I can't figure out why I can't vote in the 18+ contest. I choose my 3 votes and press vote and it says "Thank you" Then I can go back and the votes didn't take. Am I no longer able to vote anymore?

Question... you vote - then you go back and check? How do you "go back" to check?

I'm curious, did someone make a fake account to enter the photo that won on Saturday? Seems odd for the account to now be closed if she was in fact the one who entered the contest. And if it was a fake account and the mods removed the profile, shouldn't the winning image also be removed and the 2nd place person be declared the winner?

Saturday June 1?
The winner's account is still active https://www.modelmayhem.com/2995542
She even logged in today.

Jo Jo,

The account you linked was not the Saturday winner.

Unable to show profile #3054543
This member is either awaiting approval or has removed their profile from the site.

Actually it was the PotD winner from Saturday

The PotD18+F winner's account from Saturday is "pending" - I can say no more as the matter is in CAM.

Thanks again JoJo ... hmmm need new glasses maybe...

Note to everyone:

I will offer an opinion, as I have done for Blaine Dixon above, on images destined for the PotD and PotD18+.

Rules:
limit - 3 images per CAM - 3 CAMs per month
the images must be your images
the images must be in your port on MM
you must supply the full URLs to the image display page from your port in your CAM.

I will respond as I have done above.

If you wish to debate/argue my opinion, I will not respond.
If you wish to flood me with requests or abuse this privilege I will not respond.

Is this a modification of current procedures?  I ask because in  a thread in the site related forum a few weeks ago (I have spent 5 mins trawling through them but I can't find it now) Brian Diaz posted that members could submit images for checking as above via CAM - there was no mention of any limit.  I did check if this applied to the contests.

There is probably not much you can do about this but unless members check the contests forum regularly they will be unaware of this policy change, if it is that.  Just something for consideration.

Thanks!

sarcasm=on
I'm sure that Brian Diaz, the Head Site Administrator and the busiest man on MM, will be more than happy to spend hours and hours of his valuable time debating/arguing the acceptability of images.
sarcasm=off

If you would like me, the Contest Administrator, to offer an opinion on the suitability of images for the contest, my terms are listed above.

No, it is not a policy change - it is my offer to those who are having problems with the subtleties of such rules as "emphasis on genitalia" and "non flaccid penis".

(Sarcasm set to off)
Your offer is greatly appreciated, JoJo and I for one will be glad to have this additional service

(Sarcasm set to medium)
Great that we have two experts to advise us on these subtle matters.

This image in today's woman's contest appears to be male. The hands are not feminine and when blown it appears that the tip of a penis including the urethral orifice is visible under the right hand.

I see the foot of the glass with the light shining through it.

Where else but in America do people assume that the rest of the world does not exist?  Except, maybe, North Korea, but then you can't expect North Koreans to know any better.

You are correct, I see that now. Optical illusion.

However those still look very much like male hands in terms of finger length, skin texture, and the short nails with no polish. In the submitter's portfolio there is no model credit in order to cross check. It also does not look like the shape of the typical female pubic mound. Since there are other clues that at least make one wonder, that begs the question on how the contest should handle images where the gender is not obvious.

I have no axe to grind with the submitter.

I imagine such instances would be very rare. I once entered a non equivocal male image in the female contest by accident. I seldom look at the female results nor do I vote there. In the male section I cannot conceive of an equivocal entry.

Well look at todays comp, there are 2 women in the mens 18+ comp today!

I just took another look at 6/11 entries and found no misplaced sausage. There is one B&W that looks a bit like a dude, but not down there.

I also recognized two different pix of the same model, which raises an eyebrow. No one would *ever* game the contest.

Just remember: Vote early and often!

If they are *different* pictures, assuming they were submitted by two different people (two photographers or model and photographer) that wouldn't be against the rules would it?

What was that link that you could use to check to see how long it's been since you made a submission?

For you it's https://www.sendu.me.uk/modelmayhem/15_ … id=2246042

One more thing to keep in mind about the 15 day rule - it's image specific, not submitter specific.
If you enter a pic today and the photographer enters the same pic tomorrow it will not show up on the above report... but the photographer's submission will be disqualified as a violation of the 15-day rule.
