Thank Goodness for BGAFD

Just a warning to another producers, togs, and models. On the 31st Jan a certain model website (starting with P...... and ending with storm) rewrote their forum rules to disallow any mention of b/g work.

I was banned today from the site for a post made way back in Nov 07. It could happen to you! Even if it's an old post!

Personally, not sure why they want to censor post in this way.... Thank god for BGAFD.

wow,
what a bastard. I wasnt aware that this level of modelling is out of bounds on the site. I have to say I never thought this site was for that level modelling to be honest. But surely people cant just change rules like that without warning at least.

Anyone this happens to should complain, this is not on.

They do have a specific forum for adult work as well.

"They do have a specific forum for adult work as well."

Yes...but new rules in the adult forum only to g/g no b/g

[xpoppyxx]

i thought u cud advertise b/g too just not pov b/g

Net-Model have gone the same way too, no hardcore over there there. They are gradually enforcing the rules but still its heading that way.

There are certain rules that nearly everyone follows in a forum. Nothing illegal!

My problem is that I don?t think they have thought out their rules.

Yes, they want to protect female models who do not want to shoot gonzo/POV styles shoots with guys who just want to get their ?rocks off?. All good!

However, this style is a valid commercial style if released to the general public on some format such as web, DVD. Models should retain the right to choose to accept and reject this type of work. So they have a form of censorship!

What makes their position stranger is that you still can advertise for female models performing sexual acts on other female models. So you not only have some form of censorship but have a form of discrimination. Discrimination being any sexual acts between girls and boys (I assume then boy on boy is OK?)

Personally forums, like *********, then to decide on it being either non-adult (eg, up to art nude) or adult being that there are sexual acts performed.

It's their forum, they can do what they like.

There's probably a story behind it that has lead to them deciding that some types of work are creating too many problems.

If you combine adult and non adult, and only a few people send the wrong emails to the wrong people, complaints happen, and owner decides "sod it".

Think theres more to this than they want us to know. PS is *mostly* the freebie crowd, and them guys don't like having people around who actually do things proper and pay models. They want models posing for them for free and so it's not good for them when the real boys are there offering models paid work and models can make good money straight from the blocks. So they want to get rid of as many of those who pay models as they possibly can and lets face it most paid work is at higher levels because the lower levels real work goes through real out there agencies.

It's funny though they use the g/g and b/g term on there to mean just standing next to each other or maybe the odd fake kiss and cuddle. A real agency would laugh because if a client wanted that they would expect all models to do it and it wouldn't come under a g/g heading.

Everyone should register for PS then upgrade to paid status and then do a chargeback.
