Find Model Insider all over the Social Web!

If you participate, Please Vote! You MAY vote even if you did not enter an image!

Do not post images owned by others. You may only enter work you are directly involved in (you must be the model, photographer, MUA/bodypainter, rigger, etc.). Winners may not be entered again unless specifically allowed (for example, a "winner of winner's competition"). If an entry doesn't win please wait 15 days before reentering it. This helps keep things fresh.

THIS CONTEST IS OPEN TO ALL. We do not limit images based on the gender or race of the subjects! We appreciate diversity in the entries. To qualify, you may enter one image per day and vote for one image per day. The system will not allow more than one entry or vote from a single profile. If we find one member entering images from multiple profiles the images will be deleted and that member will be suspended from the contest.

We also do not permit "vote stacking." If we find you requesting votes (via the forums, PMs, announcements, etc), you will be disqualified. Repeat offenses will get you suspended from the contest.

Basic Rules for All POTD Contests:

1- If two of the same image are entered on the same day then second entry will be deleted.

2- It is the image that is held to the 15 day rule not the submitter; all participants are held by the first person that submits the image.

3- An image that is entered cannot be resubmitted for 15 days even after an alteration to that image, I.E. a different crop, a change from color to B&W etc.

4- If an image wins in the contests it can never be resubmitted by either the original submitter or anyone else.

5- If an image wins in the contests it can never be resubmitted with any type of alterations to the image, I.E. a different crop, a change from color to B&W etc.

6- All POTD entries must have a model in the image.

RULES FOR THE 18+ POTD:

This is a nude image contest. Images must be rated 18+/M under the following criteria:

NUDITY

• For females: Nipples, including areola, showing.
• Men & women: Pubic area, with or without hair. The area that would normally be covered by bikini-style bottoms. Visible genitals or anus. Bare buttocks. Side views with shadows may be disqualified, the cleft between the buttocks must show. Spread shots (vaginal or anal) are allowed, within the bounds of good taste.
• Men: Erect penises are allowed.

STRONG SEXUAL SUGGESTION

• This is a subjective criteria, and very few images will qualify. No hardcore images are permitted, but some images that would otherwise be considered “implied” might be allowed under this category. A woman brandishing a dildo would fall in to this category. Please note, however, that the site's no-insertion policy applies. Here is an example of a winning image from another version of this contest that fits this category: http://www.slephoto.com/webpost/formm/PotD18/gallery_page.htm#PotD_10-19-07

BLOODWORK/GORE

• Horror images, suicide pics, girls in bathtubs of blood, etc. Blood/gore must be obvious and a major part of the image. A vampire with a tiny spot of blood at the corner of its mouth does not qualify, one tearing out someones throat d

Diptych/Triptych

• Multi-image collages ARE permitted SO LONG AS all the images in the group are clearly part of the same set or series and not disconnected or only vaguely thematically linked.

BONDAGE

• One (or more) of the people in the image must be visibly bound or restrained. The restraints may be rope, cuffs, a suspension rig, etc.

VIOLENCE TO ONESELF OR ANOTHER

• Images with implicit violence such as holding a weapon to ones own head or anothers head, holding someone and preparing to hit them, etc.

NOT ALLOWED

• Penetration. No images of anything penetrating the vagina or anus, including fingers. A hand on a penis or resting on labia are ok, inserting fingers is not. If it's implied but not in any way visible it's allowed.
• Oral/genital contact. Again, implied is OK (as in the image above) but clear contact is not allowed.
• Male ejaculation.
• Any illegal material.

NOT QUALIFIED FOR THE CONTEST

• Impliedg nudity where body parts as described above are totally obscured by shadows, hands, etc.
• Fetish fashion or fetish imagery without another qualifier. A latex dress doesn't count. Someone holding a riding crop, even if acting like they're about to hit someone else, doesn't count. Foot/shoe fetish, or other fetish without another qualifier.
• Someone simply holding a weapon.
• G-string shots. Shots of the buttocks with a g-string do not count unless the person is posed in such a way that the anus or genitals are visible.
• Very loosely implied activity. Someone sticking a hand in to his or her own pants or someone else's pants doesn't cut it.

These rules may be modified at any time. As separate contests are added these rules may be changed to prevent overlap.

All systems are currently operational and functioning. This initial status message is being created to help format future messages.

This status page will give you an indication of the availability and uptime of all sites in the Model Insider family of web properties, including any outstanding issues. As we further expand and integrate our sites, we will continue to add both automated as well as specific issue reporting to this page. Below the status indicators, you will find the development and issue blog, giving more detailed information about our sites and their performance and status.

At this time, all systems are up. No uptime, access or performance issues are currently reported.

Team Insider Operational Guidelines

The following guidelines are meant to outline the operational focus for Team Insider, the volunteer group responsible for helping site members and generally guiding the smooth interpersonal operation of Model Insider.

The TI thread in the forum is for recruitment of volunteers only. There will be no announcements posted in this thread for anything except the need for new members. For general banter and announcement of informal TI information, you may use the TI front-end group or create a new thread in the TI or General forum. Information pertaining to TI as an entity should be run past the current TI coordinator to ensure there is no confusion. If there is a need to get in touch with all TI members you can pm/email the members directly.

