Duplicate portfolios are not permitted on OneModelPlace. When a duplicate(s) are discovered, any / all portfolios of the same model, photographer or other entity are “Pended” and the participants are notified until the Administrators decide which portfolio(s) will be deleted. Occasionally, the Administrator will directly e-mail the model/photographer/other for input into which profile will be kept in the database. Continuously uploading duplicate portfolios can lead to ALL profiles, of that individual, being deleted and not being allowed to post any future portfolios.
Please read the OMP be-zine every few days, we update it on a daily basis, this is where you can find all the new site information, and a free casting call… How are showcase images chosen? This is the great mystery of the universe…. When one of the sysops audit the uploaded images, and we see an image we like, we add it to the showcase section of the site… this is how it works. If a model and a photographer have the same image (happened a lot) and we choose an image we like. We don´t necessarily know who the image belongs to or who uploaded it. Then the model/photographer uploads the same image, it will not receive credit. There is no way to assign the “showcase” tag to 2 of the same image. This is just how the system works. AGAIN the image we see first gets the SHOWCASE. (If you email me and complain, I will delete all your showcase images) take the ones that you get and quit complaining (emailing me). Repetitive Postings Please avoid uploading the same image, doing so can result in all your images being banned from displaying on the front page or in search results. (your profile will be put on probation) Adult / Pay Site Removal We have removed most of the adult / pay website links on OMP. If you find a member linking to a pay/adult site please email OMP and we will remove the link. “Support / FAQ” This is where you go to find the answers to your questions. Read the FAQ before you email the staff on OMP, please dig through the FAQ section to see if we answered your questions. If you still have a question, then fire away and fill out the “contact us” form at the bottom of the site. Posting Guidelines
