I have always felt bad for him. He seems to have serious issues and not getting the help he needs. Considering how long this has been going on, and it seemed to have gotten worse, breaks my heart

I used to be friends with him back in the day and you're correct this has been going on for at least 13-14 years. His worship of Ines is down right scary... but the scarier part is that he's self aware of his obsession with Ines, and he just doesn't care if it's right or wrong. That is the type of behavior you start to see in a young age with very dangerous people.

Also any idea what's going on with Sanni? She was my friend and we spoke over skype... something changed in the last couple of months and she's become shady, and downright mean and combative. I sent her a PM asking if anything was wrong but of course she read it and ignore me.

I have PM'ed Pa a few times in past and he has always been very kinda & sweet although a bit delusional. I am not sure is he fully aware of the alarming degree of his obsession. It might be others have voiced their concerns about his behavior and he is repeating what he has been said to him   I do agree he doesn't care if he is right or wrong. How he feels is very real to him therefore maybe in his mind his behavior is justified although others are telling him otherwise I don't know him well but I am concerned about his well-being and I really hope he doesn't do anything to harm himself 

As for Sanni she has been acting strange . She's been randomly ranting a lot and seems to be upset about something.  I hope everything is ok

I just read this and WTF?

Schemer has always been irky, but he's never been that combative. I'm kinda shocked at the level of white knighting.  He seems so absolutely offended Candice took a job with someone he doesn't like. Oh fucking well buddy, you do what you have to - to pay those bills. And while Terry might be sleazy he was never convicted of anything, so let it go and let the woman work with whomever she wants.

Yeah, Schemer seems to be getting edgier by the day. I believe he's on his second warning for being abusive now so if it happens again, suggest we put him on mod watch.

He seems to have 2 main modes: Trolling or Serious & Intense. When he is Serious & Intense he often makes very good points but again his delivery is what gets in the way  

I have noticed a trend in Candice's thread: telling a grown ass woman what she should or shouldn't do in regards to her life decisions  She has survived this long and have done very well for herself. She doesn't need anyone to tell her what to do especially when she never asked for our advice to begin with. And what right do any of us have to tell someone else what they should or shouldn't do with their life!? They really need to stop being so concerned with her life & viewing her as a dumbass and start focusing on themselves

As for Schemer's comment, I understand what he is saying but I don't necessarily agree. Just b/c TR has been sleazy with other models doesn't mean he has been sleazy with her. From what I have heard it is mainly younger models who are just starting out he acts a bit shady towards. Also, with all these allegations and negative publicity he is getting I think he would be more careful of his actions & behaviors. And again, I am sure she is well-aware of who she is dealing with, and she is more than capable of protecting & defending herself

A couple times I asked Josie about working with Terry when she was 17/18/19 years old and why there were a bunch of pictures of her topless, she basically said that Terry is flirty but no more flirty than most men and that it was her decision to remove her clothing because she felt super comfortable around him, plus Josie just liked being naked, she still does in fact, she can't do it as much because of the kids. Earth child to the core

She also mentioned that while in studio and at Terry's house the girls she was working with were practically throwing themselves at him, one actually offered to suck him off in front of Josie and Ana Beatriz, and being that Terry was in an open relationship with his then girlfriend he let the model do her thing, plus Terry's GF was watching which Josie said was pretty damn hot. Terry would sometimes ask the models if they wanted beer to relax during some of the more risky shoots that involved nudity, but both Ana and Josie turned it down and he was completely cool with it. Josie also said that over the years she worked with him or hung out with him that at no point did he go after her, or get super hand's on with her or anyone else she was around, unless the model/actress/singer was clearly into him. He was simply more amused at the desperate girls and guys who thought they could flirt or fuck their way to the top. So in the sense Terry utilized that desperation to benefit him, at long as they were consenting, why not

Terry used to go through a lot of "fuck friends" and most of the younger girls couldn't handle his lifestyle of hard partying, fucking, swinging and drugs and they would bolt which left the models scrambling to tell their agencies why they wouldn't work with him anymore, so they made shit up in most cases rather than own up to how badly they screwed up.  Josie and her then GF Bijou Phillips and her close friend Reka Ebergenyi used to hang out in Terry's studio all the time and Josie said she could count on both hands the number of times people would stop by his studio and have melt downs over just about anything and everything. One girl from Germany kept yelling at Terry calling him Bitches, but because of her accent sounded like she was calling him Peaches which if course made Terry laugh, the model then turned around and tried to sue Terry for "sexual" harassment.

I honestly do not believe Terry is a bad guy, I think Terry had a lifestyle which was misunderstood, and I think people panicked when they found themselves in situations they weren't comfortable with or didn't know how to respond to.  Terry is a dad now, and he's just doing his thing, and people pointing fingers at him without any proof nearly destroyed his career.

