    Default I think I got stiffed from a customer...

    Or I didn't understand the rules right. This is regarding Streamate.

    The guy I was talking to was in the public chat room. HOWEVER, the tag next to him was red that meant "PRVT" for private. Right? So.... ecstatic but also slightly confused I thought he was in private but only he could see me but not other people --(other people would pop in and out of the room so I that's why I thought this). I also behaved as if he was in private sort of so that's why I feel shitty now when I looked back at the money results to find that I made $0.


    OH NOES. I SUCK!!!

    **The only thing I can get from this mistake is my lack of understanding about SM rates. Their site directions kind of suck IMO. I have a rate setup for premium chat but NOT for exclusive chat. What is the difference between the two? I don't understand!

    If the guy's name appears in the free chat panel, there is no tag that will make that a paid session. I am not sure what tag you are talking about though.

    A premium/private is a paid session in which other people can enter the session. You get paid your rate from each person in premium chat but some guys go in just for a very short peek and don't pay anything. Those are the asswholes that we all hate.

    An exclusive session is a one-on-one session and no other customer can enter.

    At the beginning on an exclusive session, a window will pop up asking you to accept the the session. On a premium session, you just hear a noise, the top (paid) chat panel opens up and then the guy's name appears there.

    I hope that helps.

    Oh no!! Sorry that happened to you. If he was private he would have been in a separate chat box than the other free people. I had difficulties figuring that out as well when I switched to SM, it is confusing at first.

    You don't suck.. hang in there!!! We all have times like that. I had a group of guys stiff me on LJ a long time ago... I was relatively new to the site, they were smooth and tricked me into thinking I was in some type of pvt (can't remember the name of it now). I felt like a dumbass when I figured out what was up. Those hard learned lessons make us better every day, so don't feel so bad.

    Did you by any chance click or highlight his user name and exchange typed messages? Because when you do that you are having a conversation in that he is the only one who can see what you typed...that's all that it means... and there is a red tag next to it that says "prvt." But you're still in public chat.


    And please try not to feel too bad about it... thanks to some kind of a glitch on either my or the customer's end last Sunday night, I ended up being totally buck-ass naked in free chat for I don't want to think about how long. I'm just trying to look at the bright side, I wasn't doing anything hardcore, but still. I know what to watch for next time, live and learn.


    I agree, it would be nice if sm could give us more useful instructions. Maybe they can't afford it or something.

    LMAO.

    Thanks for going over the rules. I think I know what I did. LIke DMaribella, I either selected his name exclusively to chat in public (which I think is stupid --- why would they have this set then, if all people can see you? ... unless it's just to type to him? I don't get it) OR he did some sort of ninja chatroom-hack. Of the two, I'm very sure it was me.

    In any case, I'm resetting my rates. K so it's these baller "pimps" that think a code installer and 'tips' page is more important then a terms definition page? I can live with that. moving on lol

    aw sorry it happened!! You'll soon get the hang of SM. A few weeks back SM had a bug, and because I went out of private and back in again really quick, all the guys who had stayed in my free chat got to see the whole show!!! (me riding a dildo, screaming, the lot lol) for about 10mins before I realised.

    SM's response - it's a bug and we'll have it fixed asap (it is now fixed) - no 'I'm sorry' etc

    As everyone else said don't feel bad. Working for a new company can be so confusing sometime. I once goofed up like you and I felt soooo stupid afterward!!!! I mean I felt like such a idiot!!!! Now I look back on it and just look at it as a learning experience. Anyway it will get better :-)

    Don't worry I actually fell for fake gold once. Luckily it was only $5 and a flash I did

    the same is happening on IL during almost all pvts I end up in freechat while at the same time I still have a paying member. mindfuck lol

    I wonder could they have set that up on purpose, camsites seem crazy about attracting freeloaders

    thank goodness I can click on "pause freechat" so no one could see my steamy hot pvts for free it's really distracting tho

    also Phoenix watch out for the blue icon with letter "i" when someone sends u gold on SM if there is no blue icon next to the text "X sent you X gold" it means the member just typed it and you didn't get anything!

    yeah and I was also once tricked on LJ... pretty damn bad I can tell you! I was so ashamed and in such rage for an entire day... lol I felt almost physically violated.

    I think that's what made me start treating camming more seriously that also led me to finding this forum.

    That option (to chat to only one member) is very useful. I'm sorry it's confusing at first & the guys will do all they can to trick you. But i use it when i want to go back & see what a member has said w/o scrolling all the way up. They took the option away for a while & i found it annoying that I couldn't see what one guy at a time was saying. Maybe you only have one guy in the room worth paying attention to, or sometimes a guy will say he sent u gold but u think it's lost in all the chatter. Click on him & it will show up. But it will have the same format as the "log in"/"log out" lines.

    Also, it's a good way to deal w/ a particularly annoying/ rude customer w/o making the other guys feel uncomfortable or making the mood in ur room negative.

    True the directions are not clear. And they should probably not put " pvt" next to the name b/c of exactly what happened to you. We've all made mistakes on that site we kick ourselves for later. One time i was in free chat for two min until i realized how fast my room was filling up. The rest of the day, the guys who were there wouldn't leave my room b/c they didn't realize it was a mistake & thought i'd do it again. They wouldn't even leave when i was in a show, just sat in free & i finally blocked a few. Probably moreso b/c i was mad at myself. You'll get the hang of it & we're here to help. Good luck.
