trying what??  masturbating? if so, the first shot seems to indicate success.

He may have just put them up, can't point fingers yet.

Is there a way to report him?

Otherwise I would have done that NOT made a thread about it.

Does it really matter?  I think they are very inappropriate and they don't belong on this site....

Where the hell are the mods is right! This is WAY over the line. Left unattended, this will surely affect your membership. Isn't there a post going right now about proper age??? This just shows that age often has nothing to do with it.

Some idiots simply never grow up!

You know what I think is funny?  He's got 4 tags already.  LOL!

And yes... The pictures go WAY over the line.  If semen I see, that's too far for me!

Way, way over the line.  There are plenty of other places to put this type of stuff up in the internet, it shouldn't be allowed nor tolerated here.

Damn Drew I did not need to see that but you know us photographers we have to look. I agree it is over the line. I bet the Mod will shut him down soon.

One of the mods just woke up. Portfolio in question is denied. Gross. (even if it was 'fake, which I very truly doubt) I must believe he put those pictures in after we approved him. Krista Muller MM moderator.

It is gone now (although I saw it before it was deleted).

What sometimes happens is that a new member puts up a profile with a few tasteful images and gets approved.  After approval, he/she adds things that are inappropriate.

If you bring it to the attention of the mods by using the "Contact-a-Mod" feature, they will review the profile and either decide it is OK (which is not the case here), ban the member permanently or deny the profile temporarily, sending the member an e-mail advising them what they have done wrong.

The mods here do a great job of policing the site.  They can't monitor every profile after it is created.    To some degree, they have to rely upon other members to let them know if there is a problem.  While I agree that the images were inappropriate, if you just let the mods know, it will get taken care of quickly as was the case here.

As a moderator, I feel like pretty much kicking him off permanently, but i am going to contact and discuss this with the round table of mods. By looking at the port...which I also had to do...it is clear that he put in the nastiest pictures (which btw got the most views....lol) most recently. If you looked at the first 4 pics (too late now!) you would see that they were...sufficient...in terms of our minimum allowance to enter the site...but the new ones, nope. And I am pretty pro erotica...but that is just gross porn poorly done with a camera phone. Sorry, not mm style.

There have been some major museums around the country displaying jars of pee with stuff like crosses in them. Just goes to show peoples definition of art is relative. Maplethorpes explicit male and female photographs have been in galleries allover the world. From what I am gathering that the photographs in question involved, they sound kinda tame to me compared to the others.

Read the rules...

[4] NO PORNOGRAPHY! We would like to keep ModelMayhem.com a "work-safe" environment. No pornographic, sexually offensive, sexually explicit, or objectifying material. This includes linking to such material. Moderator's judgment applies here.

Lets move on.

I said nothing about me disagreeing with the rules, because I do not disagree with them.

I just looked at the images in question... well... in this case the "model" was jerking off and "shooting" his ejaculate on his stomach.

Although it's a healthy act, this is not tame for MM, and in my opinion, it's not just "crossing the line", it's so far over the line it falls into my definition of pornography.

I am not disagreeing that the shots were against the MM rules at all.

I know you don't disagree!

I just thought I explain what kind of images they were, because it's apparent that you didn't see them.

All the best Ray!
