Like, how am I allowed to have a pitcher of a Possum can for an avi?

That just ain't right no how.

Possums ain't food, they's beasts.

Ah but per definition the possum held still for the initial photo that's then printed on the jar... so possum= model.

And since we're talking semantics, any thermometer inserted rectally is a rectal thermometer. lol

At least until somebody uses it in the tradition "under the tongue" way.

So, remember to wipe it off when you have completed your determination. tongue

Plus, I didn't draw the picture of the possum or make the can or anything - copyright violation.

I should be expelled.

Sorry, guess I'm offended by being an old man.

Still, if a FG can't maintain the absolute minimum standard for a membership, not only should they not be a FG, they shouldn't even be a member, and shouldn't have the luxury of custom-fitting herself into the site, simply because she's posed for a lot of us 'old men'.

IMHO

+1

I understand that with the sheer number of members it may be difficult to keep track of everyone but there are some bare minimum standards that have been set (e.g. four images) and we should all have to adhere to them regardless of where we fit in the hierarchy.

There should also be standards based on the types of profiles we have which means that models should at least have basic stats listed as per the OP. As a stylist I'll always ask if they're current, but honestly I shouldn't have to.

They should just roll all the Fora into SF2 and let the Mods take permanent vacation.

Four images? When you can't even get them to type in their stats?
Uploading 4 pics must be even harder to do. smile

After looking at your work, I wonder why you even 'need' stats? wink

Or maybe you just needed a cute publicity stunt? ( in which case, congrats on letting someone else handle the shit show)

I can't be entirely sure, but I believe a swarthy neighborhood possum may have saved Mr. Schatzi

Schatz got away Jan 6th and was lost for 23 (!!!) days, the first night he was missing it went below 40 here... I think that fat possum dude either kept him warm or showed him how to be poor (middle class Schatz has no fucking idea where the nearest food bank is).

Marsupials are under-rated. Even stupid cats are smart (not insinuating anything with regards to Schatz, although suspecting his name was earned due to a rather inglorious behavior).

as long as there are at least 4 human model images, the profile is fine, other images are allowed - there is no rule that states there must be a model avatar. it may be a logo or a cowbell.

the point is that there should be 4 unique human model images (except for designers, at least two designs on models, sketches & mannequins for the rest). the rules are very minimalistic. i do think that all admin, gk, and mod profiles should absolutely meet all requirements.

My cat Mausi once came running out of my wardrobe, though the bedroom- Bruce-cat hat opened the door to my shoot-wardrobe.
Mausi was carrying a small handbad made of fur (sheep), and around her waist she had caught a pair of lacey red panties.

Alas I was not fast enough to take a picture, since I was busy not to try to pee in my pants laughing.

We won't go into pet names, except to reminisce on poor little Piggy Poo-Butt, who never learned to lick himself clean. We gave him to a friend to become a farm cat.

I had a cat who could open cupboards AND drawers.

We named him Morton because that was the sound he made when he jumped down from something and hit the ground.

Where in the MM world is there a rule that people have to provide exact details about themselves or their experience level? This is not a professional site. Anyone can become a member and create an alternative reality - can't they?

I'm not as concerned about numbers, as I am about looks. 
Most of the time, I don't require certain ages or sizes for my work. 
Besides, I don't trust the Internet!

Dude, I know!

He wags his tail, follows me EVERYWHERE and sleeps next my pillow, facing the door.
He knows when I'm cold and he's on warm-up duty, since he weighs 16 lbs now.. he's a big warm lump. I love that guy.
