Someone did ... because now it is removed
He clearly had it marked with an M

should that not even be possible ?
All my images marked with an M have the avatar option greyed out
( unless he marked it after reading your post and did it himself , and it took a few minutes to "catch up " )

I don't know any of the three of your , but I think the rules should apply to everyone
THAT is what I tried to point out

It was marked M, so that means he set the avatar and then marked it M. I over wrote it after you mentioned it. I also took a look at your portfolio and marked 1 M for you that you most likely missed when uploading or the system messed up when you tried to mark it. No big deal. smile

Welcome to the Mayhem hienvy

Good ways to network are on the banner bar at the top of all MM pages: browse, castings, and forums.

Browse for photographers in your area and leave comments on images you like, send a friend request (click on heart icon on profile page) or private message (click on envelope icon on profile page in the upper right corner - mouse over the icons for a description). Start a list of photographer's photos that you think are top notch for photographers in your area. This can become something of a Rolodex. Make sure that you select the Advanced Options and select an appropriate Logged in within:. I typically use 30 days, but you may want people who respond faster. Otherwise you will get photographers who haven't logged in in over a year. There are a lot of inactive accounts.

Post an availability notice letting people know that you are available (under the castings tab). You are announcing your availability to work on other people's projects. This is for when you want to charge other people money. You can offer trade as well.

Search for Casting Calls in your area based on criteria you select. Post a Casting Call letting people know about an idea you have and want to put into a work of art. This is for when you are willing to pay other people. You can offer trade as well.

Search or Post Casting Calls and Travel/Availability Notices
Official Casting Call Rules - Read
Find the talent and resources you need on Model Mayhem

Make an announcemnet. Look on the front page for members offering comments for comments, and comment on their photos. Also make an announcement yourself.

Post a bulletin by going to My stuff > bulletins. Friends can see the bulletins you post.

Be active in the forums, but avoid trolls who start threads just to watch the ensuing flame war. Avoid threads that beat the deadhorse over GWC's, flakes, escorts, ..., etc. Use the forum search to look for posts on your topic. Make positive constructive comments. Whenever you get published, add some new photos, or accomplish anything in general, post an announcement in the Accomplishments, Achievements and High Fives forum. When people see your forum post the first thing they see is your avatar. It has to be interesting enough for them to want to click on it and look at your portfolio.

Share your other accounts on the Social Media User Name Sharing Thread.

Rinse and repeat.

Good luck in your search!
