<p>I agree ! I have JUST been denied today. I was furious, I had been contemplating for a while if I should make an account on there or not and when I decide I would try it out they reject me with the same unprofessional term of: </p>
<p><strong>"Your Model Mayhem profile has been denied!<br /></strong>However, all is not lost. You may attempt to re-submit your profile. But only do this after going over our <a href="../reqs.php">list of requirements</a>. It is your job to find out what is wrong. Please do not contact us regarding this matter, it will be ignored. Instead, read over all the requirements, change your profile, upload new photos and try again. You only get 2 retries and then your account will be closed. "</p>
<p>It's a good thing this topic has been brought up because I felt like poo until I started reading some of these comments as well as your situation, Josh.</p>
<p>It honestly pissed me off! I WANT to become a model. YES I am new at these things. But I am NOT stupid and am actually artistically inclined. I take myself very seriously and carryout a professional manner in everything I do. I am reliable and easy to direct. Modeling is not the only creative outlet I have and so, filling out all the friggen criteria that was needed did not make sense to why others with barely any content on their profiles have been accepted <em>or</em> still have a profile that exists although they haven't signed in since 2005 *rolling eyes*. For any model, photoshop wizard, photographer, MUA, or whatever the case may be I am sure we all agree so what if our first images submitted are amateur? Isn't the point of making an MM account to GAIN experience? and "Build up your portfolio" like the damn site even proclaims. </p>
<p>And to those who are defending the site... To each it's own but i'm sure if you were on the denied side of the film you would feel the same. PISSED OFF. CONFUSED. AND SHOCKED AT SUCKY WORK THAT HAS BEEN APPROVED. Because I was not accepted does not mean i'm going to talk a bunch of crap but really I know, that you know what ART really is.</p>
<p>And yes, MAJORITY of the photos on that website are NOT artistic... they are borderline and passed PORNOGRAPHIC. *gross and not tasteful at all* If you're going to have a nude model direct them creatively NOT sexually persuasive in PORNSTAR gear.</p>
