suspended from purestorm

[spud_u_like]

I was banned a while back.

I did ask why and actually got a reply!

My ban was triggered by the word "with"... as in "photographer seeks models to work WITH, up to adult level."

This apparently, according to the PS mods, is definately indicative of b/g!

I challenged this, and got two more replies back from PS, with even more ludicrous reasons... totally random and clutching at straws.

Having read through the Purestorm T&C's it was clear I had not breached any of them, but the T&C's are obviously open to false interpretation by the mods.

Yes...It's all very strange...!!

Over the last month or so virtually Every time I write to a new model on Purestorm to either ask for levels, rates or offering tfp,...the next thing I know is that they are Suspended..??

I'm starting to think they are picking on Meeeee..!!..lol It's All very
strange.!!

Tony,
I have that problem as well.
Also most of the models i have tried to contact have not replied

Don't bother with Purestorm it soon will be a site no one goes on - Well soon a site of photographers looking for free shoots.

Just to say PS is more like BS every day - where do these guys think the money is made nowadays - posing artistically or posing erotically or engaging in b/g or not its the choice of the model tog to decide. Id be more than interested in seeing a purestorm type site set up for models and togs to contact each other and coverse like adults on subjects that adults wish to converse, if they are reading private emails between members then is that not a breach of law - they dont have the legal rights to read private emails afterall ?

Anyways met a few models through the site and did a few shoots with them and got some good material, usually for my own use and dont publish, mostly oral and facials and Im happy - supprising just the amount of models out there that would undertake such a shoot with the appropriate money being offered. Guess PS dont like the fact that thay are not in the monetry loop, or they are particularly stuck up with it as they are not having fun themselves, or maybe its because they like being twats themselves!

I was told by a moderator on PS that they cant read mails unless they are passed upwards by the member to whom they were sent
If that is the case there must be a lot of whistleblowers on the site "grassing" up other members - in fact tonight a photographer was complaining about a girl offering to do more - some people!!
I actually think it will get busier as girls see it as a way of paying off debts - but only if they do adult levels and most new entrants say funny things like:
"I dont do porn so dont ask"
one the other day said
"I dont do shots that show my nipples"
so how many will really make anything - not many?

The mods may not be able to read emails but the admins, owner any anyone who can access the server will be able too.

I personally would use a fuzzy-logic detection to match certain words and flag them for my attention. Like 'boy girl' closer than 4 words apart, adult, etc. My guess is they have the same.

Purestorm ? the owners of the site don?t like or do ?adult? photography or TFP adult shoots so believe everyone else should not do this sort of photography. That's their call!

I?ve always maintained that the problem is not with photographers or producers but the site itself. You can?t have categories, ?topless? and ?adult? because ?adult? will always imply more than topless. You will always get photographers who will ask a model what are her levels if she puts down adult. If you don?t want adult photography make the site and what it?s becoming a site of ?wanna be models? who will never any work because non-glamour modelling requires a certain type of catewalk girl.

My last word on purestorm because I lived without them for months and really don?t care about their site.
