Enough with friend's request from MMers w/ "porn"
Hope this is in the right section. I'm really tired of getting friends requests from MMers with ports that could easily be classified as porn. If that's what people want to feature on their ports - that's their business but I've clearly indicated I am not interested in that but get many MMers with that stuff repeatedly requesting my friendship. When I recognize them I delete instead of clicking on the avatar but sometimes I don't recognize them and click. Recently a male MMer made a request and when I clicked there was total frontal nudity. My children are often around me when I'm on my computer but besides I think it's a gross lack of respect to basically expose such pics to someone with no interest. I wish I could actually block those ports from mine but I can't so I'm kindly asking those of you who know who you are not to contact me. Thank you. Apr 20 06 06:03 pm Link hmmm You started off saying porn then you ended saying just nude modeling. There is a bit of a difference between porn pics...(which aren't even allowed on here supposedly) and nude or artistic nude modeling. So not sure which one you are referring to. either way...they obviously can't read or think you are referring to porn and not just plain nude modeling. but just continue to deny them. They will get the hint evenually Apr 20 06 08:00 pm Link dncphotos wrote: She is complaining about how her virgin eyes are seared when she opens up the portfolio of someone who displays images that she finds offensive. She shows the standard tactic of the easily offended by using a very strong term (porn) to label any display of skin beyond what is shown by burkhas. Apr 20 06 08:03 pm Link It should be a setting to not show anything marked 18+. Apr 20 06 08:07 pm Link San Francisco Nudes wrote: That is an excellent idea. Apr 20 06 08:10 pm Link How about simply denying the "friend" request? If you don't want them as "friends" and you don't want there to be a link to them on your Friends List ... you can always use that option. Apr 20 06 08:11 pm Link Yep I agree Apr 20 06 08:13 pm Link I don't equate nudity with porn. I don't think most people do. It's all about the message, the way something is shot, the intent/ body position. I have nudes in my portfolio...personally as a makeup artist I could not see limiting myself to clothed photos only. You certainly have a right to, at the same time, in a place we are all focused on creating art, you have to keep in mind that for many that does include the beauty of the human body. Apr 20 06 08:20 pm Link nudity is definitely not porn... to me, porn means sexual acts and unless someone is like actively masterbating in the pic, then it isn't porn. If you don't want to be friends with someone who has nudity in their port, then just decline it. Also, a hint of advice..the internet is a dirty place.. maybe just stop checking MM with your kids around. Apr 20 06 08:27 pm Link I think this is officially the stupidest post of the day. If you're afraid your kids will see something on the internet that's so horrible that they'll start to think nudity and sexuality are normal, the swictch is right there on the front. There's also a fail-safe device called a plug: Grasp firmly, pull toward you, repeat when necessary. Apr 20 06 08:32 pm Link I fart in this posts general direction!

Apr 20 06 09:26 pm Link Amazing that all of you who agree that others have the right to express themselves without clothes should get so heated up that I express my right not to have nude pics linked to my port. I didn't resort to name calling as many of you did and I did say you have to right to post whatever you want just as I have the right not to view them. Is anything wrong with the human body? Of course not - it's beautiful! However how many of you walk out of your front door completely naked - if you don't why not? The reality is there are as many standards in the world as there are people some set by individuals some set by society. Call me stuck up or use any of the other obscene terms you may choose - the fact is we all have rights. I was not impeding on anyone's right by exercising my right to control what I view. Maybe you should take the time to read the post carefully and actually listen to what is being said instead of lashing out.

Apr 20 06 09:39 pm Link Deirdre wrote: I think it's more you calling the nude photos Porn than anything really. Apr 20 06 09:44 pm Link Speaking for myself here. I have done (and hope to do more) artistic nudes, but that is certainly not the only thing I am interested in (not even my primary interest). I would like to build up my portfolio and experience with more portrait and fashion work, but mostly I want to do more rock&roll and artistic long exposures (which doesn't quite fit here). The fact that someone is not interested in posing nude, in full or in part, would not deter me from requesting them as a "friend," my focus is not that narrow. I don't know why the fact that I have nudes in my portfolio would deter someone from posing for me within their own sphere of comfort, especially when they can see there is more to my work than that. But that is their choice to make. My $.02 Apr 20 06 11:02 pm Link Deirdre wrote: I did read it. You have a problem with looking at nudity in other people's portfolios. It offends you to actually get a friend request from someone wiith a nude image. You wannt them to stop because YOU can't take the tiime to filter out the requests, and because YOU judge them as not suitable as a 'friend' on this site if they show any skin. If yoou have a problem with seeing nudity, you are on the wrong site. Scrub the account and head to www.disney.com Apr 21 06 12:52 am Link Deirdre wrote: Perhaps you should have browsed the site a little more thoroughly before signing up. You might have seen what you were in for... Apr 21 06 12:58 am Link Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries, now go away before I taunt you a second time! Apr 21 06 01:02 am Link ok.. first off.. I AM SORRY.. but your kids got bodies too.. and guess what!?!?!?! they got the same stuff! well there's 2 different kinds, but i guess your education goes far beyond that (i hope) Anyways.. I believe that the body can be such an interesting subject to photograph. If you believe that sunsets photography is good let me tell you it's probably the lamest since you pretty much gotta snapshot it, and it an look nice, but it's BLAH, CLICHE!!! Tough!!!!!!!!, the body has all kinds of textures and so many different volumes that can be amazing to photograph. I will agree with the fact that some pictures are horribly taken and the 'art' content in them is minimum. but the fact that there are nudes shouldn't bother you, i don't think, i think that can work. Porn may bother you but just because of them 'being suggestive' that's what i think is okay to feel bothered by..and what you can do is get the link for the picture and note it to a MOD the picture will get reviewd and if it's really offensive be removed.... otherwise..either live with it, or don't type www.modelmayhem.com when you are getting an address in your browser address  that will protect you and your children aswell..Apr 21 06 01:10 am Link I disagree in that not all nudity (even male nudity) is porn, but I do think that MM should give the option of viewing 18+ images. Or at least give a warning before entering one's portfolio page that 18+ are included within.

Apr 21 06 01:27 am Link I state that you might find my pics offensive, so if you than do well I can't feel bad can I? Star Apr 21 06 02:37 am Link this might not be the best idea, but why dont you change your age in your MM info to under 18. but make it clear on your profile of your real age, and why you changed it. that way, you wont be able to see those types pictures at all.  Apr 21 06 04:36 am Link In my opinion, if you are a stylist and simple nudity offends you, there is going to be a lot of business you will miss out on.

Apr 21 06 05:01 am Link *SIGH* Its really quite simple..dont add them as friends and hit the deny/no button rather than the yes one. I also suggest that if nudity offends you and you are afraid that your kids may see it that you DONT log into a site that holds 18+ pictures in the first place. The responsibility for your kids maybe seeing anything you dont want them to nude wise lies firmly with you on that one. Wait until they are not around to log onto the site. I am having flashbacks to that simpsons episode all of a sudden. Apr 21 06 05:12 am Link Brian Diaz wrote: Yah...
