Being a lawyer first and and a photographer second, I always take what people have to say about someone when they're not around (e.g., tags) with a grain of salt. Sure, if I see a bunch of positive or negative tags it tells me something, but it's essentially hearsay. I prefer to judge people based on their actions over time.

"I can see that your off to a good start by your art work, welcome to m.m."

Now, I didn't write that,but someone else has...ALOT!  I've seen it on at least 100 pages, regardless of the quality of work or model's look.  It's about as annoying as the "You've Got Mail" that I used to hear on AOL.

Are you saying you've read some "bad" tags?  I'm mortified.
Honestly I've never seen any on this site.
