Friends don t let friends join Model Mayhem
I ve been on Model Mayhem for a long time and it s always been bad but there were no other sites of it s kind Now there s instagram where you can basically do everything MM offers but for free and you don t have to deal with the moderators Actually the reason I m even posting this is because of how terrible the moderators are They are incredibly rude to people and very open about it There are no standards and it s painfully obvious that they ve never been trained If you want somewhere to showcase your images and network with other people use instagram or facebook There s no point in paying to be treated like garbage I just realized this review could be sent to them If you re reading this Mod 7 I want you to know that you re terrible at your job Why you think you re better than other people because you work for Model Mayhem is beyond me It s Model Mayhem not Vogue magazine

scam and joke
Well I have been trying for two years to create a photographer account that will let me contact models The problem is there are three kinds of accounts for photographers unpaid and not activated by site staff cannot contact anyone only gives you a user name and password to log in with You ONLY get to see nude images that the user selected as members only Still see every other nude image on the site The site is strange it will let ANYONE online enter the site and see the female model with her genitals exposed or the male model masturbating himself But will censor and block an image of a female model in a bra that has holes to let her nipples stick out unpaid and active only wayt is to submit images of NUDE models ideally FEMALE PAID well PAID is paid Images I submit are ALWAYS in violation of some unknown policy on what is allowed in an image I post images of females sitting on rock leaning on a car or standing in front of an outdoor theme wall mural and i get my images rejected as being illegal not allowed images of landscapes and vehicles even though there are hundreds of thousands of clothed and unclothed female models in and on cars and laying in forest settings

A site for a toxic culture of
A site for a toxic culture of hypocritical rapist sociopaths to bully and troll others The moderators are straight up evil the secret police create a culture of fear and ban people for no reason and they want you to kneel before them and grovel just to be included in the fashion industry Beyond the deaths and rapes and lawsuits that have already happened on the site as well as the lawsuits that should have happened i sincerely believe these people should be shot in the street because society is only brought down by their existence on the face of this planet No one should have ever given them control over a website and power over the fashion industry will never again be in the hands of good people or professionals I m not one who usually buys into the whole rape culture idea but thats exactly what this is

Garbage automated unintelligent moderation
Model Mayhem has apparently teamed up with Google API to provide the worst user service experience ever They blame Google for mischaracterizing submitted photos such as quality-lit head and shoulder shots as mature Then you get snarky messages from their robot moderator telling you that all images are marked as mature content by default and that you need to go and unmark them resubmit them for consideration and blah blah and you guessed it blah This takes a ton of wasted time Furthermore half the models are one s that have been told they re pretty and should be a model by well-meaing and kind friends blowing smoke up their arses Many of the same models take themselves far too seriously From the models perspective i suspect that they re plagued with greazy amateur photographers that just want to be in the presence of of nude female regardly of her looks or talent For the talented and accomplished who use this website i apologize I m an experienced photographer with quality work posted in my sample shots and have gotten maybe one or two inquiries from their models I consider it a waste of time

Really Bad Behavior
Really Bad Behavior Admins and Moderators are very agessive and rude My pictures been deleted Admin saying pubic area was displayed It was not because the picture was cuted and you couldnt see anything I ask why mine was taken of and send them a link to a real porn picture hosted on their site legt been open and vulva was visible Got a very rude response in not correct english so I guess admins are not from US I really felt bad I was never treated like that In stead of handling it professional appologise or explain it propperly they been rude Also a lot of fake profiles models not responding and sometimes i believe its a platform for same sex dating - It seems like people are a bit tense as I heard from models too That there are a lot of scams and bad people The platform Modelkartei is better people are registered with ID and the behavior are friendlier and nicer

Here we are again
Here we are again I tried to have faith in MM but it s a no go The made a picture 18 when I am showing nothing that goes against their guidelines A classy picture I posted mind you this picture is on IG FB TW with no problems and praise I get a lot of love from photographers models etc on this platform I tried a VIP subscription again and it brought nothing but deceitful photogs asking for things that are irrelevant to modeling and have contacted moderators and not a lot was done cause these so called photographers with no real portfolios or social networking presence still messaged me lewd messages Once again certain models are in which all human colors are beautiful before I say this a white model can be near naked and pics displayed but mine was put with an 18 label I don t even post any boudoir nudes here anymore Also it took me 3 times to delete my wallet for subscription I tried to contact them Still no response I finally was able to delete my cards attached to my wallet MM still picks and choose what they want to do I m done cause I have all the great people and contacts that I need from here

Was a paying member for years
Was a paying member for years started posting tasteful nudes non-erotic as my skills as a photographer photos no different from what other models post themselves At first they took my photos down Explaining that it didn t meet the guidelines So then I started censoring my photos but they still took them down Also photos that I given other models I worked with but they didn t take theirs They claim that they a non-pornographic site but there are a ton of model that are in the adult business with active profiles Yet they bully the photographers It s seems like they have a double standard between models and photographers Long story short they took my money and my profile down claiming my photos were photographic Photos at my skill level that were no different then what other photographers and models had up

Unprofessionalism at its worst
I am Founder of several own businesses and have been a paid member to MM for years with both personal and business accounts giving jobs to multiple members It happened once that I violates 1 rule by mistake and my account was just blocked with no attempts to resolve the issue or notify me about what can be done In addition their customer service treated me like garbage when I complained about the situation I will be removing all my paid accounts and will also share the situation with my contractors and 50K social media followers Third world approach extremely rude and unprofessional

Beware terrible customer service Close down your account and keep your w o warning
Been a paying customer for years to promote my fashion and swimwear photography They shut down my account without any warning for posting two PG rated implied photos taken from a recent photoshoot When asked if I could just remove it they refused to refund or re-activate my account Would not recommend this company until they re-train their moderators Terrible customer service and time is better spent on instagram and facebook where this is more active traffic
