What you guys and gals need to be aware of is that the purestorm team have a number of fake profiles set up just to catch people out. Yes they probably do read PMs but they couldn't possibly read every PM sent every day, so what they do is set up false model profiles (usually but not always with adult ticked), this allows them to see who is contacting models offering what. If a profile looks like it may be iffy then leave alone. I know for fact they do this as one of the moderaters told me. This was done as the result of a suggestion by the member bob, the one who is there 24/7 with an opinion on everything, the anonymous moderater.
There is a thread there in models general chat just now that was started by Lauren Langley asking a serious question about rates which has run now to around 50 pages (yip, 50 f...ing pages), the replies have had nothing to do with answering Laurens question and it`s basically 50 pages from a handful of people all slagging off others. There is a Ukrainian model who has been ganged up on and had some disgusting abuse thrown at her and ok she isnt the prettiest picture on the wall but she don`t deserve what is being thrown at her, it is cowardly and nasty by keyboard warriors who have nothing better to do and get a buzz from it. Thing is, others have been suspended and booted off for much much less. So is one rule for some members there and another rules for everyone else, if you're part of the gang you can get away with anything. JaneWeiss has been so bad on so many various threads, as has Kris, but do either get booted, do they hell and never will.
I am a member on purestorm but am just very careful, never ever have psoted ever on a forum and am careful what models I get in touch to. Just use the site to get in touch with models and nothing else, stay out of the politics, avoid the playground, keep head down. The site is badly run but it does seem to been fast growing when other sites are dying or died and there some pretty good models there if you can spot the wood amongst the trees.
