Hi everyone, I'm relatively new here and this is my first post. I've been lurking for quite some time, and have been camming on Streamate for about 6 months. This forum has been such an inspiration- you ladies are amazing beyond words, and it's humbling to see how supportive of each other you all are.
I've been having an issue on SM the past week- I would normally just search the forum, but I can't find anything really specific to my problem (or nothing that discusses a solution anyway). I've got very good placement on SM and make decent money doing privates & exclusives only, sans Gold Shows. For months I've had a 5 star rating and would get MAYBE one rating below 5 stars a month, if that. Yet for some reason this past week, I've had a sudden rash of low ratings- 3 stars, 4 stars, even a 1 star. And I get one nearly every day. Nothing about my shows or my personality or my cam quality has changed, and it's starting to stress me out more than it should. I still show up as 5 stars, but I don't want this trend to continue as I don't want to lose my placement. I have read on here that some of you ask customers to rate- do you recommend doing this individually, in each show, or putting it in your topic? I'm nervous about doing this because of the quality of SM traffic lately; I've had a lot of abusive, cruel guys (both paying and non paying) and I'm scared that asking them to rate 5 stars would put me in a vulnerable position. I get the feeling some of guys would just rate lower "because they can." Support usually removes the ratings but occasionally refuses, and I'd hate to send them a message asking for that every single day. Any tips on how best to deal with this? Am I just making a waaaay bigger deal of ratings than I should be?
On that note, I've read on here that customers can't rate after Gold Shows, so I've considered doing them (for a myriad of reasons, really). I am wondering, did any of you ladies notice a significant drop in your private/exclusive traffic after starting Gold Shows? I get customers asking me to do them every day, but I like doing privates and exclusives a lot, even though it can be draining trying to make goal this way.
Sorry this is so long- thanks so much in advance for your help! Looking forward to posting here with you ladies more often!
