General Discussion

Just curious, is there a new rule that in order for a thread to be started the full name of the model/celeb must be known? Someone told me one name threads are being deleted and there is suppose to be a rule that members could no longer start one name threads If so, we should add it to Bellazon Rules, Guidelines, and FAQ

^As far as I know, I think Pretty just deleted alot of Danni's topics because she created alot of one named threads, where in alot of cases with a bit of research, the models full name can be found. I think alot of Danni's reason for the one named topics was to stake a "claim" on the model as quickly as possible to take credit for discovering her.

I don't think it should be a rule, but rather something that we try to suggest when creating a thread. Because it is true that some models are actually going through agencies with just one name/hyphenated name.

So IMO I don't think it really needs to be a rule change, but something we strongly encourage members to do.

Got this PM from Dave:

Hola Pinky, I quickly wanted to get out the idea of nomination jj3 and RafSecret to have their own topics here in BZ. It's been sometimes since we had a new member make it onto such a honored list and the 2 members I just listed would make a great addition considering how much they contribute on content and discussion.

Hopefully you shall take some consideration on the people listed above Thank you.

I told him we can't have 2 personal threads start at the same time--they need to be at least 1-2 months apart b/c that's what the staff agreed on Also, with Raf we have had our suspicions about her trolling. Not sure is that still the case Either way I think jj3 should get a thread. 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 he has been suspended or received any [major] infractions in the last 6 months.

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

What do the rest of you think?

Thanks for your response and clarification I agree, I don't necessarily think there needs to be a rule but should be something strongly encouraged esp. when it comes to Danni, as she seems to be the main offender And like you said, some models are listed through their agencies with just one name/hyphenated name or just their last name initial

^I talk to Raf via PM alot, what were the suspicions about her? She seems to get along with everyone pretty well.

That being said jj3 has been around for alot longer, and has proved himself to be a very friendly member who gets along with everybody, so I would say him first  

^ It was suspected she might be dreamss. Again, not sure are we still suspicious?

^Hmm I see. I never talked to dreamss before so I can't be for sure Though wasn't dreamss african american? Raf has shared pics with me of her, and she is white, unless she is grabbing another girls pics

Yes to jj3. A very nice member who contributes much and I have yet to see bad behavior from.

I honestly don't know enough about Raf to give a worthwhile opinion, so I will go along with what the majority decides for her.

Since Soeniel has still not returned, I have reached out via email now. Since no reply came to my original private message.

JJ deserves a thread first imo. As for Raf, I'm still not sure about them, but they've been well behaved enough. If we give her a thread it needs to come after JJ's for sure.

Thats fine with me, I agree that a lot of agencies only have one name and it can take quite a bit of digging to find more info. 

Everyone, did an upgrade of the forum that fixes a few bugs. Let me know if you encounter strange issues. thanks.

^I love the new birthday info on the sidebar on the homepage now! Elimination of that blank space is nice  

OK so I notice that when I search for models names, a lot of girls aren't coming up in the search...

^ I just tried to search for Ginta's thread. The system came back with no results. I used the search words "Ginta" and "Lapina"---nothing. I had to use Google to locate the thread

^ Same thing happened for me.

Boss Man I love the side birthday addon! and the issue with certain people not being able to alter their About Me section seems fixed.

The search engine seems completely busted, not a single search is working for me.

Also: starting tomorrow I am away on a little trip, I likely won't be on much, if at all.

I should be back next weekend.

Did a search for Sarah Stephens, and Gen Morton came up as the result.

Some models are coming up fine, most are not though....also when searching within a thread, either no results are coming up (for work they have clearly done) or the results are scewed...

Some searches seem to be working better than others at the moment. Had no problems finding Monika Jagaciak this morning, but there was no sign of Eniko Mihalik.

The 'About Me' section is working fine now, though. Thanks MD!
