I have not noticed any change apart from the health warnings etc, i do a lot of content share through the site with various girls & photographers & they have been fine with me.
Most people contact me through my website on my GF profile, so that way it by passes the mail section of the site & don't go against their rules.
Paul knows that we help a lot of the new amateurs on there helping them set up sites etc as well as there profile on GF & Adult Work, deleting your profiles does seem extreme just for asking to do content share.

Kim I sent you a message on there asking about content share.
Thats why I was barred for three days !!
When I complained and pointed out you have content share on your profile(or did as you seem to have removed it now)
All I got back was a crappy answer pointing out that content shares are not allowed and are not a proper way to message a model.

i thought it was a bit extreme that a glamour site now didn't allow nipples in the main profile picture anymore and changed it themselves.
reading your mail is out of order- especially if they have a botton to report unsuitable advances. it's not treating you as an adult with we are in a very adult profession

Is there an alternative though?
I got booted from purestorm and net-model and neither will let me back it seems.
At least GF is free and touch wood I have had no problems with them so far.
It is a bit disturbing to think they might read your mail but I guess they could argue that they are trying to cut time wasting.
As for AIR, it's a great site and I really enjoy using it.
Net-profile is quite a good site too if anyone is interested in having a look.
I wouldn't mind hearing about other sites like that because I am finding it fairly trickey finding models near me that suit what I want to produce.
I hope you are all ok, take care.
Matt.

Hi Kim,
Glad you're still pleased with your GlamourFinder page, but having cut out references to one particular type of work and to anyone who "promotes models" (no, this is not anywhere in their rules, as they admit - they just did it anyway), they'll soon be cutting out swinging and party references, just as they're starting to ban discussion of content share work, which surely is one of your main ongoing interests.
Meanwhile they are reading ALL your outgoing mail, using its contents to search around on the internet to find out what else you're doing, with the likelihood of suspending you without notice if they see something ON ANOTHER SITE which they disapprove of, and barring selected incoming mail from ever reaching you, suspending the sender for using a single wrong word or for "subverting the site".
This simply means that without your knowledge, GlamourFinder makes you look dodgy through no fault of your own, and that people will stop contacting you, since they can't know what they are allowed to mention without getting suspended, or will get suspended without your ever having heard from them.
Excellent "improvements" indeed

Until reading this I thought as an amateur Glamourfinder was now the best site around. As I posted elsewhere recently Be-seen-here and Models Club no longer seem attractive to models so the profiles are fewer and often outdated. I look at the profiles and forums at AIR but since it is for professional producers and models only it is out-of-bounds for me to join to be able to contact models or post enquires on the forums. In any case many models with profiles on Glamourfinder are not on AIR.
I have been chucked off Purestorm even though, as on all my profiles and enquiries, the level is to solo open leg / toys only. I lost one net-model profile and after a while created another but have kept it very tame.
I don't have an issue with Glamourfinder restricting the main-profile picture to page 3 level since it can be seen by anybody without logging in and to avoid spam I would have thought no-body would want their email address on their profile page anyway.
However I certainly do think members should be able to exchange email addresses and mobile phone numbers in private messages and that Glamourfinder Admin should not routinely read all messages but only investigate if there is a complaint or if a user is sending/receiving an excessive number of messages. I think it would be reasonable for them not to have their messaging system bogged down by being used for general messaging / chat or the discussion of 'other services' not permitted / detailed on profiles.
Also what business is it of Glamourfinder if anybody has profiles / accounts on other sites or forums.
However this is not unique, I recently tried to join a forum totally unrelated to anything adult but was not approved and banned for ever for also being a member of sex sites, I can only guess they found either my net-model (hardly a sex site) or vintage-erotica profile or that I posted here but how? I would like to know, also why even they are bothered what other forums I am a member of. I will try again in a while with a totally different user name and email account.
If both parties are happy with content share / TFP etc I totally fail to understand why Glamourfinder should have a problem with that.
If a photographer / producer sent out a batch of identical emails about content share / TFP and included models whose profile stated paid work only fair enough to issue a a warning, the same to me as an amateur if I contacted a model whose profile stated they only worked with professionals.