Please do not post answers to site questions, especially in the Site-Related forum, unless you know the answer is factual. If in doubt, let someone else answer or ask someone directly before posting your answer. Giving an incorrect answer to a new user is worse than no answer at all. If no answer is forthcoming from a TI member in short order, one of the MI developers will surely come along and answer (and then you will know for the next time).

Opinions are welcome and encouraged. One thing to show new members is that even TI members may have differing opinions and keep things civil. Especially when talking about site functionality, discussion and debate is good. Set the example.

From now on all new members must pass the board and have a job waiting, No single TI Member has the authority to add members to our group with the exceptions of Chris, James and Daniel. This is to prevent the TI group from growing huge with people who just want to have a badge next to their name. Part of the goal of Model Insider is to avoid the need for moderators, gatekeepers and other subjective decision-makers. TI members are seen not as moderators, but as helpers with experience and knowledge. Anyone volunteering for TI should have that experience or should want to learn before stepping up to help.

Chat Room Help Rules

The Chat Room Help will be the duty of the TI. It will be a personal touch that MI has that other sites do not. Chat room help is to be, in general, a one on one situation. Try to avoid having more than one person answering questions at a time, as a new user may become confused from multiple sources of information (even if the information is the same!). In times of heavy use, creating more than one help room is perfectly acceptable. As the site grows and evolves, it's our hope that the need for chat room help is diminished, or only necessary for the most complex features.

Team Insider Duties

Once the site starts getting regular chat use, one TI member should always be in the MI chat. This will encourage its use and keep the site on a more friendly and personal level. This can be as easy as keeping a chat window open while you're doing something else. If multiple TI members want to keep chat windows open even when no users are online, that's perfectly acceptable (though keep the nasty banter to a minimum so as to not scare off the newbies).

We will have set hours for the MI Help Room in the chat. This should be manned by people who are knowledgeable of how to navigate the site and they should be keeping themselves updated with things in Site related.

TI members will be in charge of the thread based contests, Keeping them moving and providing the graphics for the voting as well as vote tabulations and informing the winner.

TI members will leave a welcome on newbie’s walls, and comment on pictures they like. Please do not see this as a mandated requirement, however. Be sincere in your comments and do not comment just to leave something. New members should feel welcome, not patronized.

Contest Volunteer Duties

All Team Members meet with each other and compile info for the member of the week. At least one a week.

TI Chief Coordinator

Coordinates promoting contest, validates entrants and images, and compiles composites for voting, guides chief in their duties.

TI Coordinators

Helps Coordinator where needed, tracks new members and distributes the list among directors. Welcomes new members, encourage them to enter contests, comment on pics, and tag pages, and help out the Chief Coordinators wherever needed.

Here is where we will give a blurb on the quizzes!

MIChat is provided for you to connect with other members on Model Insider. It has many uses:

• Getting help with the site
• Trading Tips and Tricks
• Just hanging out and chatting
• Or anything else you would normally use a chat room for

Guidelines for the chat area:

• Don't be jerks
• The views and opinions expressed in chat are those of the users and do not necessarily represent the views and opinions of Model Insider.

We think that pretty much sums it up.

We Have A Winner!

We had some really stellar entries in this year's informal Halloween Photo Contest, and we're really pleased to be the only site that was actually offering to hand out cold, hard cash for the photos that rose to the top. The judges looked over the entries, and while there was quite a bit of diversity in their picks, one photo did gather the most consensus.

The photo to the left, by SnS Photo is our 2009 Halloween Photo Contest judges' choice winner!

"I chose this one because it just seems like he is going to come through the camera and drag me off somewhere.  Halloween to me is a time when things should be freaky and scary. A time to remind us that there are scary things in the world and sometimes it is better to run.  That image makes me want to run and find a safe place."

"I love the point of view from which it was shot and the use of one strong colour creates a memorable and effective result. Also, it captures the element of fun, which is often left out of horror-based photography."

SnS Photo wins the grand prize of a $100 pre-paid Visa gift card and a Model Insider T-shirt.

Members' Choice and Honorable Mentions

The members' choice winner was gpmcguire with the stylized image to the right. This image was a clear choice by the voting membership. Congratulations! GP wins a $50 pre-paid Visa gift card and a Model Insider T-shirt.

Five honorable mentions win Model Insider T-shirts. Megan Schutz, Engel Woodford, and Jessica Ann were the next three top members' choice vote-getters and will be receiving their shirts. Since there were multiple entries with the same vote count, a random drawing was done to determine the final two T-shirt winners. They are jwb imagery and Kari Vandenberg.

Great job, everyone!

Administrivia

Our next contest will be announced shortly, but we'll clue you in now so you can get started thinking about your entry. The theme, of course, will be The Holidays. We're going to leave it at that, and make the choice of genre or interpretation up to you. Go traditional or go insane - the choice is yours. And we have it on good authority that Santa Claus (or is that the Hannukah Fairy?) is going to be especially generous in the prizes this year.

For this contest, we also invited a guest judge - Tanya Simpson of RockstarVanity Photography. Tanya is a professional photographer specialising in alternative and subversive art.  As well her own work for private and commercial clients, she is a volunteer Gallery Moderator for the Horror Photography gallery at deviantART.com.  That involves supporting and encouraging other artists and helping to provide them with the resources they need to progress with their photography.  You can find her on dA at http://rockstarvanity.deviantart.com - thanks, Tanya!
