Open a CAM thread if you want to talk about it, let's not hijack this thread anymore than needed.

You already did that when you posted this:

C'mon man, you know that the "uncivilized" posts are all over the place.
I'm sorry Ched but you're wrong, you are wrong on this one.
This is reminding me of certain countried where you can get arrested and in somen cases executed for your beleifs or what you say.
You are WRONG.

Howard, again it is my opinion that your opinion is the correct answer to this situation.

What the hell is a "CAM" thread anyway?

The more reason why models are just props. We got one right here. Maybe I should do a series where I just gag the models. They don't need to talk.

Isn't that kind of a rule 1 violation right there?  Calling her a prop and implying that he wants to gag her??

CAM is Contact A Mod.

And every opinion  doesn't equal validity.  Some are just plain inflammatory.   But  you know this.  You exist to stir the pot.

My nude shot of Julie (https://www.modelmayhem.com/pic.php?pid=468619) hasn't gotten nearly as many views as a simple clothed shot of Sarah (https://www.modelmayhem.com/pic.php?pid=264942).

EDIT: Actually I just noticed an implied nude of OhLei has way more than either of those (https://www.modelmayhem.com/pic.php?pid=312943).

His opinion is that all models are props.  In a certain respect, I am in agreement.
He also believes that models should not speak and just model, in certain respects I have to be in agreement as well.  If you are shooting a clothing catalog, it is not necessary for input from the model.  She is the hired person that is used to display the clothing.  The shots are about the clothing, notthe model.

It is actually almost never about the model, but about the product she is selling.  When on set and you have a Photographer, Art Director, Stylist, MUA, etc...   Why does a model need to give her input?  What could she possibly add to the knowledge and vision of the client?  Nothing...

The female form has always historically caught the imagination of viewers since cave drawings. Cleavage draws every eye. Nudity spans the complete gammit from sensitive, artistic, creative, art to erotic and what they call pornography but the definition is as unique as the eye of the beholder.

They make stop lights red. Nude gets attention but it does not necessarily mean it is a negative. Nor is nudity necessary to be a perfect image that wlll capture the imagination of the viewer.

I hope I never become desinsitized to the image of a beautiful woman!

My port is chock full of scattered ass and debauchery, yet the most commented on photo is a head shot of Angel Tara

https://www.modelmayhem.com/pic.php?pid=1003523

And the pic I have that has gotten the most comments the quickest is the most clothed fashion image of of Andrea.

https://www.modelmayhem.com/pic.php?pid=1750316

So I guess this debunks your theory.

I 'personally' enjoy big boobs.  I photograph whatever the client wants me to photograph...as a professional, that is my job.

'Chicken Cutlets' aren't boobs!  They are 'fakies'.  What are you doing with them around your house? Do you use them as Paper Weights?

I didn't quote the whole thing, but I read the whole thing, and I was responding to the whole thing. Sounds like you're just trying to shut me down because I called you on something.

Your conclusion from all you wrote above it was still wrong. Models bring a lot to the table if you're not too paranoid to let them contribute.

Too funny....it's like every other thread. You read the OP's post and then read maybe 1 or 2 things after them....it's all about the OP's post. Then you click on the last button and it brings you 2-3 pages into the thread and it's always people hating eachother and being mean. Every thread ends in hate...you guys are too funny smile

Yes you called me something which is in direct violation of Rule #1, but where is Ched now?  I thought so...

It has nothing to do with Paranoid, a model's job in the instance I was talking about 'is' to show off the clothing.  If there are people there who's job it is to style, create the image, and design the whole thing, a model who gives her OPINION is out of bounds if it's not asked for... 

Do you tell your MUA how to apply the makeup? No, you tell her what you want. She applies it any way she wants as long as the end result is what you asked for.  A model should not give her opinion w/o being asked because maybe she doesn't know the WHOLE STORY.  How many professional photoshoots have you been on with a full crew?  I've shot many 'Supermodel' photoshoots behind the scenes and the 'Supermodel' NEVER gave her opinion unless she was specifically asked.  For a model to give her unsolicited opinion is not only out of line, but it is unprofessional.

No Ched is right. The OP is trying to bait people with condescending statements and Ched was nice enough to let everyone know that the op cant post for a day so if you make a comment to him you will have to wait for a reply.

Just because we don't catch everyone doesn't mean the rules still aren't the rules set down by Tyler. Just because you get away with speeding doesn't mean there is no speed limit.

Saying because MM is asking people to act in a courteous manner to one another that this reminds you of a brutal dictatorship? Unlike a brutal dictatorship here no one is making you stay!!! Have a good night.

It sounded to me like he is talking about 'Smart Mouthed' models.  Big difference...
I take "Smart Mouthed" as 'Smart Ass'.  In which case, how can you not agree?

Oh no you don't, you keep using this cliche " if you don't like it then leave" type comment everytime someone confronts you with your abuse of power.
I'm not letting you get away with it pal.
Yes there are rules but as I indicated before, and you so conveniently choose to ignore in order to make yourself look more macho than anyone else, is that selective enforcement of the rules is wrong.  Someone else call ed the OP a troll but he was not sent to the brig. You guys keep using the therm "baiting" loosely (you can't come up with something better?) but the fact that free expression is not a crime and if you see it as "baiting" as you call it, then that's your problem.  If someone posts an image and I give a negative critique ( as in poinitng out it's faults, not an attack) you will probably throw me in the "brig" for an attack? C'mon people grow up.
Like I stated before, you guys are abusing this authority you've been given with this brig thing. You're acting like a bunch of bullies.

Oh...one more thing, this conversation was between Ched and me, what's wrong Ched can't manage his own conversations that you have to butt in and show us your "muscle"? PRetty big of you to hide behing a computer terminal and play big, how about you try doing that to me face to face and see what happens.
GOD I can't stand bullies.

I know and YOU know that someone called him a troll and that person is exempt.  Such is life!  It is unfair and unjust, open up a 'new' thread about it and start a CAM thread.  Moderators are human too and they make mistakes as do we.  I agree with everything you said in your post!!!

You are now calling out a Moderator by name.  He will NOT look bad only because he has the power to squash you on this arena.  Be bigger than him and make your challenge in his arena, the CAM area.  You will end up being correct, and all the moderators 'WILL' know this and you will know this.  It has happened to me.  The satisfaction is far greater than what you are doing here.  Please email me about the outcome...
