About Nude Photos as the Main!
Ty Simone, uhhh your pics seems fine. Even though it shows nipple... you cant really see it in the thumb. I'm not gonna be supercop over this issue. I'm fine with pics like EMG STUDIOS. It's just the pics that show it outright to your face like BAM! ... That we cant have  And for the record, I loathe the anti-nudity crusade Apr 28 05 01:24 pm Link Or Matt's answer for a more clear cut definition Apr 28 05 01:25 pm Link Thanks Tyler. I was ready to swap it out for a more controversial one :-) I got my Virgin Sacrifice picture waiting in the wings.... I seriously think that there should be a taste test to it as well. And I prefer the site be more professional than an OMP. BTW [begin brown nosing] This is shaping up to be a great site [end brown nosing] :-) Apr 28 05 01:29 pm Link I was just asked by ModelMayhem not to post any artistic or other wise nudes to my front page. I agree with you. The fact that this is a free site and is open to kids makes it only wise not to have such style of images posted on main. Although how are you gonna stop kids or minors from once they go to your page from seeing any nudes. I respect this site and have not posted any nudes since last asked. I can see your point of view being a sponcer to this site.

Apr 28 05 01:50 pm Link No nudes on main page. My opinion. Could lose models if they think that this site is all about nudes. It isn't. It is about beauty, art and freedom. Let them go inside and see all the nudes they want. But let's not throw it in their faces. Apr 28 05 01:53 pm Link Posted by Wes Adam: Well said!! Apr 28 05 01:58 pm Link I got the request (a notice in the upload screen, actually) quite a while back. No problem for me, I appreciate the way Tyler has handled it. I think my default image suits the rule just fine, it's no more revealing than the image on the front page of my website where nudophobic (is that a word?) types get a warning. There are times and places for pushing the envelope. A budding website that *might* give us the opportunity to replace OMP isn't my idea of a battleground for an artistic cause. Apr 28 05 01:59 pm Link While I agree that Americans on the whole are way too uptight about nudity, me shoving my ta-tas in their faces isn't going to remedy that. At least, it hasn't so far. Anyway, as a matter of curtesy, I was making my default image a non-nude anyway. It's bad business for me, but I'm still doing it. So nyah. Apr 28 05 02:36 pm Link I generally don't do nude shoots, so when Mandee jumped in front of the Bentley in her birthday suit I was a little taken by what my camera was looking at. That's not to say I care anything about what other photographers do. I will assume that there is a content filter in place that's why they ask for your age when you register and also ask if the image that you're uploading contains nudity. Although I wasn't a child of the 70's; (I swear I'm not a day younger than 27) I wish there was the "FREE LOVE" theory running wild now-a-days........ Oh wait, there is.....they call them RAVES don't they? Apr 28 05 02:50 pm Link no female nipples visible I think this standard works well, that's basically what you can see in advertising anywhere. Some of my favorite shots of mine are nudes, i dont mind having to have a default image that isnt, i'd prefer to have a nude simply cause i like some of them better, but rules are there for a reason, so ya follow them. Apr 28 05 03:03 pm Link I think there needs to be a litmus test for the image. I can not believe that people would think this is better than the Gemini Image, simply because nothing is visible. But hey, It meets the criteria above...... -Just little 'ol me being controversial again.... Apr 28 05 03:08 pm Link OK my main is fixed now ... Personally I don't have a problem with this - site rules are site rules - they can even evolve if they need to. Personally I'd rather have my kid looking at work like mine rather than a model grabbing her tits like she just discovered them ... Just sayin ... Apr 28 05 03:44 pm Link |
