Yep, as far as guys, they do that, a LOT..
I had lagging probs., which I think was on their side..guys having probs. too, today & last couple a days..
as far as support, you will get a generic answer, most likely..
where I am it's very windy so that could be part of today's problem

Yea they don't say nothing and act like we are some television show!!! Idiots!!!!
i know! they could at least say hi when they enter, but i guess they can't take they're hands of they're cocks for one sec to push a cpl of buttons. *smh*




Yes last night apparently people were having problems going private. It started happening around 4am so I booted my ass outta there! It wasn't a bad night for me so as soon as it got buggy I said fuck it and called it a night.



I have had lag problems since a week after I joined. I know part of it is my internet upload speed, part of it was my computer (single processor) until I bought a new laptop. now I'm going to switch my ISP and if I have issues after that then I'll know it's with the site itself and I will start looking elsewhere for a site similar to SM with less issues or at least tech support that is willing to investigate the problem and fix it not just it's on the models end with out looking into it.



This seems to be at an all time high.
I personally stick a one word copy and paste, either "gold show" or "free" on everyone's profile when they enter my chat room. If they don't spend, it's recorded. If at any time they should tip, contribute to a gold show or pay for a private I edit the note to remind myself what happened so that I know who is who in my chat room. At one point my blocked list was 1000+ until X-mas weekend I unblocked everyone to see if any of them would convert into paying customers.
I have been doing this for 3 months and what I have learned is that if there are 100 silent lurkers in your free chat per hour, 80 of them created an account to chat room hop without spending, maybe 5% of them will contribute to a gold show and the rest (15%) will buy a show.
This is based on MY own personal chat room. I have a specific look, a style of show and a price range. I know what is bringing them in and I know that some can't afford it, others just don't want to spend and the majority feel entitled to stare/lurk/one handed chat simply because we are there. It doesn't mean this is the same for every camgirl, I just know my own personal statistics.
What I have also learned is that for the most part, my instincts are correct when I do hit the ban button because of those that did come back after unbanning them, I can see in my notes that their same routine continues over and over and over... I gave them 3 more visits, then they were banned again.
I'm not here to be anyone's friend. I'm not here to be anyone's companion. I'm not here to be someone's whack off image... unless they are paying for this service which I am here to provide for a fee.
I agree with you that many treat us like a TV, my favorite saying is their "personal voyeur cam".
I know it seems tedious, but it seems to ease the psychological fuck my cam room used to be. The guys know my rules and those that don't respect my rules also know they aren't welcome.
That said.. I just laugh at the girls who continue to to sit in their chat room topless 100% of the time, bending over, spreading their cheeks, dancing and putting on what is otherwise known as A SHOW. Then they are so upset and disappointed no one paid them for that show. "OH but the real show happens when you hit the button they say".. well duh.. most guys don't need more than your face, your voice or your tit's sweety!! They already creamed their keyboard, why would they pay for it when you did it for free?




yep its Bad.
I feel like im in the French Revolution!!!!!! "Sooooo Many heads sooooo little time!!"
It kept freezing on me yesterday idky
Ugh.... the video keeps freezing today not only for me but for another cam girl friend of mine. I looked in a few rooms and it's doing it to them too! I am tired of explaining that it's not me. It's not my internet nor my computer. I wish streamate would just fix their stuff so everybody can make money, be happy and call it a day. I'm seriously annoyed.
HD icon keeps dropping and my placement is all over the place. I hope it gets fixed soon.
Yep, I keep myself sit on a chair too but with bra and top on i dont show 1 single thing for those cheapos...I dont dance, I dont tease them I dont do nothing, if they have any request my answers are tip for request hun or go pvt. I feel sad for those girls topless dancing like monkeys on free chat and asking guysssssss let's pvt and her room full of freeloarders, but they think is the way to make money???.
Some guys think they're smart, and since I dont show nothing for free they try to spicy my room with some sexual phrases or something to start a dirty talk, I answer straight hun if you want to talk about any sexual related thing pls go to private I dont do it on free chat, sometimes they said like 'but im only asking your fav sexual position' and I answer 'exactly, you will know in pvt, otherwise change of subject or you're out of here' . Have to do it this way since lots of guys even jerk off only reading erotic or sexual things or answer from the performer and imagine lots of stuff, specially if they have a sexy girl on cam.
Others members when you request $X amount of gold to flash boobs, they send less GOLD and said like ok bb I had tip you now flash...I say sure when you complete the amount of GOLD I requested for, otherwise you had loose your money cause I wont flash boobs. So they complete the amount after it. Rude??? maybe, but that's what we are here for.

If the guys don't speak..I kick them out. I've had a few come back and actually speak then take me private. I think they just have bad manners. It's fricken rude to pop into someone's chat room and not say 'hi'
But yeah, the encoder was lagging today really bad just when someone wanted to go private. I had to log out and re-install it. I think it is definitely sm. The site is crappy as far as streaming. You would think they would want to fix it.

