As any one been suffering with the way purestorm has been behaving? They seem to cancel your menberships, left, right and center.
Any one know if after you account gets suspended if it gets reinstated.

they wouldnt reinstate mine and i hadnt done anything wrong at all, in fact hadnt been on there longer than a month so was really shocked to be honest.
also didnt reply to several emails from me asking for some sort of explanation there was a very lengthy thread on here from some other about purestorm.
hope that helps

"Got suspended yesterday but they said they would look into reinstating me."
That's what they said to me about 3 months ago. They will never reinstate you! Don't bother with them and when they start to loose loads of memberships they will change their crazy policy.
As for new girls joing up..... yes, you can get the odd gem but a lot of them are girls who think it's a great idea to become a model (as the surf the net dreaming) but don't want to put any effort into becoming one.

I got kicked off there too for doing a post in the adult section of the forum looking for models who was willing to work up to hardcore b/g about three months ago
They relied to my e-mails saying they would look in to it and get back to me
Still waiting, nightmare site

The guy who runs it iain I think his name is, is torn between the 'regular' posters and 'crowd pullers', the adult side pulls the people in, but the regular posters keep it ticking over.
Its also a part time project for him that he does in his spare time, so not really management is it ?
I think pure storm needs to make that same decision that OneModelPlace, Be-Seen-Here and ModelMayhem had to make, and that is Choose a Genre and deal with the consequences of that.
ModelMayhem went very much upper middleself lads mag/commercial stuff, omp went very much fashion, mainstream glam and pay to play with adult, be-seen-here went glam-porn, each has had to deal with the kick backs, where as purestorm and net-model are both struggling with their ID, but net-model is going very much the 'hobbyiest' and glamour market, and doing pretty well in that sense, where as PS is wanting the best of both worlds and being torn apart.
I feel for the guys behind these sites (i'm one of them) its hard making decisions that slice your appeal and market into little pieces.

Obviously they are very anti B/G - says so in the forum rules
But on the plus I have found some shoots already from it - today saw a girl advertising for glamour shoots and by 5pm she had agreed to do her first ever toys vid!
I started by asking what her levels are and 3 messages later came the agreement.
Think it helps to get a full email address to avoid the message system as there are things they dont want discussed "on-site"
Net model is similar but far too many 15 yr olds with camera phones
at least PS has some form of quality control - at the moment to shoot US Mag/Solo both sites work well

For me it?s the inconsistency of the rules; hardcore G/G is OK but anything that involves a guy is not. I find that strange and a sort of reverse discrimination. Either you allow hardcore all types or none.

"They should scrap the "adult" option in models profiles, have figure nude as the max then we'd all know where we stood."
I agree... adult is a too broad a category and can mean solo toys, g/g and b/g and anything else in between.
Because the term adult was not classified on the site, until the new rules, you were bound to get producers asking models if they did b/g work.
