I saw an image in the voting of today's potd18+ women and was surprised that it was allowed. Loosely, it is a black and white woman tangled on a bed looking as if they are "dining out". I thought things like this weren't allowd on MM at all

The word you are searching for is cunnilingus.

So, you can actually see this in the image?
I don't.

Ok so faces buried in crotches are okay. The "rules" just get looser and looser. And people wonder why outsiders view this as a porn/dating site.

What can you actually see?

Can you actually see oral/genital contact? That would be 'explicit', and not permitted.

If you can not actually see something then it is 'implied'.

The rule states:

NOT Allowed on Model Mayhem
The following represent image types that are NEVER allowed to be posted on Model Mayhem:
- explicit sexual content

and the operable word is 'explicit'

It is true, however that the rules - especially the "emphasis on genitals" proscription - are vague and inconsistently enforced.

... in your opinion.

My strong personal view is that beyond the legally necessary (no minors) and rules that can be stated in understandable bright-line fashion (no penetration, no dining without a fork, no body fluids, ec.)  adult users should be allowed a free market.

... I am sure that there are other sites that cater to your view.
On the other hand MM has rules (like them or not) that must be followed.

I accidently entered the same image in the contest for the 21st & the 22nd.  Please delete the entry for the contest on the 22nd.  Thanks

got it

in the future it would probably be better to send a CAM

Even better than better would be to have  the ability to re-post on a given day when it is necessary to have an image removed. Presently, after an image is removed at the poster's request, the site will not allow another image for that day.

You are permitted to submit once per day - that's it.
Choose wisely, first.

Then why does the results page even mention the forum contests?

That feature was based on an automated search of a particular forum contest thread. I've forgotten exactly how I did it now, but link to me a post of one of your entries and I'll try and get it working again.

There are several forum based contests that might benefit from Sendu's 15-day checker - these contests already monitor their entries closely.

Many other forum based contests are threads created daily - this would be almost impossible for Sendu to program into the 15-day checker.

Sendu:
Let's concentrate on getting the 15-day checker working properly for the site wide contests.

Hi, I'm curious what happened to the Women's 6/29/14 contest? It seems to be missing?

still there

Looks like another lost page: No 18+ F contest results visible for Monday 8/4/14.

I am surprised. Of course.

Does this mean that there were shenanigans in the voting or entries?

but in the winners gallery there is no listing for Monday August 18

PS Sendu used to give 15 day results for the member run contests then that was not working correctly and now it seems he dropped member run contests entirely

Here is your entry from Aug 18
https://www.modelmayhem.com/contests/po … iew/152877

Here are the Aug 18 PotD18+F results
https://www.modelmayhem.com/contests/po … ups/140818

There is a bug in the PotD18+F and PotD18+M code...
When an entry is disqualified after the close of voting the standings are rewritten, but the final contest standings are not written to the Winners Gallery.
This is a known bug and its been reported many times to MM/IB tech people. They have yet to fix the bug.


As for Sendu - it used to display a member's 15-day history for the PotD-OE.
When the PotD-OE changed hands in October 2010 it was decided to not continue Sendu's reporting on any of the forum-based contests.

Thanks for the clarification.  I noticed a few months ago Sendu had a notice saying "I don't think you have any other entries in the last 15 days, I thought hat referred to the forum contests, but now that notice is gone also.

The contest was changed many moons ago to require 2-day advance posting. This was to counter people posting excessively naughty images at the last minute. Why would it be necessary to D/Q an image after the close of voting?

Could it be that if one allows more time to do a task, the task-doer merely procrastinates a correspondingly longer time? Sooo bureaucratic.

Disqualifications (and removals) after voting has started happen daily.
Sometimes the submitter wishes the image removed.
And then sometimes there is cheating involved.

????? What is the point of cheating in a contest that has no prize and offers nothing of value? I can see inadvertent violations but deliberate cheating,  no.
