well you look at the posts with the most attention and ...bingo there you go an escort thread or some other one of your mentioned no no list. Its those threads that keep this site popular and Im sure most the people in this "ban this and that" group have participated in a whole bunch. The drama and the crap that these threads are make up this site unfortunatly.
       I dont understand when I see one of these threads and the first person to respond says "oh not this again." I think to myself when I see these threads "eh not interested in that" and keep going to something worth my time. It seems to me that the easiest way to avoid these threads to not click on them, nobody is forcing you to get involved, yet there you are putting response after response into the threads you hate....odd. Another point I think isnt brought to attention enough is maybe new people want to talk about something and be involved in a thread with others in the present not search for conversation had in the days of yore by the super posters. Should a topic be  retired after a group talks about it?
          I talked about my fishing trip with my friend yesterday and maybe Ill talk about it with my father tomorrow, my grandfather might ask next week and I should say "hey no one wants to talk about that again what the fuck, Ive told that story twice this week." I know no one wants to hear the same shit over and over but thats life instead of another thread about repeat threads why not just take your place at the top of the pecking order and watch the newcomers quibble about stupid shit?

Paragraphs are your friend.

Jason, I would rather have my questions answered by someone who knows what they are talking about than the ass kissers who populate the threads these days.

That is why the search function is good.  I haven't learned anything from new threads in ages.  It's all bullshit and asshattery.

No one gets their questions answered in the new threads anyway.  So that's not at all efficient.  Do a search, the info is all there.  Yes, we all want to be attention whores and start our own threads, no big deal.  But I would think the newbs would like some of the good attention, not the bad attention.

But what do I know?

I used to watch Matlock...and then I found MM.

Now I watch forums...much stranger, much more fun, much funnier.  Sometimes I am soooooo bewildered about the things people will post that would seem to be common sense. But then I learned that common sense is not so common.....

so, thanks for making this informative thread..... It helps out those who don't have any common sense......

heck, I just learned about weaves and magic hair things and hair colors and that good stuff......

I even learned about shaving the woohoo....not that I actually needed to know that...but, you know...it was good reading late that night.......

gosh! I like to read these forums....I discovered that I'm not such a weirdo after all....haahahahahaha.....ok...so, my wife does not agree....hahaahahaha.....

Now i will ask an unrelated question.....

Why do so many girls seem to want to study psychology?  I actually had a school counselor tell me that psychology is the most popular topic for girls.

ok....back to matlock again.....now, what channel was he on?? I wonder if his hair was a weave?? hahahahaha.....  he sure had a lot of hair for such an old guy......

I want to do shoots with girls with weaves....pretty damn cool!! a little girl was here the other day, yes, a shoot with an underage model...and she had pink hair things weaved into her hair....really cool.....

Geof, you have ADD don't you?  lol  So do I.

And girls like psychology because they think it will help them understand men better.  Or their mothers were crazy.

honestly, i"m not sure if I have it or not...a few years back I could concentrate and remember anything. Now I forget stuff sooo easy, so fast and life just seems a lot more pretty to me... some people have told me I might have had a stroke...i'm not sure. I can't remember....

i just take pictures and edit things now. 

it's funny...before I changed...I couldn't take a picture to kill me...everything I shot was soooooo stupid looking.... now I can take pictures and people tell me they are intriguing and beautiful.....

so, is that ADD?  Artistic Deficit Disorder.......

Now, where is that matlock dvd?? my grandma needs a pick me up and she soooo loves that guy with the gray hair....

I don't have very much hair anymore....my daughter keeps reminding me about that almost everyday.....that's why I have that photo of me in the hat...so ya'll can't see my hair or eyes...it's mysterious....hahahaahahah

sometimes i just sit here and type stuff that my mind is thinking....I have been breathing oxygen for a while and it's better than liquor.

oh!!! wrestling is on tv now...I hate that stuff....what kind of guy would want to wrap his arms around another sweaty guy and roll on the floor making grunting sounds???  Not I said the little red hen......

ok. back to tv again.....focus focus focus.....there's a hole in my bucket....and I feel fine smile smile smile smile    actually, it's the end of the world as we know it...and still, I feel fine....

what if I was the last man living on earth...would all the models love me more?? 

