Anyway, if the person does not want to upload his/her photo and it would be
required, he/she may upload fake photos just to have them there. Will you trust
it more? I would not.Love to Love |

think you're too strict on this one. what if someone decides to create an
account on jurgita.com but wants to upload pictures later? like a week later or
even a month later. should these people be rejected automatically? it doesn't
make much sense to me. |

Fair enough point
I just brought this up as there's been a lot of new members with no pictures &
there's been a bit of a buzz in the air with some of the others for a while
wondering why

Only a suggestion but would too strict
The buzz in the air from some of the others is the concern that there could be
some scammers in among them too, though Rasa's point about fake photos... you
see a lot of that on dating sites & social network sites already & there's no
way to really verify the photo's are of the person or not unless you were face
to face with them |

 ID: 36127 Posts: 8 | Date: 2008-11-11 14:15 I do agree that a photo should not be mandatory...
However, as I have seen in many new accounts created, without a photograph,
their height and weight ratios are way out of wack. For example 5' 9" in height
weighing 55 lbs...is far from realistic...
However, I think it should be mandatory to put in factual height and weight and
at list put something in one of the fields...
I am not saying that as soon as a person signs up they have to spend 5 minutes
typing in all their experience or so on, but at least 1 sentence in one
catagory.
I myself have signed up to websites and just not had to time or patience to sit
down and typing everything in at one sitting, but one sentence in any field is
not that time consuming and helps the moderators file through the accounts
easier and give some insight into the person. |

there. People just have to be careful who they deal with on sites like this.

It's easy to copy a photo from most places, that's how scammers get them
So it's as easy for someone that's got not so good intentions to just copy
photo's from somewhere & use them to create a profile on here, so effectivly
making it mandatory wouldn't stop the fakes, was just an idea though |

 ID: 258287 Posts: 283 | Date: 2008-11-11 18:19 Yes & no.. well most scammers presently dont have photos up so they're in among
the photo-less, I'm not bothered either way but am sorta reluctant when
moderating them! |

 ID: 183878 Posts: 1575 | Date: 2008-11-12 08:59 Well, you all should know how I feel. I say out with them all!
If you can't make an effort, even a fake photo is better than nothing, why would
you want to associate yourself. Just to take up space?
Actors should have credits and photos, so too dancers, producers--all
professionals!
And who flirts with someone with no image? Although I don't participate in that
aspect, I'd want an illusion, if I did.If I haven't been there, I'm still planning on going!
If I haven't done it, I've still got time to try! |

I've got to retract me earlier semi pull back & agree with Charles on this
one
After all... some of the other sites won't verify your profile if you don't
upload pictures, and when I joined up here back in march I couldn't proceed past
the photo uploading process as the info said my profile couldn't be verified
without photos & I'm just an ordinary member so if it's not required now it must
have changed since |

Yes, the rules have obviously been relaxed. I frequently find myself asking why
someone would join a site like Jurgita and not be able to download even one
photo. It hints at the seriousness of the applicant. |

Pictures shouldn't be mandatory for most types of accounts. It is their choice
if they want to be taken seriously in this business or not.
The bigger issue may be that some profiles, say, a producer, have no pictures
AND no listings in their professional experiences. Or photographers who states
they want to shoot nudes, but only have pictures of trees or their pets in their
portfolios. How would anyone make a decision base on that? Yes, everyone has to
start somewhere. But would it not be better to say "I am starting out with
little experience but want to learn...." then to pretend to be something one is
not?
Is one a producer if they have no production credit? What if they have no
production credits and a picture? Will that make them a more experienced
producer? |

| Date: 2009-05-24 20:05 This is a tough one
I don't think there is a right or wrong answer here.
I honestly beilive there are people on this site who have no interest in
modeling - photography or any part of the industry - they are here - to check
out models and ask for hook ups or prey on the ametuers. When I am looking for a
model if they have no pix or a pix from a cell phone - I don't even bother. When
one of these come to me for moderation - you know they are not models or
photographers, but it is an approve or disapprove only question - I am more
forgiving for the just happy people and other industry types. Are there plenty
of just starters on here who have tons of pontential - but lack a professional
port?
Yes.
I can't judge a talent from a developing country as I can from the US or England
or France - and I won't judge them the same - every one has the same chance.
But the spammers are here - and so I might add are the con-artists - praying on
young and unguided. These too need to be kept in check.
We must all use our best judgement in our moderating - and keep a watchful eye
on the ones who have come here to grow and learn and advance themselves. |

Kar, I loved that deductve reasoning--Pro Choice & Right to LIFE on
Jurgita's=INTERSESTING Political campaigning--Kinda like instituting the
defendant's: Innocence until proven guilty strategy!........*U* deserve
kudos for that!!
To Answer the last Q: Certainly Not a Producing Producer; but,
as an entrant it allows for distinction of clarifying which direction will be
pursued by distinguishing thee domain of categorical listing. However, One would
then be ONLY a possible perspiring Aspirant, 'til an obtainable credit removes

other it won't stop them. As mentioned above-everybody can use fake...Depends on
the type of profile...but anyway, people that are not confident in their photo
appearance should have right to join and communicate. |
