Image Rules

Scope

These rules relate to image content uploaded to Model Insider in all aspects of the site. This includes, but is not limited to your online portfolio, contests or forum posts. These rules also apply to images linked for display, for example in the forum, even if they are not hosted on Model Insider.

Your Avatar

You may upload any otherwise-allowed image as your avatar. Please note, however, that the site reserves the right to limit your participation in activities on the front page if your avatar contains nudity. In other words, we may prevent non-members from seeing your avatar on the front page if there is nudity.

Image Rules

We have only a few rules for images. We've attempted to keep them as objective as possible, even though they represent our subjective decision on what we allow.

  1. Nothing illegal. This blanket rule covers all obscene material (as opposed to the legally-allowed indecent art) as well as anything that would be considered illegal such as underage pornography and other legally-prohibited material. We have a zero-tolerance policy on illegal material. It will be removed and the authorities notified.
  2. No sex or penetration. This rule is, in essence, our "no pornography" rule. Pornography is not allowed, but defining it is problematic, at best. As such, drawing the line at "no sex and no penetration" tends to cover 95% of the field. This includes not only clear sex acts, but also fingers, tongues, toys and pointed sticks. Oral sex is still sex and/or penetration as well.
  3. No reproductive or excretory substances. Again, an objective line for a subjective description. This means no "money shots" as well as no poo or pee play. If that's what you're into, hey, knock yourself out - we'd just prefer to keep that content off of our site.
  4. Nothing that we have to make a new rule about. This is the way that we let you know that we're not omniscient. Even though we have only three basic rules, above, we're quite sure that someone will, eventually, upload an image that makes us say, "Yeah, we need a rule for that." This rule means that when we make that rule, we will likely remove the photo in the process. Let's hope we rarely, if ever, have to invoke rule #4.
