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. +
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. +

How do I sign up for VIP or Premium?
You can sign up by heading to our registration link.
You can also find a link to upgrade on your My Stuff page.
You must already be an approved ModelMayhem member to sign up for VIP or Premium. If you sign up before your profile is approved, you will not be charged until your profile is activated. +
How much do VIP and Premium 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 registration link. +
If I Upgrade, do I get Credit for my previous Subscription?
Yes, absolutely. For instance, if you are currently a Premium member with time still left on your subscription and you decide to upgrade to VIP we'll discount the VIP cost by the amount remaining on your Premium. Go ahead, try it. +
What payment methods do you accept?
We currently only accept payment by credit card - Visa, Mastercard, or American Express.
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 or Premium 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 Wallet" 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/Premium 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 or Premium membership?
Well, other than no longer being hip and the world potentially coming to an end, you lose all the privileges associated with VIP/Premium (extra photos, extra messages, etc.). +
What are the terms and conditions associated with VIP and Premium?
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 or Premium, getting access to the increased photo limit, and then having your VIP or Premium membership status be canceled and so now your limit is back to its original limit.
In order to add new photos to your portfolio, you can now do either of the following:
1) Sign up again by going through the registration again.
2) Delete photos in your profile until you get below the limit of normal membership. +
How do I ask someone a question about VIP or Premium?
Please use our Contact-a-mod system and be sure to select VIP as a question topic. +
What is a casting call?
A casting call is a post in which you can advertise a project of your own, for which you need to hire* another MM member.
*The word “hire” is used loosely here, as it does not necessarily mean that you will be paying, but it does mean that you are not expecting to be paid or that there will be any charge to participate. +
What is a travel notice?
A travel notice is a post in which you can advertise that you will be available outside of your normal geographic area. +
What is an availability notice?
An availability notice is a post in which you can advertise that you will be available within your normal geographic area. +
Can I look for paid work?
Yes. If you’re staying close to home, you may look for paid work in an Availability Notice, and if you’re traveling, you may do so in a Travel Notice. Casting Calls which require the responder to make a payment of any kind are not permitted and will be deleted.
+
How do I get emailed when someone is traveling to my area?
VIP members can subscribe to Alerts that will notify you if a Casting Call, Travel Notice, or Availability Notice matches criteria you choose. To create one, do a search for what you want to find, then click “Add to Casting Call Alert” on the results page. Give the alert a name and click submit. You’ll then get an email, a private message, or both when someone posts what you’re looking for. +
What will happen to my old casting calls?
Your old casting calls will be archived here: www.modelmayhem.com/castingcalls_archive.php
If the casting is still going on, please make a new one in the new system, as it will help people find you more easily. +
What will happen to my old travel notices?
The Travel Notices forum will remain open for 30 days after the launch of the new system.
If your Travel Notice is still applicable, please recreate it in the new system, so more people will know about your travel plans. +
How do I edit or delete a Casting Call/Travel Notice/Availability Notice?
At the bottom of each of your Casting Calls, Travel Notices, and Availability Notices are buttons that allow you to delete or edit your postings. All of your Casting Calls, Travel Notices, and Availability Notices are listed on your profile page so you (and others) can find them easily.
+
What happened to the "logout" button?
It's at the bottom of every page. It had to be removed from the top to make space for "casting/travel." +
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. +
