The model may well be totally flaccid but he does not appear to me to be totally flaccid in the image you submitted.

This is why I disqualified your entry.

Is there any way for me, or anyone else, to "prove" that we are in compliance with this rule? What would you do? Any suggestions?

Honestly, I am more or less the judge and jury on the PotD and PotD18+.

There is an appeal process whereby I take the image to the Site Admins for their opinion. This appeal is used when a disagreement turns bitter or in a case like this where I want a second opinion.

I have already spoken to one of the Site Admins about your image. Here’s what the opinion is: “This one seems pretty straightfoward (pardon the pun) because it is not hanging down....it is sticking out enough so that we can say it is not fully flaccid.”

What else can you do?  Submit another image

Hello Moderator,

I'm relatively new to the forum and I submitted my first photo last week to the 18+ competition. Unfortunately, it was disqualified. I'd like to find out why. It was in the queue as of last night, but it's not on the vote page today.

My photo was not particularly explicit, no genitals appear in the photo and I've read over the rules, can't seem to find the one I broke. The image in question is titled 'Self Reflection.'

Any insight on why it was disqualified would be appreciated.

Your entry was:
https://photos.modelmayhem.com/potd_18p … 59-big.jpg

I disqualified your image as being not 18+. Why? I see nothing 18+ in the image.

The basic dividing line between the PotD and the PotD18+ is (drum roll please) the 18+ bits. If I can see those bits then it’s an 18+ image

Why not enter the image in the PotD.

Hi,
First of all, thanks for all your help in moderating this forum.  I've read through most of it before posting my question and I appreciate not only your willingness to explain why you do something, but your attitude in how you do it. 

I just posted an image last night and although it showed up in the queue, it doesn't seem to be on the vote page.  Did I do something wrong, submit it in the wrong place, or...?

Also, what are the size restrictions for picture submission, is it a certain number of MB or pixels or...

Thanks in advance for your help with both of these.
Mike

Your entry:
https://photos.modelmayhem.com/potd_18p … 92-big.jpg
was disqualified for ‘non flaccid penis’

Size limit: 800px wide and 600mb in file size. We are in the process of limiting the vertical height also but this has not come to pass… yet.

Advice… look at the entries and see what is judged to be acceptable.

Cheers

Thank you for your insightful comment.

Thanks for your quick response JoJo.  I have been looking at the other entries (maybe too much ) to see what is acceptable.  The model was flaccid, but Ethan is a pretty big guy and was holding everything up with both of his hands.  I'm guessing from reading the other responses that there is no real way to prove this to you?

It has more to do with the specific image, the camera angle, the lighting, the amount of ‘fluffing’ the model does before the shot is captured and the post processing of the image.

We have a fair number of regular players in the PotD18+ that are very well endowed

Pics of people being hung like meat, bleeding from hooks, is NOT banned from this site.

ANYTHING sexual is banned.

NOTHING violent is banned...

Sorry to bring up "old news" but I'd like to know how a person willingly hanging themselves "like meat" (which is called suspension by the way!) is violent? I'd also like to know what makes this person think that those that partake in suspensions are freaks? I'm almost certain suspension photos have to be classified as 18+ anyways, due to the "touchy nature" of the subject. Also, if I remember correctly you also have to flag a photo as mature if it contains anything of a violent nature....not just things of sexual nature.

So if someone caught for vote stack or cheating or any alike, only gets DQ? Or does the member get banned from the contest (for period of time), or even membership revoked?

Vote stacking:

1st offense – 15 day contest suspension (I’m presently attempting to have this extended to 1 month)
2nd offense – ban from contests

Entering a prohibited image: (erect penis, penetration and so on)

1st offense – 1 month contest suspension
2nd offense – ban from contests

I also look at the offender’s account and suspension and/or outright removal are also options that I can work with.

How about the penalty for the 2nd offense, disclosure of the cheaters' names? Then the 3rd offense will be banned from the contests?

Disclose the cheater’s name – no – that’s outing.
Even cheaters are protected by this rule.

Do you really want to give a known repeat cheater ‘just 1 more chance’?

Administrative procedures are not considered outing!

Sorry, that is incorrect.

different topic now.

if the nipples were photoshopped off, would that be a regular? or it's still an 18+?

Show me a specific image and I will give you my opinion on that image.

I just ul'ed that to the regular contest for tomorrow. 5-10 minutes ago. it's the one a chick with sword and black outfit.

I am going to allow this one into the contest. The 'mud people' are sufficiently covered.
A word for future reference – watch the blood – this caught my eye before anything else

Think there is a bug in the contest section? I clicked on the vote page, it says I already voted. I know I didn't. Then when I went to the current sanding page where everyone has 0 vote. So it confirms that I didn't vote. more bugs and codings problem?

I just wanted to post it
Haven't voted in today's contest but it says I have. I did check the lineup for today's contest before it started and maybe this bug is somehow associated with it?

Well, some people can still vote, just not all of them. So you should get the same proportion of votes today as you would tomorrow, and come in the same final place.

No – votes are coming in so unless I receive notification from IB the votes will stand.

This is the correct answer.  The only potential impact is if you lose by one vote and were not able to vote for your own image due to the voting glitch.

I couldn't vote for any images, and neither could any of the other posters who mentioned the glitch. So, the impact is on every image I would have voted for (we all get 3 votes, afterall) not just mine. Not everybody's vote is really represented, but whatever. Just asking........

I thought you are not suppose to vote for your own image?

POTD and POTD18+ voting issue.  I went to look at the images submitted this morning and vote.  The claims that I have already voted.  But I just logged on my machine today.  How can I get this resolved?  Anyone else having voting issues today?

Had the problem yesterday and still having the same issue today.

Same here. Couldn't vote yesterday, can't vote today... becomes a tradition