I personally feel like I have tried everything. I'm the only one using my internet. I'm not running any other programs. I even tried streaming without the encoder.. ALL of it is terrible. My internet has a good speed of 28ish download and 2.5ish upload. I know it can't be me. I instructed the guys to email streamate about it. I did a couple of gold shows. The first one I told people I didn't think I would do because of the video and a guy put in 100 gold towards it. I just feel bad because I don't want to be giving them a sub par show because of all the freezing. I wonder if mass amounts of emails from the custies would make a difference and make streamate actually fix these issues? Eventually nobody will want to be on the site models and customers alike if things are not taken care of. :/



I do have problems with the encoder, that thing so does NOT work for me.
Without it I stream on "cable highest" and that works perfect.

This morning I had surely the weirdest "non speaker" ever. He was n FC vor about 3 minutes, got pvt said "ello" and nothing else. I made a show for him and after about 15 minutes he said thx
His name sounded Greek-ish

Oh my God, I am SO glad I am not alone on this! I actually came on here to make a thread about this Exact same problem! I took a few days off, tried logging on yesterday using the encoder like I always do, and I COULD NOT log on! I would press "start my show" but I never got the pop up with the external stream information. I spent three hours defragmenting my computer, cleaning out my files, etc. I thought the problem was on my end but every other site I go on works fine. I couldn't work SM at all yesterday.
This morning I tried streaming with the encoder. The same few guys kept logging in and out without saying anything, and some are regulars so I thought it was a tech problem. Yep, after 10 minutes I got magically disconnected. I tried streaming without the encoder using the highest setting for cable and after 6 minutes of literally No One coming into my room, I decided to check my placement. SM had me as being offline, even though on my end it looked like I was streaming. WTF is going on and how do I fix it?! I need to work, and my only back up sites at the moment are mgf and stripville. Not cool. Please someone tell me if I am doing something wrong!
Just an idea, but some of the non-speakers might be voyeurs. They should tip though.
I'm sure most of the guys are just being jerks, but you never know.
Then again, a lot of ladies are having the freezing cam issue. That doesn't exlain why there would be a room full of people not talking though. They'd just leave right?

i just wanted to say that i don't mind some that don't speak and lurk - that is fine but when i got a room full and NOT ONE person bothers to say a thing. (i am always in party chat mode too) even when i am trying to engage with ppl in my room: making jokes, being goofy, making conversation, saying hi and welcome to ppl who come in my room and still..... crickets. it pisses me off! and is bad etiquette, they come into our room so we have the right to take control and impose our rules! i have been seriously laying down the law lately and it has been working to my advantage. i am tired of these guys who they think can do whatever the fuck they want. anyways it has been alot more pleasant being on cam since i put my foot down. sorry for the threadjack, just wanted to get that off my chest.
Yesterday I was split camming between cams and sm and there was one guy on sm that came in my room didn't say hi just said "your camera sucks" so I was asking the guys on cams if they had a problem with the feed. . .nope they did not. . .. SO I gonna say its Streamate!!
Just had to vent: I was in the middle of a Loooong exclusive show with one of my best regs and SM decided to disconnect me at 35 minutes in. This guy and I regularly do 60+ minute shows, I know we could have continued for a while. Logged back in, my reg came back in free chat, and told me my video was completely frozen even though it looked perfect on my end. He kept logging out and logging back in, as did another guy who's been waiting for days to do a show with me.
So kind of related, some guys may not be saying anything because they're having a problem seeing you and aren't nice enough to say anything about it. And then some dudes are just lurkers, but I honestly think that for me, today it's the former. At least my reg let me know what was going on, like I said on my end everything looked good so I would have had no idea guys weren't able to see me.





Some guys don't say anything because they are trying to get a feel for the girls personality, their style, how they handle themselves, etc. before they decide to drop money on her. This doesn't bother me one bit.
Here's my personal rule: if a guy comes into my chat consistently and never speaks, I give him two weeks to speak/take me pvt/join a gold show. If he doesn't, I block him. If a guy comes into my room consistently and IS talking, but hasn't bought any shows, I give him one month. If he hasn't tipped/taken me pvt/joined a gold show in one months time, I tell him why I'm going to block him and at that point they have a decision to make - shit or get off the pot. Sometimes they shit, sometimes they are forced off the pot by way of a ban.
Also, in regards to guys coming into your room and never speaking, last week I noticed a few times that there would be a guy that comes into my room and sits there ALL NIGHT LONG. It was a couple different names, not the same guy each time. I send him messages, nothing. Talk out loud to him, nothing. When I go into private he's still there the whole time. I found out that he wasn't actually in the room at all. His username was "stuck" in the room list. I realized this when I was not able to kick or ban him. The only way for him to be removed from the list was to stop my stream and start it again.

they can see me alright, i have always checked my streaming from a custies perspective and my feed has always been working fine. strangely i haven't had any glitches on sm *yet* so i have been pretty lucky. i also i don't mind guys that come into my room that don't have money atm, just so long as they aren't begging and they are keeping the mood and convo flowing nicely in my room. i do put them to good usebut i first warn the beggars and i tell them that if i hear one more beg, i lay down the ban hammer no exceptions, i did manage to get *some* beggars to go prvt that way surprisingly but i cannot stand the begging at all and will not tolerate it. if they want me to sit up, twirl, pose for them - they can tip me to do so or they can look at my profile pics to see my body, that is what it is there for - free chat is where they can get to know me and get a feel for me - posing for every douche that asks takes energy from me to perform properly in prvts, energy=money. if i feel like dancing around, i do it on my terms not theirs.
