MM #8716 this guy is going to give a critic on my work and left a tag that I deleted lol I think this is a fake portfolio. He's got nothing probably just a myspace person who wondered over and has no real life.

Robb unfortunately there are a whole mess of profiles like this taking up space here on MM.  Little by little if the moderators don't nip this in the butt right from the get.  This place will become a zoo with all kinds of scammers, porn, and BS artists all over the place.  And then MM will loose any credibility with models and photographers like OMP has.

how true and give credit to those who are the moderators and Tyler for the job they do. Hell it's hard enough to keep Calvin and his bikinimodel scam off the site.

I don't mind having people look at my work and leave a comment and most of the time they are possitive and people who have negative things usually don't comment. But when someone leaves a negative comment and has nothing to back himself (or herself) up with well that just pisses me off.

what I don't get, is why this guy would even leave a negative comment...your work is beautiful! In my opinion, this Ricky guy is just some creep who doesn't realize what art is, or what photography or modeling is. It is just some stupid little teenager or twenty-something punk who has no real life...I wouldn't sweat it. People like that are a dime a dozen, and you have more important things to do than worry about what some idiot says. You idd the right thing by deleting his comment. Maybe Tyler can do something about getting this creep off of MM.

Dear God, I see what you are talking about Robb.  Lets see what we have here.   A cat on a matt, a picture of film, a picture of a foot that would make the worlds leading pediotrist run for he hills, and a trashed up apartment (only assuming it is his)  This guy must be a legend in his own mind,
if he thinks he can hand out critiques without anything to back up  the credibility to his own work.

Unfortunately, this hack, no matter what his credentials are, has about every right to be here as you and I, provided that he is not violating any MM guidelines.  So until he does, I doubt he will be booted off.  People are entitled to their own opinions he critiques, we critique. Granted he is just a waste of space on the site, but again, that is my opinion.  Best thing to do is exactly what Robb did, delete the critique, say "Whatever" laugh at his port, and move on. 

Sorry to be playing devils advocate
