the first place.

    Regarding the YouTube customer support video...

    This guy had called more than once, and customer support is just that- customer support. So they don't have to address the question about models being paid because it is not the customers business nor concern. When the woman on the phone says "it doesn't matter if models are paid" she is saying that to the customer it is none of their concern. Do you really think she was saying that in general it just doesn't matter if models are paid? No, she's not saying that.

    I get that a lot of customers care about the model being paid but its not up to customer support to explain to the customer why a model is not paid if a show is cut off. It's just outside their scope of responsibility and if the customer cares that much I am sure his favorite model would be able to explain to him why the system of gold shows is set up how it is. This is not what customer support is for.

    I agree she could have handled this better but clearly this guy is trying to be obnoxious and upset the employees. He is directing his issues at the wrong people. Customer support probably is not given up to the minute status updates in glitches and errors because they are customer service, their purpose is for billing issues, account problems, etc. This guys beef is beyond the scope of customer service so I think it's quite unfair to purposely provoke an employee in such a way.

    And, by making the CHOICE to do gold shows you accept the risk of possibly having a disconnect and not being paid. Remember also that the customer is not charged in that instance either so Streamate is also not being paid. So why would Streamate disconnect models? I hear that a lot "Streamate disconnected me". No, "Streamate" did not just choose to disconnect you. Clearly there was a connection issue between your end and theirs. If we aren't paid, they are t paid. It does not benefit them to "disconnect" you.

    Not paying a model if the show does not finish is a way to prevent abuse of the gold show system. Think about how many models would "oops disconnect" if they knew they would be paid regardless if they did the did the show or not. 1 minute in and oopsie disconnect! Then they pocket money for no performance. It's a way to prevent abuse that would be rampant if there was not a system in place to prevent it. And the good thing is that you can choose to take the risk and do gold shows, or you can choose not to. It's YOUR choice.
