Can We Review People We Have Worked With From MM?
Hi everyone. I had a pretty uncomfortable experience from someone on here and I was wondering if there was any way to warn others, or to hear from people that have worked with someone before I do kind of as a preventative measure for the future??? Sep 04 14 03:31 pm Link That might be handy. Sep 04 14 03:43 pm Link Nikki Nox wrote: You should read...those Pesky MM Rules... Sep 04 14 03:47 pm Link Simply put; I wish. In reality we can't on this site, but there is always Facebook and other networking circles  Sep 04 14 03:47 pm Link You are allowed to put a "Do not recommend" on your profile, and PM details if someone should happen to ask. Anything beyond that is outing, which will result in being punished. Sep 04 14 07:21 pm Link  Moderator Note!Ken Warren Photography wrote: Right answer. We don't allow public outing simply because it creates more problems than it solves. If you feel strongly, you may put "Not Recommended" on your profile page. Sep 04 14 07:36 pm Link Nikki Nox wrote: First and foremost, very sorry to hear that you had an unpleasant experience, Nikki. John Q. Public MM# XXXXXXX ***DO NOT RECOMMEND (PM me for details)*** or some variation thereof. Omit any specifics about the incident... the above labeling format will be sufficient to serve as warning to other members while keeping you compliant with the site rules. If others wish to know more about the incident, they will PM you about it.

Sometimes we get bad people in this industry that we need to warn others about. Sep 04 14 08:41 pm Link GPS Studio Services wrote: Very good to know! Thanks!

What happened that made it uncomfortable? That's what should be discussed... Sep 05 14 07:24 pm Link Moderator Note!Marin Photography NYC wrote: I don't see that that's necessary. Whilst I appreciate some might wish to be privy to any potentially lurid details, the OP's question has been answered. Sep 05 14 07:37 pm Link I also was wondering about this. The 3rd photographer I shot with from MM ended up being an awful experience. I wasn't sure on what to do, or if there was a place to report these actions. When the Photographer first messaged me, he sent me a link with his "website" and we followed up all discussion via email. The shoot ended up not being what I had thought it was going to be, and I left. The following day I went to scope out his website- And it no longer existed. So I went to find his Model Mayhem account, which also no longer existed. Now I see he has created another account on here, with another name, all the same photos from the past portfolio. I am hoping no one else has to deal with what I dealt with. Sep 05 14 07:53 pm Link MB JenB wrote: If something inappropriate happened, I suggest listening to Jen's advice here. She posts a lot of great perspectives on how to respect yourself in this career field. Sep 05 14 08:10 pm Link I am not saying the OP is not telling the truth here, as I don't know the full story and wasn't there, but always remember there are 2 sides to every story, and it may not be wise to make assumptions you cannot know are true. Remember "Raped of Mind and Body?" I personally had someone make up elaborate lies about me and started a thread about me (without naming me.) Everyone came to the accuser's side (some who know me, but didn't know it was me that was being posted about) and called me all kinds of names. One member - who I have regular communication with - even posted I had mental problems. (He quickly retracted when I PMd him.) The whole situation blowed over and no harm came of it, though the accuser occasionally will refer to me a year and a half later in posts and blame me for things I had nothing to do with. So again, there is no reason reason to doubt the OP and if something did happen, hopefully something is done about it. But use caution when taking sides before both sides are known. Just speaking from experience. Sep 05 14 08:24 pm Link Moderator Note!Please keep to the topic. It has pretty well been answered though.

If so they are not allowed back and may have made a fake account. Thanks. Sep 06 14 08:42 am Link Sorry you had a bad experience, but it happens on BOTH sides of the aisle. Realize, that there are models who make totally false accusations, about photogs, as well as photogs, who are less than professional. Follow the rules, and hope that no one else has a bad experience. If, on the other hand, your experience warrants it, you can take it to proper channels, off the group. If you feel this person is in any way dangerous, it might be helpful to someone else, to do that. Over the years I have seen only a few truly bad apples, when you consider the number of photogs, who work with models, both professionally, and for recreation. Trouble is.......those do make for sensational headlines in the media........and give the rest of the photographers a bad name. Sep 09 14 12:56 pm Link |
