    Default SM Block Sessions

    I had a block session the other night which abruptly ended on the custies end and he never came back to finish it. I emailed support because the payment info never updated and this is the reply I received. I figured I'd share since the information is unclear elsewhere.

    If a user purchases a block session but is only able to complete 2
    minutes or less of the time they are only billed for the minutes they
    actually used. This is because if they leave the session within 2
    minutes they may be having technical difficulties. Once they leave the
    session they have 2 hours to come back to your room and complete their
    time, but if they do not come back they are only billed for the time
    they used. Let me know if you have any other questions.

    what the guys do is disconnect on purpose. I have had a guy do it twice but he uses a proxy so i couldnt ban him. Its a way to get a cheaper price and less time.

    they must have started doing this recently cuz i did a 30 min block like two months ago and the guy left after 10 min and i got paid for the whole thing. they must have had a good amount of guys bitch about it. that sux tho cuz now they are gonna use this as a new avenue to scam us to death. like the 30 sec free thing isn't bad enough? ugh. well thanx for the heads up on that, i will just disable the block feature completely, that 'discount' won't be worth it to me if they aren't willing to take that risk, someone is always going to be getting screwed over and i won't have it on my shoulders.

    Me too. And it was actually my fault. I hit my power cord on my laptop and it shut my computer down. The guy bought a 45 minute session and we were only 5 minutes into it. I got paid for the whole 45 minutes. He never came back but he message me and I told him what happened and I told him he should be able to get a refund if he contacts support. I had no idea at the time that he could come back and finish. I don't know if he did but I definitely got paid for the entire 45 minutes.

    Its always been under 2min and they don't have to pay the full block amount. All this means is take 120 sec before u get to "work" or do block with regs only.

    It's just two minutes though. If they make it past 2 minutes you get paid for the full thing.

    That's not what the e-mail says. The e-mail says that they will only be billed for the exact time used if they leave within 2 minutes. But they also will only be billed for the exact time they used if they don't come back.

    This is why I'm very careful with block sessions. I had a guy who kept coming back for a couple minutes at a time. There are things that I only used to offer in block sessions, and this is why I had to stop doing that. I complained about it one time and was credited the full amount of the session. The guy wanted me to change outfits, I said only in a block session, he got the session, left within the time limit so I was paid for only part of the session and then had to change clothes again so I could log back on to make money. I complained about it and they credited me the money. But I will not do block sessions anymore or if I do them, I don't do anything "special" within the first few minutes.

    Hmm that doesn't sound right. So if a customer purchases a 15min discounted block session and leaves after 10 mins they only get charged for 10mins at the discounted rate. I thought thy woul get charged for the full 15 mins. This is based on cam_model_Jess not op's info. Because if this is true there is no reason for streamate to even have block sessions.

    No, if they leave after 10 minutes, they will be charged for the full session but can come back within 2 hours for their additional 5 minutes.

    I was just pointing out that SM's e-mail didn't make any sense. They do not list this rule anywhere, which means they can change it at any time.

    And that's why I don't often do block sessions. If the guy has technical difficulties, I agree that he should have 2 hours to come back and complete the show, but he shouldn't get the discounted rate if he doesn't come back. They should charge the full amount for the time he is in the room. And I'm laughing at SM saying that 2 min means difficulties. I guess that means that every 30 second hero also has internet trouble?

    Ms.Lacey, if that guy is doing it to you, he's probably doing it to other models too. The thing that's REALLY stupid about that? He probably thinks he's cool for being smart enough to figure that out. Truth: he's pathetic for needing to rip you off just to save a few pennies.

    Well they're the idiots because if they think it takes me a long time to "get down to business" in a regular show, they will lose their mind in my block sessions. I haven't even taken off a sock yet at 2 minutes. When I know I'm working with a block of time, I pace myself and in my head i'm thinking "what the hell am I going to do for 45 minutes?". So yeah if any so-called schemers try that on me, they'll be sorely disappointed. We don't see any nudity until at least a quarter of the way into the show.

    Okay I think I can clear this up. If the customer leaves before 2 minutes they are charged at your normal rate. If they leave after 2 minute they are charged for the full block session at the discounted rate. So either way you are paid.

    Now if the customer comes back within 2 hours you must accept to finish the block session if they request it or you will only be paid for the amount of time he used and not the full block of time.