Michea Crawford also said Terry was rad to work with. He asked her if she was okay getting naked and told her she had a great body. Michea said sure and took off her clothing for him, but she left her socks on because her feet were cold

Lostdiadem asked to have her warning removed for multiple accounts. I told her no b/c we don’t remove warnings but if whoever warned her thinks she has clearly proven her and Peroxideblond are not the same person then it might be ok. I think most people are not 100% convinced but idk.

I believe they're two different people now, but.... I know the type of person Lost/FakeBlonde are. If you give them an inch, they'll take a yard. Backing down from our original punishment will kick open the door for extra things to be asked for... just give it enough time.

If you want to remove them I will support it, but I do not want to placate to them for any reason.  I don't know why she's so worried about the warnings, it's not like anyone can see them. I think this is just a case of wanting to appear without any faults.

btw - I made the mistake of allowing Lost to help me with templates, and over the course of the comp two got messed up for whatever reason. She had a biblical meltdown and I had to listen to 10+ messages of how angry she was. I apologized a number of times because I'm not perfect and shit happens, and it wasn't good enough for her. She still continues to bitch and moan about just about anything. Her warnings bring me great pleasure LoL not as perfect as you think you are bitch.

The reasons why I don’t want to remove the warning:

1. I was told by an Admin many years ago we don’t remove warnings.

2. It wouldn’t be fair to other members. There has been other members who have requested their warnings be removed and we have told them no.

3. We probably don’t want to set a precedent of removing warnings. It would cause more BS than it is worth.

4. It is easier to keep track on violations rather than having to search this thread or relying on our memories.

I don’t have issues with either one of them but sometimes they do make bitchy, snarky, whiney, immature comments. This is esp true of PeroxideBlonde. She is usually the one who sends me whiney PMs complaining about some petty issue  

Lostdiadem’s argument is PeroxideBlonde doesn’t have a warning so neither should she. I don’t think I was the one who gave the warning(s) so I have no clue what’s up with that  I do agree they do seem like the type of you give them an inch they will take a yard  

So the warnings stand and they'll have to deal with it? All your points are valid, and if they don't like it, oh well.

I'm a little shocked FakeBlonde sends you PM's though. I always got the impression she was anti-staff and didn't want to deal with them unless she absolutely needed too.

First post:

"Very telling of your mindset. Let’s just say that you and your ilk’s reputation would be in shambles if names were ever revealed regarding who rated what. "

I’m talking about overall reputation, not the number of “likes.”

My response:

Are you looking to be put on post moderation? I would suggest you stop this line of conversation now. If you'd like to take this to PM with pheno or myself then by all means, but chances are you won't considering you have yet to reply to my last PM. Last warning

Sanni is so damn close to being put on moderation. She's basically suggesting that staff are buddy buddy and it's why we're getting positive reputations, or that Pheno is the reason we have higher reputations. She's absolutely fucking insane. One minute she's being civil with me, then the next she's coming at me or other with not so subtle slaps.

At this rate she might be heading towards Mod Watch

 I wonder what happened? She has been acting strange the past few months and it seems out of the blue  

Sanni is now baiting punishments being given out. I cave Pheno a warning for doing the same thing as Sanni and because I forgot to give Pheno a warning point, it's "fake"

6 minutes ago, Sanni said:

 

0 points? Looks fake. Hope I didn't break another rule by posting.

So I removed the first pheno warning and gave her a second one with a point on it so Pheno could post it and shut her the fuck up.

If she goes on Mod Watch, can you please do it. If I do it, she'll say I'm being mean.

Wait, members could see each other’s warning points now?  

Sure, just link me to the next post. I will try to talk to her as well and see could I get her to go back to her corner  I doubt she would listen to me but it is worth a try.

No, no members can see warning points, but she's baiting Pheno to prove that I in fact gave her a warning... The BS is going down here: 

(I did remove 11 posts of back and forth)

I've spoken to Pheno and she's laughing about the entire thing, she doesn't plan to say anything else to Sanni, but if Sanni is going to bitch further it'll be in that thread.  I legit think she might be on drugs, of have some kind of mental bio-polar thing going on with her "lows" tending be much worse than her "highs".

From a member's perspective, I think banned is the only thing they can see on another's profile. Oh, and I've always thought Sanni was crazy, but I assume that she's going through something that tipped the scales somewhat.

Really? How so?  The only impression I got from her is she is very inquisitive. She is the type who keeps on asking “why” questions with every answer you provide her. I never thought she was doing it on purpose to be annoying. She just seems to be a curious person. However recently she has been acting strange. Perhaps Pretty is right about it being drugs and/or mental illness. Either way I hope she gets the help she needs bc it is not looking good at the rate she is going  

Well, I didn't mean crazy in a bad way necessarily. I was surprised to see a warning notification for her before reading on this specific situation.  If something is going on, hopefully she does get the help she needs either way though.
