I just filed a report on here because Valeria Figallo ripped me off, and she has leverage from working on websites for the moderators! They're of absolutely no help at all, even (it seems like since I've been waiting for 4 days for a response now) the moderators with good reputations! I'm on probation for a week because I "outed" this girl. All I said was this:
"Scammed by MM Member for Website Design:
I have been working on getting a website made, worked out a deal with a member on here for a website to be built for me. A price was agreed upon as was a completion date and I sent a 50% deposit. The due date is well past, the website was not completed, the designer will not return my emails, and she will not refund my money. I cannot post any more information or the moderators will delete my post. Feel free to send me a message and I would be happy to give you all of the information on what happened. Thank you for your time!"
This post abides by all of their many rules, including but not limited to:
(5) No outing/libel: While we would like MM to be used as a resource to warn others of problem companies, people, etc. There are always two sides to a story. So we have to prohibit any side from being told. This is for our protection and yours as well. We don't want to have to deal with a libel lawsuit.
(7) MEMBER DISPUTES: You are solely responsible for your interactions with other members. ModelMayhem.com reserves the right, but has no obligation, to monitor disputes between you and other Members. Basically, be nice and if you get into a quarrel... take care of it on your own.
Wow, so basically we can post POSITIVE experiences, but not negative ones on there. That's extremely lame.

Not only is it an immature and un-moderated mess, it is downright, slanderous, racist, biased and lastly, DANGEROUS.
The site is primarily comprised of individuals CLAIMING to be photographers with offers of well paid careers to nieve and inexperienced women. In Miami last year, 5 models were raped by an ex-Miami cop who used ModelMayhem to find victims.
Even as a member who reports this to the supposed "staff" (i.e. self appointed pompous and un-educated members) it will not only be ignored, you will mostl likely be banned, harrasssed and even threatented.
The supposed models are no different. Many of them simply prostitue themselves. Many are mere escorts using the site as another source to find clients.
The people on modelmayhem are merely wannabes with ulterior motives. I HIGHLY advise not being on modelmayhem, or you too will either have your reputation and or life ruined nto to mention, your health.
