When doing that 'yes/no' thing, the principles I've tried to apply are ...
1) Obviously, to abide by Chainer's rules ... sometimes, when I've been impatient, I've clicked 'yes' on a pic before it's fully scrolled-down as part of the loading process, and noticed too late that it's watermarked. So apologies for that ...
2) Bearing the above in mind, I've tried to keep my own preferences out of it, and not judge an individual pic simply on the basis of whether I personally like it or not. (I've okayed some pics which feature HORRIBLE implants, for example.)
3) The main grounds on which I'd reject a pic are: (a) if it's a routine glamour/cheesecake/T&A pretty-girl pic without a significant degree of visible muscle, (b) if it shows a heavy-duty bodybuilder with an obvious manifestation of Guy Face, (c) if it's the wrong side of the line between 'teen' and 'KID' or (d) if the woman in question is, despite clearly being a bodybuilder, so heavily-clad that the muscle is only implied.
Be interested to know what criteria others apply when 'guest modding' ... or whether your decisions are purely subjective.
Yeah, good research and info ... and I agree. She obviously wants to leave that part of her life behind, so it's not very cool of some web site to link the porn part to the bodybuilding part like that (unless she consented to it, which sounds pretty unlikely).
On the whole though? I don't know if I buy 100% into her claims either, that the porn industry is full of only unhappy people who have to resort to drugs or alcohol to numb the pain of what they're doing. Sure, that CAN be the case. But I've known people who worked as exotic dancers for years (not a whole lot different really -- and lots of crossover between those two careers), AND a couple women who did amateur porns at least a few times. I think some of them would tell a very different story.
It's like a lot of things... If you wind up doing it simply because your life is miserable and it's the only obvious avenue left to earn the kind of money you need to get out of your financial hole? You're probably NOT going to enjoy it much. On the other hand, some women simply realize they're very physically attractive and start thinking, "Hey... If so many guys are always staring at me and trying to get me to strip naked for them anyway? I should make some cash out of this, before I get too old to do it anymore!" I knew one stripper, for example, who was working at McDonalds before that. She simply realized that "Hey, why flip burgers when I can dance at night instead and make WAY more money, tax-free?" She was comfortable with her body and it was just something to do while she was going through school.
But yeah, the atmosphere you're putting yourself in when you do any of this stuff is generally a "Let's party and get crazy!" one, which encourages alcohol or drug use. You have to be able to say "No thanks...." and pass on that stuff when it's waved in your face, and some people can't do that.
When you upload pics which r already on the side, your pics wont get accepted, so no worry. 1st: Image(s) in the waiting queue, 2nd:moderators accept or don't accept, or you upload your pic(s) in the popular queue, there your pics need more than 70% yes votes (I think 70) to get accepted. Whe you post them in the forum, you're on the safe side.
I have a lot of pics going back years. Having just discovered the GWM site, should I upload some of them to the site, or post them on the forums? Is there some kind of procedure for uploading and vetting images? And how do I find out if they're already on the site somewhere - I don't always have the names of models.
Personally, I wouldn't ask her for a flexing photo. If you're friends with her on facebook, she might find a request like that a little creepy and "unfriend" you. Just enjoy the photos that she's posted. Your call though.
When you see these girls in the pictures smiling almost like they are happy having their clothes off and being exposed like this – it is the biggest lie of all. I have never met a single girl who was happy to be doing that job. Contrary to popular belief these girls don’t make a lot money doing this and they end up broken inside and left with no self-confidence or feelings of self worth. Many of them turn to drugs and alcohol to help numb the pain. . . . I finally got the courage to stop and change my life when I hit the bottom. I was in debt, I was completely emotionally broken and on the verge of being an alcoholic which is something that scared me because my father is a raging alcoholic and I didn’t want to end up like that. I quit everything and told myself that I had to push through no matter what. I didn’t want to continue my life the way it was, but I didn’t want to give up living either. When you know that you have to make a major shift in your life it is always terrifying and that’s why many people get stuck in the darkness, because they feel safe in the familiar even if that reality is killing them slowly. So I quit and that was years ago. I have absolutely nothing to do with it anymore and I am not profiting from it in any way. I have a dream about doing something to help stop the cycle of exploitation that feeds on these young girls and destroys their lives.
That's a picture from one of Zuzana's recent exercise videos, being used on an "official Susana Spears blog". I imagine it's being used without her consent, on a website possible run by the same people she tried so hard to get away from.
Anyway, getting to the point of my post, it seems that Zuzana has had a painful past life and is trying to leave that life behind her. She's got a fantastic body, and deserves to be posted to GWM. But I'd suggest retagging the photos with the name she chooses to go by now - Zuzana Light.
What say you?
Phew, long first post from me! Thanks for listening!
Many thanks for your answer, Chainer. I also want to ask about this pic, in order to have a clear feel of what your site is about, and be able to contribute to it more efficiently.
It is not a contest photo, and it is private, not taken from any pay site. Please see link.
First of all, my apology for posting this pic twice in this forum. I didn't discover this thread until just a minute ago. Second, please accept my applause for creating this thread for the purpose of transparency.
I really don't know for sure whether I should ask about this pic here, as I placed it on the popular voting queue instead of the staff queue. However, the last time I checked, it was getting all "Yes" vote, so I wonder whether it was rejected due to the staff's decision. If it was not the case, please disregard my question; http://forum.girlswithmuscle.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=2298.0;attach=4695;image
Your pictures you can't currently delete (though you can ask the site staff to do so for you and we will be happy to), but I could be persuaded to allow members to delete their own pictures.

She does not gives photo to unkown people, how I should ask her for it? ;)
I've been browsing this site for a while now, and registered yesterday to comment on this photo
Then I did a bit of googling, and realised that Zuzana is actually Susana Spears. I was blown away! Wow!
I then read this interview, where Zuzana talks about her history in porn: http://www.bodyrock.tv/2011/01/04/my-interview/
In particular these bits:
That made me pretty sad, and seeing this made me mad:

I'm guessing this one might have been rejected because of:
No contest pictures or pictures with extremely dark, fake tans.
Thanks. The reason I posted it here is because it was rejected.
It is not a contest photo, and it is private, not taken from any pay site. Please see link.

It is possible, though, that one of the mods recognized it as being from a paysite and deleted it for that reason.
