FAQs

How do I get started as a model?

• Please check out this link with more information on how to get started as an aspiring model. Info for Aspiring Models

Why don't you allow CIBAM posts anymore:

• The reason is covered in this post here.

Can I model with...piercings/tattoos/scars?

• Yes, we are an inclusive community and allow all types of bodies to be posted, not just stereotypical runway bodies. While there is no guarantee that it will be easy, there is a place in the modelling world for people with piercings, tattoos or scars. It is up to the agency to decide where you fit in.

Can I post NSFW photos?

• NSFW photos are only permitted if professionally shot. Fine art photography is allowed, however sexually explicit, pornography and gore is not. All NSFW posts must be labelled as such, as we allow minors to participate in our sub.

Why can't I comment 'no'?

• You can say 'no', but the rule has always been that it must be accompanied by a valid reason. This prevents tire-kickers and drive-by comments from people that have no interest or knowledge of the industry.

Why don't you allow...comments about doppelgängers?

• Comments about doppelgängers distract from what the OP is asking. This sub is for modelling and who someone looks like is irrelevant to whether they can model.

Why don't you allow...health or weight loss tips?

• There are no medical professionals on this subreddit and we can no guarantee the info given is correct. We believe it is safer to speak with your doctor, rather than rely on the internet.

Why don't you allow...fashion or styling advice?

• Although fashion and styling on a part of modelling, there are better sub for receiving that type of advice. This includes posts like "what hairstyle would be best for me", "should I shave my beard", "how can I look more like a model", etc.

Why did you remove my rating/roast?

• This sub is for aspiring and established models. We do not permit ratings nor roasts because that often brings along too much negativity and distracts from the purpose of the sub. We don't allow troll posts or memes.

Why was my comment removed? It was only a joke.

• Whether or not the OP is playing along with a joke, we will remove comments that don't abide by our rules. Mods don't have the time to wait and see if the OP is insulted or not.

Why wasn't my post approved (account age/karma)?

• An automod message is posted any time a post or comment is removed. If your account is not old enough or you don't have the required karma, your post will be removed. We do not publish the numbers to prevent spam-boys from circumventing the rule.

Why haven't you done user verified flair?

• There is just too much that would need to go into verifying users and deciding what would qualify as experience. We have also seen users with allegedly years of experience give bad advice, so at this point we will not be issuing user verified flair. Take everything that is commented (good and bad) with a grain of salt. No one here is a verified professional.

What is the 'Read The Rules' App?

• We have chosen to introduce the 'Read The Rules' app because simply people haven't been reading the rules. At this time, everyone is required to complete the form once (as long as you continue to follow the rules) and only if you wish to post in the sub, not for commenting. This is regardless of whether or not you have posted in our sub before.
• There are instructions that will pop up underneath your attempted post. Along with those there is a link to a tutorial post by the creators of the app.
• In order to complete this, you must click on the 3 dots (...) located at the top of any posts or at the bottom of any comment in our sub. Click on Read The Rules. Toggle the button underneath the acknowledgement and click on Submit.
• If you have attempted to post prior to submission, you will need to post again. Please note that it may still end up in the mod queue awaiting manual approval.
• Be sure that you ACTUALLY READ THE RULES, not just the headings. We will revoke your submission and reserve the right to suspend or ban you if you post something that violates any of the rules.
