ModelMayhem.com Capital Punishment for Questionioning Site Administration El Segundo, California Internet
I was thinking about using ModelMayhem.com to further my modeling career. Then I saw an expose of the dark inner workings on the MM site (report 1200293) and wasn’t so sure any more.
I decided to carry out a little experiment. I opened up a model profile using my personal email as "Torri Tomboy". Many photographers promptly messaged me wanting to shoot. One wanted to do "POV".
Then I posted a discussion thread in the ‘Site Related Forum" titled, "Beneath the Surface". I pasted in the text of review #1200293 and asked that there be an open discussion regarding the truth of what was said.
Brian Diaz, one of the "Admins", actually posted to the thread with a self-serving oh-poo-poo response. I threw in an additional (true) detail that I had been introduced to a SF Bay area moderator named Alan who had bragged openly he could make people disappear off the site. After being told such moderator behavior was unacceptable I gave Alan’s MM ID to the admin in a private message.
Three days later, the funniest thing happened. My MM account was terminated!
This is much like the people in Russia who criticize Putin and get sent to Siberia or are accidentally murdered a week later. As far as I know, Alan is still moderator, though I also know he was recently forced to close his studio.
Models! Don’t go near this site!