I want to put all of the good things Miss Fifi writes and publish it in a book form...then I can give it to some models I know.  wouldn't that be helpful?? 

has anybody seen my slippers??

I can't understand men either...why do they like to kill things and wrestle other men?  yuck! ah, but then I can't understand girls either.....hmmm...maybe I am still stuck in a cookie factory...anybody here...???

I need another cherry pepsi...the beverage of choice for those who can't remember the beverage of choice.....

what was I doing again?  oh yeah...tv....

I have a shoot on friday..I can't wait for it....she sounds like a wonderful lady who really loves art.....

I found a cool motorcycle for shoots...now I gotta get the airbrush artist to paint girls again....it took 15 hours to paint them last time....sooo much fun that day and night....and no matlock at all.....it was pretty funny....it came time for dinner...and the models were all painted up...so, how could they put on clothes to come to dinner at the house??  so, my wife just served them roast at the table and they all just sat there in paint and enjoyed dinner with us all.....I shall never forget that.....  you know? what can you do if you can't put clothes on because the paint will come off...well. you just have to sit at the table in the buff....I should have taken some pics of that for evidence......

golden girls is on now...don't yo9u just love those ladies?? 

I remember when I was in Jr. High...the yard duty lady had pink and purple hair....we laughed everyday....now I see it on teenage girls....especially in japan

I saw cinderella in japan...she was riding the subway...I have pictures to prove it...but I don't know how to put photos in these forums.....

I was talking on the phone to a potential model tonight...she said something about her 3 year old son...he is really cute she said. my mind started thinking about baseball.  so we talked about that for a while...I think she thinks I am insane. I hope she calls me back again..she was very pretty and I want to make art of her.

sometimes I wish life was like star trek. all the people wear those cool uniforms and everything is free and they have cool toys!!!

"7.DO NOT POST A RANT ABOUT HOW A PHOTOGRAPHER/MODEL/MUA DID YOU WRONG WITH IDENTIFYING INFORMATION!!!! It is called outing and it will get locked and you thrown on Probation. Also (as it's been proven many times in this forum), the truth will come out and you will look like a bigger asshole than the person you are outing."

What do you suggest one do if it is a safety matter? a photographer in NYC raped 15 ungerage girls because no one said anything! if a photographer endangers you or harrases you, let people know! it is not fair to let others walk into that trap. if a mod has a problem with that, contact me and i will describe in detail the legal aspect and logical aspect of this reasoning. have a good day.

that works too but sometimes they dont do anything for some time while the perp is still  working. with photography, especially if the photographer does nudes or porn or etc, cops with disreguard it, or take their time looking into it. also, it may not be something that the cops can do anythign about. i wasnt fooled by a certain photographer, and just because he said bad things to me, and told another that she should kill herself, thats not ground for me to call the cops. however, he was scamming people, and in my post many people spoke out. all it took was one person to say something. now people are watching for him, and he will be banned every time he tries again. Im not saying drop names because someone called you a slut or etc, but if you have grounds or have proof that somethign is wrong, then you should be able to say something.

Exactly, posting it on the internet isn't a very productive thing to do. All it will do is stir up trouble, get locked and hidden, and nothing will be accomplished.

If someone from MM has assaulted you, contact a Mod (https://modelmayhem.com/contactamod.php) and the police.

we have a legal system to deal with these things.  we also have a legal system where you can be sued for publically making unproven accusations, so be careful...

Exactly.... liability wise, it's not smart to put someone on blast. If you are positive (and I mean beyond a shadow of doubt positive) GO TO THE POLICE!
