    Default Question about SM studios

    I'm a studio model and get paid by the studio. I'd like to know if it makes any sense to promote my referral links and whether it will be me getting the % or it will go to the studio owners. Also, can the studio owner see the messages in the models' mailbox and watch her paid recorded shows? I'm planning to get over to a new account and direct my guys there but my studio owner is a pretty shady person and I'm afraid he can find out and get me in trouble.

    The referral % thing, you would have to ask the studio how they handle it. My guess would be that they give you the same percentage of it that they do of your private shows, but that's just a guess. Ask to be sure.

    Yes, they can read your mail messages.

    If SM records all our shows, which I don't believe they do, but if they do they are not available to studio owners. However, when I had a studio for myself and a few friends (which I no longer do), I discovered entirely on accident that studio owners CAN log into the paid chat of their models if they are logged into their studio admin, and watch all private/exclusive shows, and you cannot tell that they are in there. A model asked me to check her stream, she went into private before I got to her free chat and it took me into her paid chat, since I was logged into the studio admin, and she could not see my studio admin in the member list, she only knew because I told her. Pretty creepy. Soooo, if you are in a studio... you could very well be being monitored without your knowledge.

    all this is true
    except
    I cant read messages models send to customers
    then again I tell them to to change their password immediate, maybe that has something to do with it?

    I can see sales
    not messages

    You're right from the studio admin you can't read messages... one of my models got suspended for exchanging contact details over and over so I logged into her account to read messages and see what was up. So yah, if the studio admin knows your password, they can read messages.

    WHat if I get the support change my registration email (say, by telling I lost access to the mailbox which I never had anyway)? Will the owner still have access to my site mail?
    ALso, what is the chance that I get caught on setting a new account immediately on closing the studio one if I go under a different name and with new documents, and if I look different from what is seen on the profile pictures (I lost some weight and changed my hairstyle)? My pictures are old but there might be some new recorded shows I don't know about because I don't have a member account. Not sure the owner will spend on watching them even if he has one, but there are previews =/.
    I was asking about the referral% because I've been advertizing for around 2 years and have had people tell they registered through my links, but I've never ever seen any other earnings than what I made from shows and tips.

    We don't have SSNs here. I got married and changed my second name as well as all of my documents, which now come with different numbers, too - so it's impossible to tell it's the same person unless you go on some deep search for proofs like calling the local registration office that issued my passport and requesting my maiden name. I don't really think the studio can do it or have it done by the SM staff.

    Yeah studios have access to everything. Support won't talk to me anymore because I am stuck in IM not even for basic things like a static profile pic. Or they do and IM just hides that communication from me. I really wish there was a way out besides that year waiting period tbh.

    I would say if you have new documents just apply directly and then use very different photos etc.
