Why not give the moderators some juice to deal with members that “tear people apart” in the forums?

im new also, i read the rules and if pornography isn't allowed, the what is with this?[link removed]

i browse this site at work, i wish there was a way to filter those kind of images.

For one thing, if you had read the rules then you would know that outing is not allowed.  For another thing, that isn't porn.  Lastly, if you look at the very bottom of the screen, you will see that you can toggle worksafe mode which will prevent you from seeing images marked M.

how is a woman showing her vagina not porn? Oo and there are others of naked women in sexual poses. But hey its not porn..its ART! oh..my mistake.

I have a real lack of respect for women who allow themselves to be photographed like this.

Mod Note

Atrei, if you have complaints or issues about the policies here, please take those issues up by using the proper channels.

this thread is not the place for you voice your opinions on what is art or whether or not you respect women that shoot that.

For site related issues there is the Site Related forum;

that's ok cause i never asked for your respect.

oh, and btw - the vagina is an internal organ.  my "mons pubis" is not in violation of MM rules.

Wait a minute, but you shoot art nudes?? That's pretty hypocritical.

From your front page:

Not so much into: lifestyle, cars, bikinis, nudes (other then art nudes)

Welcome to Model Mayhem.
Some useful links to avoid Forum suicide:

Frequently asked questions
My quick advice to new models
More comprehensive advice for new models

Top ten newbie mistakes:

10. Spamming the forum with request for work or vote for me threads.
9. Cross posting the same post into multiple forums.
8. Not searching the forums before asking.
7. Assuming you will change established norms because you think you're special.
6. Embedding NSFW images in the forum or using one as an avatar.
5. Asking if this is a scam or posting warnings about scams. It's already been posted.
4. Submitting a post thinking you can delete a thread or the original post.
3. Posting without lurking to see the lay of the land.
2. Not taking advice when you have been clearly proven wrong.
1. Posting a rant of any kind and doing it in ALL CAPS.

Bonus: Posting a rant talking shit about someone thinking you will get everyone's support. Sometimes the person you are talking about will come in and reveal your lies and you'll end up looking like an ass.

Thank you Greg, for your contribution.


Here's an example of what NOT to post in the forum:
https://modelmayhem.com/posts.php?thread_id=131368

The result is angry bunny-mod stumping on you. It's way worse than having wolves tear you apart.

While you have the freedom to choosing who to work with, it is unwise to insult the ones you don't want to work with. Respect what other people do, and they'll be more likely to respect yours.

Wow.. that was very interestng.. thank you for the post! Im just going through the newbie forum.. tis me..
