On 10/28/2025 at 9:27 PM, PinkCouture said:^ Has Matt or anyone else expressed their frustration to TheDude2K yet? Also is this what got TheDude2K warned before or was it b/c of something else? I usually don't encourage this, but if this upsets Matt to the point he can't let it go, I think he should talk to TheDude2K about this.
I know Matt’s tried to explain that TheDude2k keeps reposting the same content, but Dude doesn’t seem to think he’s doing anything wrong since the images he's posting are either tagged, cropped differently, or resized a bit. From what I’ve seen, TheDude2k refuses to acknowledge Matt’s point, and Matt, in turn, can’t seem to let even the smallest infraction slide.
The number of theDude's posts that have been reported vs the number that we have had to modify nor delete is pretty ridiculous. I can't remember if it was Matt or someone else, but there was a similar situation with another member who had almost all their posts reported for alleged infractions. It definitely feels more personal.
The non-fashion images are definitely not against the rules, the reposts - if they want to report them provide a link to the original post and it can be dealt with. Honestly, Matt just needs to grow a set and talk to thedude and/or let it go.
Got this DM. Seems like you guys are already taking care of it:

Hi maddog107,
Sorry to bother you again. I think I'm being unfairly targeted as "reposting" here.
https://www.bellazon.com/main/topic/57666-carmella-rose/page/262/#findComment-6084740
I'm correctly changing the pictures to the correct orientation. How can that be considered a repost?
I suspect I know who is reporting me, too. And they are just being a Karen about it. Can you weigh in here?
I feel that I'm in good standing with this forum and unfairly targeted by one specific other forum member. I have over 30K posts and have never disrespected anyone on the forum. I just post because I like sharing good content, which I believe is what this community is all about instead of feeling like an HOA where your neighbor is reporting you for having grass that is 0.5" above its normal growth, i.e., absurd reporting.
Please help. I would hate to quit contributing to this forum with the constant harassment from the other fellow member who seems to have it out for me for some reason.
Thank you for looking into this matter! And I look forward to hearing from you.
TheDude2k
Assuming you agree that correcting an image to the correct orientation is not a repost, can you restore the images in this post?

I think it's wrong for someone to falsely report me as reposting in this case and many other cases.
I really appreciate anything you can do to help. I don't agree with the other admin editing/removing what I feel are valid posts.
...He's such a colossal manchild.
So instead of listening to what two admins have said to him, he goes running to the Bossman to complain You cannot make this shit up. God he's an annoying twathag.
^ Matt, Dude, or both?

Ok, just checking. I can't tell if he is young or is he a man with a lot of insecurities who mask it with arrogance and defensiveness. He sometimes comes off as if he is posting mainly for validation, praise and approval. I also believe increasing his post count gives a sense of satisfaction. I have noticed he gets upset over the smallest and innocent "feedback" as if it is a personal attack. For example, when he is told he repostrd (which sometimes happens by accident), instead of acknowledging it, correcting it, and moving on, he gets passive-aggressively upset and defensive as if you are insulting him as person. Even his DM to MD comes off as passive-aggressive and pompous.
If he is young, maybe he just needs time to mature. However, if he is an adult I hope he is seeing a therapist to work on his self-esteem and ego challenges. Either way, he needs to touch grass more.
I personally find this hilarious, however based on the rant I'm getting from Pretty I think I may be seeing it in a different light then others.

My frustration is justified! He didn’t like what we told him, so instead of addressing it directly, he went behind our backs to the Bossman to try get a different outcome for himself. That’s a bullshit move. He needs to grow up. And for the record, rotating a picture doesn’t make it new. It’s the same image, just turned. Still a repost.
If he wants to go out of his way to be a little bitch, have at it, but I'm not letting him get his way.

^^ ALL OF THIS.
@Voiceofreason is insane. I've moderated their content, but I'm of the opinion if they keep going with their nonsense they just warrant a straight ban. From what I can see they contribute nothing of value.
Anyone heard of these people?

Hello!
I would like to know or make you aware if the profiles of @iaiopeppers and @Trunkse are the same person, due to suspicious posts regarding their participation in the "The Best Model Championships" forum competition.
Thanks a lot for your help and sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi!
Member @zorzabosti has sent me a private message asking for help.
He is being harassed in messaging by another member who used to post bot content in the Renee Murden thread and was banned.
What can we do to help him?

What would you like to do about this. The member has several accounts, do we you want me to ban all the accounts, or all the secondary accounts, leave his main and give him a warning?
Good evening.
What do you think of this member @Malcom7 ?
He's again asking for the deletion of some threads that he started about models.
He's lied before.
Do we believe him?
I have contacted him to try to understand where he gets the images from, to find out if the claims he says he receives are real.

He PM'd me as well, but he only asked for one specific post by minerva where the model had some nudity in it. Seemed wierd, I asked them for more info as well. Overzelous person who doesnt want others to see a fashion model or a legitamite request?
@Malcom7 drives me absolutely insane. I would take anything he says with a grain of salt. He had a tendency to throw temper tantrums if he's not getting the validation he seems to feel he deserves an goes back and delete as many of his posts as possible, leading to number blank/empty posts. I question if a lot of his reports about "the model wants it down" as I have had extensive conversations about moderation and or banning if he kept deleting his own posts.
