Ok thanks for giving me a place to express my rant!
I had an OMP account! I paid 200 buck a year to be a Platinum member, and this allowed me to upload larger photos, and to have more than the 5 for the base membership.
Well I noticed that when I was uploading images, OMP was resizing them to a base membership. (that just makes the photos look like complete dog shit) Not very good for a portfolio!
So I did what anyone else would have done. I wrote to support.
3 days later... Nothing.
So I wrote to them again. A couple of more days go by and I write AGAIN! Now after almost 2 weeks, I am starting to get a bit PISSY. So I write another email to support. But this one was rather nasty; I threaten to cancel my membership.
Still no response! None at all! Not even a threat made them JUMP! So I figured the squeaky wheel gets the grease! So I sent like 20 emails to support in a time frame of about 10 mins! That was on a Saturday. That following Monday I received an email from a model and asked if I knew that my account appeared to be gone! I had no idea what she was talking about.
So I went online to look for myself, and I saw "we are sorry the member you are looking for does not exist" or something like that.
Again, I wrote Support and asked what was going one with my account. This is what I got back:
I see the issue,
It appears that you violated omp policies on spamming.
We cannot allow you back on omp.
Please do not return to omp
Brett
They deleted my account! To say the least I was shocked. I wrote several email to Mr. Brett, but got nothing back in return. So I went to Paypal to try and get my money back, but as it turns out you cant make a claim on a membership based site, because its not a shipped good. Paypay sent me a copy of the user agreement for paypal, and there is no claims venue on memberships, you have to take it up with the membership site!
To me it looks like a really good scam OMP has going on, take your money and then delete our account and keep the money.
Also during the "tried" paypal dispute process, Brett made claims that I had Violated OMP user terms and services. I have read over the User Terms 10 times, and have never found where I violated anything. Since when is emailing to support a VIOLATION!
So as of right now this is my new favorite site!! I am going to tell everyone I know about it.
I urge all users of OMP to try other model portfolios sites that offer the same thing if not better:
Musecube.com
Newfaces.com
Modelmayhem.com
Modelplace.com
onetalentsource.com
There are lost of other options!
John, have you ever thought about opening up a Class action law suite for unfair businesses practices?!?!
And to Brett, if you're reading this FUCK OFF!! Your site design hasn't changed in 3 years!

I feel for you Alex! Almost the exact same thing happened to me! But I do think they have changed their site some what, but the over all main theme remains the same.
