General
What is Model Mayhem?
The most kick ass site on the intraweb. For cereal. +

Can I change my name?
Yes. Go to my stuff. Then click on Settings. You can only do this a total of 3 times. Beyond that, you'll need to let the moderators know what name you wish to use and to deliver to them freshly baked cookies. Nom, nom, nom. +

Can I bling out my profile page? (images, links, video, music, etc)
Somewhat. We like to keep things clean. Images and link are allowed. Videos and music are not. For more information, check out this guide. +

How do I remove my profile from this site?
Well first, why the heck would you want to do that?! But if you insist, go to my stuff. Then click on Settings. +

How come some people have more photos than me? I want more!
Two reasons: pioneers and VIPs. Pioneers were the first 1500 people to join MM. We gave them extra slots, because we love them. Then there are the VIPs. Which is our premium subscription service. You can sign up here. +

How do I advertise on Model Mayhem?
It's easy! Just click here to get started. +

Registration
Who can join Model Mayhem?
Anyone with a sincere desire to work in the modeling industry. For more detailed information on the approval process, check out the requirements page. +

What the... you have to be approved in order to join Model Mayhem?
For sure. This is a great community and we intend to keep it that way! We deny spammers, model managers, people that try to hawk products, creep-o's and other undesirables on a daily basis. +

How long does it take a new profile to be approved?
It could take anywhere from one day to a week. To help expedite the process, it's in your best interest to upload as many photos as possible and provide a nice substantial bio. +

My profile was denied! What gives?
If you were given the option to re-submit your profile into the queue, you simply didn't meet the requirements for Model Mayhem. Please read over them carefully and try applying again. If you were NOT given the option to re-submit, then that means your profile is not allowed on Model Mayhem. +

VIP
What is VIP?
VIP is our premium subscription service. By signing up, not only do you instantly become a superstar, but you also get access to:

  • Increased number of photos (100 instead of the normal 20)
  • Increased number of private messages (100 per 24 hours instead of 15)
  • Increased number of announcements (1 every 5 minutes instead of every 30 minutes)
  • Ability to opt out of seeing ads on the site
  • A cool VIP icon that follows you where ever you go on the site
  • And an ever-updating set of new features and functions that we'll continue to roll out

If you'd like to sign up, go to our VIP registration link. +

How do I sign up for VIP?
You can sign up by heading to our VIP registration link. You can also find a link to VIP on your My Stuff page. You must already be an approved ModelMayhem member to sign up for VIP. +

How much does VIP cost?
A mere pittance. We offer you a range of prices depending on how long you sign up. The longer you sign up for, the cheaper it gets. You can find our prices on our VIP registration link. +

What payment methods do you accept?
We currently only accept payment by credit card - Visa, Mastercard or AMEX. We have looked into other methods (for instance Paypal) and are still in discussions with vendors. +

Is my credit card secure?
Absolutely. We have implemented secure encryption technology both on the site (when credit card information is displayed/entered - ssl technology) as well as in our back end databases. At no time is your full credit card information available to anyone except our credit card processing company. +

How do I cancel my VIP membership?
Wha? We didn't hear that. We're sorry, you said what? If you feel you really must leave, simply log into your account, head to the VIP link in your My Stuff area and click the "Cancel" button. Your subscription will be canceled at the end of your current cycle. There are no refunds however, so if you've already paid for time, you'll remain a VIP until that time expires. If you need to get out right away, please send in a request via our Contact-a-mod system and reference VIP as a question topic. +

What happens if I cancel my VIP membership?
Well, other than no longer being hip and the world potentially coming to an end, you lose all the privileges associated with VIP (extra photos, extra messages, etc.). +

What are the terms and conditions associated with VIP?
Here are the site terms and conditions which includes VIP. +

My credit card just got declined. What do I do?
The decline notification you received will likely have given you a reason for the error. To correct this, simply go to the VIP link on your My Stuff page, where you'll be taken to your 'wallet' of credit cards. You can either edit your credit card information here or add a new credit card to use for your membership.

If no reason was given for the decline it is probably easiest to simply go to your 'wallet' and resubmit your credit card information or add a new credit card. +

I'm being told that I am over my photos limit?
This is a result of you once being a VIP, getting access to the 100 photo limit, and then having your VIP membership status be canceled and so now your limit is back to 20 photos.

In order to add new photos to your portfolio, you can now do either of the following:

1) Sign up again for VIP by going through the registration again.

2) Delete photos in your profile until you get below the 20 limit of normal membership +

How do I ask someone a question about VIP?
Please use our Contact-a-mod system and be sure to select VIP as a question topic. +

Misc
What does TFP mean? TFCD? TF*?
TFP means "time for prints". It's an arrangement where everyone contributes their time and skills to produce photos, but without monetary compensation. TFCD means "time for CD of images" and so on. +

What is GWC?
GWC is an acronym for "Guy With Camera." It's a derogatory term for an amateur photographer. And it has taken the intraweb by storm thanks to MM. It usually implies that said guy is only interested in photography in order to get hot ladies to get nekkid for him. +
