I'm a bit confused about model's posting rights and regulations. Since the early days of the forum when a few models began posting, management restricted their posting rights, by assigning them names such as "Broke So and So" or "Broke Straight Boys Whomever", and on their profiles there was no option to private message them. I believe it was one of my all time favorite models Mike Robbins who just popped onto the forum one day and both the members and management questioned if it was really him, as he had not gone through protocol and be assigned a Broke Straight Boys model posting name and have the restricted profile. Eventually it was determined that it was him, and he was given the proper posting profile.
Several months ago we had the situation where Damien Kyle was posting things that management did not approve of, mainly in regard to another Broke Straight Boys model, and he and his partner Paul Canon were both briefly banned from posting. After a minor uproar on the forum they were given their posting rights back, but I did notice that for them as well as other models with official names, like BSBTylerWhite and BSBRyanFields, their posts appeared on the boards on a delayed basis, showing that model posts needed to be approved before their comment hit the boards. This is still the case with Tyler and Ryan who appear to be the only models posting under their approved names.
But on February 12th, we saw JamesAndrews begin to post and on February 16th Vadim Black appeared on the forum, but without official names and with regular "member type" profiles, offering forumites the opportunity to exchange private messages with them. Initially when James did it, I thought that he had "jumped the gun" similarly to what Mike Robbins did years ago, and that management would correct their ways, but I am quite surprised that now twelve days later, James can still post without his comments being approved and with the same with Vadim Black, but both Tyler and Ryan's comments need to be approved and appear on the forum on a delayed basis.
I wonder if management has loosened it's restrictions on new model's posting or if there are other issues going on within the site and they are just not paying attention.
