    Default What *small* changes would you like to see on Streamate?

    There are so many functionality issues with SM that crop up. What would make your lives easier that could realistically be fixed?

    I know we would all love certain MAJOR issues fixed as well, but realistically things like a higher payment percentage would mean a massive overhaul and likely will not happen anytime soon.

    My personal "realistic" wish list is:

    * Members must choose a unique username and cannot change it at will

    * Make it easier for us to ban abusive members/allow us to ban from our earnings list (not only allowing us to ban them when they've left the room, but also making it easier to click on them would be awesome)

    * Insert a profile link in members messages so we can access their purchase history and notes directly without having to use a work-around


    What do you ladies think? Do these seem like realistic goals? What would make *your* life easier on SM?

    Two easy features:

    1) Code the chatroom to automatically make the username of anyone a hyperlink to their user profile (like how clicking on their name in the side bar and let's you click the 'profile' button while they're in the room)
    2) Add a ban button to the pop up profile


    Result: models stop bitching that they can't ban after someone leaves, customer support doesn't need to tell us there are 800 other John's on SM because hyperlinks are by account number not name, and the coding department only has to enable two small changes (hyper links + buttons). That last one is something a 10 year old could probably figure out on a small scale, so I don't wanna hear any bitching from SM on this one.


    I've been baffled as to why this hasn't been a thing for the entire two years I've worked SM, seriously. So stupid.

    Things I'd want:

    • Models rate customers. Ratings are invisible to customers.
    • Let us link to twitter. Other sites don't have an issue with it.
    • Direct deposit.
    • Allow ts models to rise above page 6.

    They have Trans models on certain page now?! I know they just have us listed in our own category.

    I don't want to be on page 6, I'm a page ONE model!

    Offline tipping or in house hosting for videos that we can sell directly from profiles. Logged in or not.

    Reminders for customers to rate their previous shows when they log in.

    It looks like they changed it, so it's worse now. TS now show up on page 16 for CamModels and page 10 for Streamate. I know TS used to be on page 6 as of about a year ago. TS were ahead of males. Now males are ahead of TS. I don't believe you can rise in ranking above the gender sort. You only rise in ranking within your gender. (With male/female couples being an exception.)

    all of the above, plus more options to setting up a gold show. count up to the goal, or down. I suck at math. I can't subtract. I only like to ADD gold. An auto start to the gs, or an option that it auto starts when a min amount is met. I hate that auto cancel shit. Even when you make your goal it comes on. say wha? Of course color coated notes or icons you can place next to guys names instead of the note. Maybe even a file or folder we can organize our regulars in. More options for our profiles. I can't delete my bio/profile pics. and some of them I hate and will never use.
    Banning guys after they leave. That would stop the trolls who blurt out something rude and leave to quick to ban. Mutha F*ckers. LOL

    Currently, if a gold show has less than a minute and half to start/fail, a big box pops up and PREVENTS YOU FROM TYPING / BANNING / DOING ANYTHING in the window besides hitting "cancel show" or "start show". WTF? This needs to be fixed...

    Yeah, SM is the only major site in existence that allows that BS. Other sites added a 'spy' option in lieu of an easily abused 'preview' option. For example, MFC and CB charge 10 tokens per minute--$.80/min at the most expensive token:cost package--to see video with no audio and no ability to type/add to the chat without joining at full rate. The guys also don't get to see 100% of the video on some sites. That's PERFECT! You know exactly what's going on in show and if you wanna join. That's the point of the 'spy' feature, end of story.

    I don't offer premium shows on SM at all anymore. Mine are set to $14.99/minute (and will be at $19.99/minute when my approval goes through!!!!) while my exclusive is far lower. On the rare instances I get a premium show, I average 1-2 'customers' per minute abusing the preview feature. It's so badly abused that these guys just search for models by who is actively in a premium and join their show so fast they don't appear in the free chat window for even a second before being in the paid window and then leaving right as the preview period would end. If there is a large contingent of 'customers' who actively search by an easily abused loophole feature and have never spent even $1 on the site, it's time to do something.

    Suggestions:

    1) Remove the 'preview' option.
    2) If some sort of 'preview' option is truly desirable to prevent chargebacks/fraud/whatever, please replace the current model with a spy mode similar to MFC.
    3) Allow the models to enable/disable the spy mode altogether (MFC and CB let you ELECT to allow customers in at such a cheap rate, whether features are limited or not).
    4) Allow the models to select the rate they charge for spy mode ($.80/minute for full video but no ability to chat/hear is barely above scam level and I wanna be able to set any 'spy' mode to be at least 25% of my regular show rate).




    I'd send you a cake for doing bullets #1 and #2. If I could get #3 or #4, I'd chip in for your next damned vacation to the Bahamas.

    This thread is great i agree with what has been said already, great suggestions.
    One thing id like to see is the ability for us to change our prices without having to log out and back in. I dont know if any of you agree with this but it would be a nice feature if they could do that. Would save from having to log in and out. Also to have a chat window for us to contact live support from our page if we need immediate assistance with something instead of waiting days sometimes to get help when its too late after that. Now that would be awesome.

    Ill think some more and post here if i think of any others. These may be bigger changes but i think they would be great.

