Add Age Back In To Profiles - page 3

Simon Moffitt:

Cheri Clark just spotted your bio on onemodelplace and it said you do glamour. To you what does that imply and at what age do you think models should be able to do glamour?

Simon Moffitt:

UK Indulgence while I'm looking for parental oversight I had no problem with the uk girls pic. If that one was a problem the whole teen photographic industry would have to be closed down or on similar lines no teen bikini or underwear pics.

BTW considering Paypal it looks like they are run by ultra conservatives as they have closed down many accounts that would be considered mainstream glamour.

Cheri Clark:

Hi Mike,

Your absolutely right... I also saw a young 15 year old posing and suggesting her bottoms were coming off. Is that not only illegal but against what this site is trying to promote? Just a thought ..

hello everybody:
here are the answers to your thoughts:
1. I think you all dont know, but whole site, all pictures are moderated, not only models under 18. All pictures are carefuly checked, but it seems that moderators didnt find anything wrong with that picture, I dont see anything wrong either. Of course there can be issue with texts, everything was checked, but it seems it looked ok for many moderators.
2. UK most of your thought leads to one thing - banining models under 18. Its because what you are proposing takes too much time, too many resources, too costly.. we are searching for happy medium.
3. parent consent... how do you imagine to do that? how do you know that consent is given by the parents, not by anyone else? its impossible to implement.. anyone can write - I'm a parent, I approve the pics. We will end the same way, google and other companies dont care if the consent is or not. they banned us without notification.
4. active moderation - that means we need more moderators, who can work, who can spend their time.. its not so easy to find. traffic to the site is quite big and it takes a lot of time to do that.
5. main photos - clear facial. we dont have a problem with main pics. we can install the script for face detection in photo, but I think the site will become boring and it will look closer to dating site, not modeling.
6. new members cant post anything, unless approved. that was since the start.. I think there is a bug for blogs only. we will fix that.
7. regarding model Amber C. Same reason - moderators approved it. What do yoy advise to do? to change moderators, because they made a mistake? its really hard to trace fakes, but we try. if you find something, please send via tickets system for removal.
8. carib - such accounts you should send via tickets system, they will be removed. We dont posses information like that... If you know something its better to tell..
9. Simon - we dont know what is age OK now. I gave an example, it looks ok for me, but it was not ok for google. Nobody knows what is ok for google.

UK Indulgence:

My comments did not refer to the banning of under 18s in anyway - You have and are still reading my responses incorrectly!
I provided suggestions!
I also think that in view of being advised of a fake profile with photos of a minor that were banned from the internet over a year ago - You should remove it immediately rather than say here about moderation!

Ugnius Kiguolis:

you need to create a ticket, or write me with some proves.. there is no problem with the removal. we just need to know.

Cheri Clark:

Girls should never be allowed to download pictures on this site when they are pulling clothing off or exposing their breasts etc. Anyone can clearly see those girls who do not have a professional picture!!! Why are they here? Real legitimate scouts and agencies are certainly NOT going to pick these girls up and make them stars! Additionally, as some of you are aware, the members are not always who they say they are. We all know who I am talking about! He was banned, but that was only when I made a complaint against him. These people are predators that feed on our children. This site must clean it up, make parental involvement a must, and check out the people that want to post pictures. If this can't be accomplished, then perhaps this should be an adult site. If it is not cleaned up, I will pull Cheri' from the site..

Tekhanei?

Charles Griffin:

I saw pictures up for moderation for a five-year-old girl ID 208200. One shot is on a bed, but harmless, another shot is in a lttle bikini and I rejected it because it was awkward and her pose was shaded toward what one might suspect a five-year-old would think of as "growny". Another shot is a dead ringer for a Lolita poster with sunglasses and no clothing visible. Nothing was showing but the implication is there and I rejected it.

I'm no conservative and I believe in freedom of expression, but we have to avoid the appearence of impropriety to keep this website from being banned by businesses and countries. We have to police our selves.
As far as the kid goes, if her parents want to market her as a model, they have a couple of acceptable pictures and probably many more they could post. Since the child is stated as speaking English and Russian, their outlook may be way different than us uptight Americans, but I'm guessing that America is an important source of income for the site, so we have to moderate accordingly.
