Ok thanks for giving me a place to express my rant!
I had an onemodleplace 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, onemodleplace 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 onemodleplace .
Please do not return to onemodleplace
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 onemodleplace 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 onemodleplace 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 onemodleplace 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.