    Great thread:

    - If the site is to blame for the interruption of a gold show, then pay me! It's not my damn fault.
    - Define rules for the TV producers, they are such assholes.
    - Customized profiles.
    - Video sales on the profile.
    - Twitter & wishlist link on the profile.
    - Size adjustability for the c2c window. The c2c window is so small, I can barely identify the guys. For some fetish shows I need to watch details...
    - Option for custies to get their exclusive recorded to the site if they wanna pay for it. Two of my regulars have asked for that. MFC, CB and CAMS already offer that.

    30 seconds is just too much, when I lift up to block they scatter like roaches..would love if they reduced to 10sec! Also I am seeing models I often use to see towards the middle and top on the first page being pushed back to the bottom and 2nd page since the change.

    Some sign next to the person's nickname showing if they are using a mobile device (like on Cams), so we'd know they can't see the bottom 1/4 of us or read the profile/see photos.

    another change? Get some retired or former camgirl or an understanding individual (it only takes ONE great person to make a change) working support who has an open heart and open mind and the BALLS to make these changes. I've always been the type that when I have a complaint about customer service I want to go to the man who OWNS the company. I've even asked pee wee's to transfer me to the man they fear the most. I want HIS ass. After almost a year on Streamate, I've grown to believe that there's a serious lack of caring behind the scenes. Caring towards the camgirl as well as the customers. I hate that these guys have to put up with these bullshit glitches and get no help from support. Glitches and privates that don't load is money out the door. Something is missing. I sent a detailed message about the problem yesterday and what I did to try and correct it. They sent the usual half ass reply, "logging in and back into your account should fix the issue" Wha? I wrote in detail how I DID do that over and over. And that's just one sorry half ass reply I've received from support. That tells me they didn't even read my message all the way through, and not even a caring reply? That speaks volumes to me. Something seriously is missing from customer service/support.
    Almost reminds me of a sociopath with no empathy. I remember a quote from a yelp review I read years ago. The guy had called an office to make an appt and never got past the first phone call because the receptionist was so rude. He KNEW after that one phone call that he didn't want to make the appointment. His quote was, "How you do one thing, is how you do everything." Sorry to rant, I just hate bad customer service. I try to make up for it with a pleasant attitude while on cam with my guys, and support my sister's here. I look forward to every morning looking at SW and reading the posts you all make. We all have such great ideas, are hard workers sexy, funny, sticking together and each of us has something to add which would make SM such a better place for both us and our guys. IF ONLY
    In the meantime we're dealing with the a lot of crap both online and personal I'm sure. IF ONLY they would hire that ONE great person. Wine please~~

    Yeah this drives me crazy! That last minute and a half is when the most customers pour into the room. I like to be able to hit my automated "please add me to your favorites etc. etc." button so at least the guys who arent tipping can still be useful to me. And who the hell didnt notice that their gold show hasnt made the goal??? Like we are watching these numbers like a hawk! We know if we made goal or not WTF!

    My top requests would be offline tipping and video sales. If they allowed offline tipping for video purchases, I think it would eliminate the fear of social media that Streamate has. Imagine a top model saying this in her room: "Follow me on Twitter so you know when I release my new video, available exclusively on my SM profile!"
    Then she can post her videos at her leisure in her pajamas, and guys can buy her content while she's not online, then pay more when she goes online and gives live shows.

    It just seems so obvious it hurts me to have to write it out, and I feel like SM has probably left millions of dollars behind over the years because they did *not* have these features.

    On the back end model portion of the site, I think it would be super helpful to be able to get a notification when you get a new tag or comment, or be able to sort them by "new," so that you don't have to scroll through all the tags you've ever gotten trying to figure out if someone tagged you with something mean.

    I'm quite happy with the site overall but my top requests would be:

    The ability to switch private mode off, and on where members can join in. (think IMLive or AW JCI feature) Free chat should be an option. Perhaps girls who are in free chat will be on the top rows and models who are in PVT on purpose can stay in the "I'm in a private" section. This will give guys the choice to join in and you get to coast and or split cam with ease.

    No more peeping allowed! Or, keep it for those who wish to remain in private to avoid free chat. I believe if a guy has not seen you live and see if he likes you, maybe 10s free or whatever in paid chat only. However, if you're in FREE chat and he sees you perfectly fine and accepts taking you private from free chat he needs to be charged right away!

    The ability to block any member who's come into your room at any time. All names should be click able and blockable even after they've left your room/private chat. Too many guys are abusing this by talking shit and leaving, or peeping, and leaving sometimes peeping again! They think they're invincible and so far with the way things are, they are!

    Live Model Chat/Live OPS Instant Messenger and A dedicated Model Only Support Line.

    Maybe a paid texting option. Perhaps a guy doesn't want to take you pvt or exl but doesn't mind paying for text chat. This chat will pop up with a highlighted box with an alert asking if you'd like to accept a paid text chat with x username. I mean, if we're going to sit in free chat, it would be a nice incentive to stay motivated.

    Last but certainly not least, I think support needs to have a virtual "swearing jar" AKA if they fuck up with glitches, etc they need to shoot us a "tip" aka maybe a 5-10% bump in percentage like they did before a few months back. Pay for your sins and we'll all be happy



    think SM knows we need this desperately and I hope to see some changes very soon without the compromising of traffic, lol. guess all of these above aren't very small but I think a happy model makes a happy site.

    I wasn't sure how to word it before. But you tied it together very nicely. Most of us have videos in multiple places but those who are the most loyal to SM would make the videos more exclusive. But at 35% I don't know how long those videos would be?
