    Angry Damn you streamate! Grrrr. (Rant)

    So I have been with Streamate about 2 months now. I am a BBW and I do really well, stream with the encoder, 5 stars blah blah blah. Still no Gold Shows.

    So I emailed them first. They sent me a generic message...blah blah blah in batches...blah blah. Ok so 2 weeks later after meeting all the requirements I emailed them again due to some of my regulars getting irritated that I wasn't doing them. I got this back

    "When you meet all requirements are met and we're good and ready to enable your account for that, it will happen automatically. No amount of times you request that will get you enabled for that any faster."

    [email protected]


    WTF!?? Have any of you gotten such a rude email back from support? I only emailed twice about this and I was just trying to get Gold shows to keep my regs happy. IDK what else to do. I told the guys that when streamate is "good and ready" they will enable them.

    AHHHHHHHHHH

    Frustrated. Not to mention I will most likely make more money for the COMPANY with this feature. But whatever.

    Sorry ladies. Just venting.

    Sweetie, u should not get that upset for not having Gold show enabled, i know it pisses u off and u feel angry with site but the feature IS NOT neccesarily going to bring u more money, is not working for everyone, i have it but not using it, i am also a BBW, mostly the porn stars will make money from Gold shows, girls will go now as low as $1/per 10 or more mins show, u better focus on ur privates, ur regulars wanna pay less simply, not the best deal for you. Ask them to buy discounted Block sessions if they wanna pay less.

    Thank you for the support AliceFun. The block session advice is great and I think I will try that. I suppose I am more upset that Streamate support is being so disrespectful. Grr lol

    Scarlette, that's kinda effed up on SM's part! I totally understand what you are trying to say; it's not the issue of the gold shows themselves, it's how they are able to come at you so rude with their reply. They need to remember that YOU are making THEM money. Sure, you may be just one model among hundreds (thousands?), but if they keep up that kind of disrespect they are not going to have very many good models left. A lot of girls are getting very disenchanted with SM lately due to this whole encoder thing; I am sure SM support has their hands full dealing with that, but really, a little courtesy goes a long way. I'd think they'd try to do anything in their power to make good, money-making models stay rather than jump ship.

    For what it's worth, gold shows are really not all they are cracked up to be. I've had them enabled since last year but I haven't even bothered trying for one in months. Maybe last year they were good for making money but now for the average girl they are a joke. It can take many, many, many tries to get to your goal, and I see that as time wasted that could have been spent doing privates. Not only that, but you are not paid if you terminate the show early. That means, if SM gets funky and kicks you out (which happens to many of us without warning), you do not get paid. You could be doing a 10 minute gold show and get kicked out at the 9:30 mark and, you guessed it! You've just given a free show for $0. Until SM gets their tech issues sorted out I'd personally avoid gold shows. Block sessions are certainly the way to go. The great thing about blocks is, even if you or the custie do get kicked out early, you are still paid (as long as they spend at least a couple of minutes in the session with you), and the custie has up to two hours to come back and finish the block so in case there is some technical difficulty so he's not going to feel cheated.

    Email Vanessa (one of the other girls should have her email and I'm far too tired to look it up right now). She'll hook you up, "batches" be damned. She worked with me every step of the way, right down to telling me what I was still missing and how I was showing in the system.

    meh I have gold shows, but I only tried them one day. Never hit the goal, not even half of it, and I didn't even try with crazy rates. Only a regular bought in, another guy, who complained about how he could not afford my normal prices and someone else. I cancelled all of them, and felt half pissed half mortified. It was just a little bit more exposure, it bumped my favourite number up a little bit, and the third guy buying in came after the fails and bought a longer show.

    Since then I don't even bother, I'm fine with simple privates. I don't even want that kind of exposure, guys are just staring, and waiting on each other to say something, and they all want free show while counting down.

    I know there are girls who are very successful with them, but also you can see very often top girls having 80ish members in her room, or even more and only like 5-6 buys in, rest is just there to stare. If this happens often to the top girls, what can an average girl expect? Your regular only want to spend less... For the members there is no other reason to love gold shows.

    gold shows are actually a really nice feature to have. they can give you a nice boost in ur earnings and u can get some good regs from gold shows. yes ALOT of girls either do not work them properly or girls just cannot get into the flow of it period. it really is different for everyone, but nonetheless they should have been more diplomatic to the situation. when i had to re-open a new account i had to pester them too. finally i just sent my guys to them to pester them with emails. when u show them a demand, how can they ignore that? it is worth a try at least. good luck

    Its really hard to do gold shows if you just have a bunch of people in your room sitting there starting at you or not enough people rather because say you have 80 only 10 of them might tip lol. Sigh.

    I've been on SM for about 3 weeks now and yesterday there was a letter in my inbox saying they'd enabled the Gold Show feature on my account. I'm not sure how they decide who to give that to. I might give it a shot at one point but dont really have the urge to right now.

    Hmmm I got gold shows enabled when I made a new account and I never even had the requirements. Hell back then I did not use the encoder either
