General Discussion

Just a question..

This is a reported repost, but while the original pics were bigger and in HQ, this new post seems to be alot brighter in the images. Still delete or not? And also if to be deleted, should I message Sanja I deleted their post, and just a friendly reminder to make sure to check before they post, or just go ahead and delete it without a PM? I ask because IDK how many times Sanja reposts, I think not often

^ I would delete it because the older ones are noticeably bigger and has a less annoying tag.

Sanja has been careless recently with being mindful of the rules She has been reposting and starting threads that already exist. I already spoke to her about the latter and she has acknowledged it. Kat, in addition to deleting the post could you also send Sanja a gentle reminder about checking at least 5 pages prior to posting?

...I much prefer someone starting a thread and at least trying to establish that thread first if there are readily available pictures at the time. 

I do see your point there. I think sometimes people start threads b/c they want to be the first to "discover" the model but they are too lazy to seek out additional pictures. They prefer if other people did it

Got this PM earlier today:

I could have sworn there was a rule somewhere about how old a model had to be, to have a thread here?

She's 13,
I know that a lot of models start young, but 13 seems a bit...odd.
Just checking to see if it's allowed or not.

Joe has brought up this topic before and MD said "If it were a model then it would be fine to put it into whatever male or female thread the person was trying to be." I also remember a long time ago it was agreed 13 is the minimum age for threads since that is the minimum age someone needs to be to join BZ. I do think O_I has a good point that 13 seems a bit young. I was thinking we could maybe up the age to 14, 15 or 16? I know Barbabra's thread was started when she was about 14 or 15.

What do you guys think?

^Hmm I'd say no to raising it...just because alot of models actually start around that age. I think the rule of no younger than 13 is good. IMO

^  I still stand by my original thoughts. So what that she is 13, she is doing legitimate modeling work so she is a model, the 13 yr old limit seems reasonable due to our own age limit and like others have said a lot of models started around those ages. 

In principle, I agree with Ophelia but realistically, I think our hands are tied. So many runway models seem to start their careers at precisely that age.

So I know it was mentioned that there are strict rules about posting Playboy images, if even posting them at all...

Lebron posted Amanda Booth's newest playboy cover, should it be removed or put spoiler tags around it or? 

^ I think if he textlinked the images (so technically they are not [embedded] on our site) and not post the word "Playboy", we might be able to get away with it. That's what I did when Kate Moss was in Playboy and as far as I know we didn't get flagged

^So how would I go about editing this besides textlinking the image? Just like an image link and nothing else? IDK how to say its Playboy, without saying its Playboy  

^ You don't but you could imply it. Kinda like this: http://www.bellazon.com/main/topic/3584-kate-moss/?p=3317307

^Okay I took care of it, thank you!  

Any progress towards being able to change our profile info? I still can't change my videos, and I've had a couple people complaining about it and I'm not sure what to tell them.

^ I still can't update my Profile Page either Hopefully MD is back soon to fix it. I have been telling members we are in the process of getting the issue resolved. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience

Got this PM:

Hey Pink!

I wanted to ask if I could make a thread for FashionDream. Since she is a very nice member here and has made some great contribution to the site too.

Based on the personal thread guidelines we have set:

- Been registered for more than a year

- Makes more than 5 posts a day

- I don't think she has been suspended or received any [major] infractions in the last 6 months.

She has asked me in the past to start a thread for her but I told her she can't request a personal thread for herself. Someone has to nominate her and it is based on majority staff vote.

She seems like a decent and friendly member who meets our guidelines so I vote yes

What do the rest of you think?

^Yes for me too (Y)

No objections.

Put me down as a yes. (Y)

+1

Put me down as a yes. (Y)

Same here
