    I'm thinking about signing up for TV gold shows but haven't so far because I try to be under the radar as much as possible with camming. For a TV gold show, where is the show actually then broadcasted? Does SM record and then sell to PPV porn channels or tube sites, or do they have their own PPV/premium cable channel or what?
    If you're flying under the radar, then you shouldn't even be on Streamate (or any other site) unless you're 'members only', which means the only way you'll be seen is if they've put their credit card down, signed-up as a member on Streamate. If you really don't want to be seen by anyone in your 'real' life, then that's the way to be on cam. Ask support to help make yourself a hidden model (they don't advertise that it's an option).

    The downside is that you won't be seen on the public home page (which is what you want, if you don't want your boss or neighbors to find you), and SM or your recruiter will tell you you're shooting yourself in the foot (but you're not, trust me, I'm a 'members only' hidden model, and I'm regularly in the top 2 lines). You won't be offered the TV broadcasts because they ARE public (geo blocking won't work) and, as I understand it, will be used as promo either by the producer or Streamate, or both =p

    Hmmm..... not sure what you mean by 'removed free chat as an option'? That's not part of Geoblocking, is it? I'm not seeing it on my control panel =p

    Unless you've specifically ASKED to be 'hidden for members only', then I doubt you are.
    I believe, 5 years ago when I joined SM from another camming site, I specifically asked to be hidden or I wasn't going to be able to switch sites, so SM made me hidden. Unless they've changed their sign-up paperwork, I don't think it's an option they list for you to choose.

    No, its just an option in party chat. It keeps them from chatting, but doesn't stop them from staring at you by simply logging out.

    I've updated my prior reply.
    Unless you signed-up as a hidden model, I suspect you're not one.
    You'll have to contact Model Support to ask if you are, and if you're not, how to become one.

    No you are not in members.
    Remove free chat means you blocked the members without a credit card access to your room to talk to you. Basically, guests.
    You didn't remove your freechat room Your freechat room is the one you appear in and is named "Guest chat".

    It would be so nice if mobile users could actually SEE and HEAR us... That's the bulk of spending customers that can no longer view us or spend. My BIGGEST spender travels a lot and always used his cell phone to go exclusive but after 30 minutes of trying he gave up. My last private it took him around 45 minutes before he could finally connect to private. No wonder $ is non existent... I've also been telling them about the other browsers that the other posters before me have mentioned... Why is this a problem all the sudden? Am I missing something ??

    Thanks guys, I wasn't sure before what that option in settings meant.
    I'm marketing on Twitter so If guys want to look at me before signing up, I guess that wouldn't be too bad. I'm not sure if I want to sign up for members only yet.

    Streamate has me at 200 bitrate, 15 fps and 50 ms. Am I missing something?

    The reason is because SM wants girls to use the cammodels link on social networking to drive traffic to the site. That's why they forbid girls from directly promoting their social network IDs on the site. Because doing so can drive traffic away from the site. The rules are for a good reason.

    Many girls work multiple platforms and promote all on one twitter account. If all girls on sm promoted their twitter to members, then traffic would not be contained as easily. It is better off that way. Everyone wants traffic, of course.

    There's really no reason to have SM guys follow you if they are already members. Those guys already know where you are. It's more beneficial to get other guys to sign up through your promoted cammodel link on twitter, and make money from them. And yes, other sites are okay with girls luring traffic to twitter accounts. But those sites don't invest the kind of money in traffic that SM does. The site does a good job containing traffic, so girls working SM have no reason to lure existing members to follow her on twitter.

    I'm honestly not sure that SM is investing ANY money into traffic lately. From what I heard they actually stopped buying traffic. I really don't think being able to promote twitter would make all the traffic leave. If it would then how are some MFC models making over $30k a month!? If dudes like you, they like you and will come back. I think if a guy knows about SM he probably know about other cam sites already too, and maybe even spends $ there

    Most ladies who are making 30K a month on MFC aren't advertising or using any other cam site. But you best believe if a guy randomly finds my Twitter from SM.. I'm gonna gently guide them towards higher paying venues.

    Exactly. Something happened after "Hell Week" I don't know what, but traffic did go down. Noticeably so. After that week it changed. And no, twitter doesn't make or break traffic. I just think SM needs to throw in the flag and just let go of that bone. Guys go where guys go, if they are a regular and they like you, they will find you and come back. MFC has major traffic jams in rooms. You don't see those numbers in our rooms. Even top models during a gold show countdown. They do not have those numbers. And yes, I know a lot are freeloaders, but still we have our freeloaders, just one to 5 compared to 50 to 600. The numbers are there. The higher the number, the greater the chance. Simple math. And I've watched many a model on MFC because I'm going there next month. Besides complaining, and I hate complaining, I'm moving along with more eggs in my basket. I rolled my eyes about the survey. Reports? I don't need a report to tell me ,from what I see and do every week on SM. I can straight up tell you. And believe me, I did. ;-) What's really sad, is that there's so much potential that's not being explored.

    I agree totally. But SM knows they have a mobile device issue. They have the statistics on how people visit the site and for how long. They know what sites bring them the most traffic etc. I too would like to see the the ratio of mobile viewers vs desktop just out of curiosity. But I already have a pretty good idea that its mostly mobile traffic. I can see from all my own website statistics that mobile/tablet users are the most frequent.

    Yeah, you're right...they know how users are using the site, it would just be useful to send along with reports showing the users who are mobile are having the issues. I like how on Cams you see the icon beside the customers who are using mobile to view the site...that way if you send a report with a screenshot it would help deduce the possible issue. Also, every time someone tells me they can't see me I have to ask "are you mobile?" And try to help them solve the problem. Unfortunately I don't get paid to do support's job.

    I'm a 'members-only model' and I did not specifically request it. It's included in the geoblocking.

    Regarding being a model seen by members only, YES, you can do it without asking support.

    When you click on the 'start my show' button and go under settings, you can set 'allow free chat (members with no credit card)' to NO and that turns it off so YOU don't see it, but it doesn't prevent non-registered members from coming in.

    When you set geoblock for ANY location (even a random city in Europe or whatever), it disables free chat entirely. How? Models with geoblock enabled DO NOT show up in the main page listings on SM OR cammodels. I often hear that white labels don't respect geoblock, but I've yet to find myself on a single white label site main page listing without logging in so that actually seems to be false (i.e. white labels DO honor geoblock). To show up on the main page listings of any site when you have geoblock enabled, the member MUST log in. From there, SM automatically logs the IP address of the member. If, for example, you've geoblocked Seattle, any member with a Seattle IP address still will not see you.

    The only way around this (for non-registered/non-logged in members) is with a direct link (streamate.com) OR with a cammodels link. Members who are LOGGED IN cannot access your room, regardless of direct link or not, UNLESS they use the cammodels link. If a freeloader doesn't know your cam name, he won't be able to get that direct link, reducing the chance of non-registered users seeing you greatly.

    Complicated? Perhaps. Short story is: geoblock more-or-less (95%+) disables free chat users.

    Really seems to have nothing to do with gold shows.

    Happens with private/exclusive shows too. Seems to be an issue with lagging connections between the site and the video stream. I've seen the tail end of privates and gold shows when just casually looking through the site and I notice it seems to happen when the site is having problems and the video streams are lagging through the whole site.

    When it happens do a screenshot of what the guys are saying and the time it happened to Support just to protect yourself in case someone reports you for nudity in free and that way you have proof that you were in a gold show or private at the time they saw you.
