I'm putting together a website that would let people check the credibility of models, photographers, and others in the industry. It would serve as another avenue for people doing reference checks on people before working with them.

Good luck!

Seriously... you will need a ton of luck and hope for accurate "reporting".

Reputations are destroyed easily, there are always two sides to a coin/story!

As a moderator of MM, I can tell you that we receive a tremendeous amount of complaints and accusations, just to find out after investigating that there was either a misunderstanding, miscommunication or, as we had it in several cases, a complaint filed by another photographer who is competing in the same market, or a fake profile tries to hurt another competitor etc.

Or pre-MM internet feuds between "colleagues" are spilling over into MM...

This is the reason we don't allow to "name names" in the fora, too often, it's false alarm and the few real cases... we handle those.

You'll be up for a surprise... possibly costly surprise...

Good luck!
