Only When They Want...

I was a paid Platinum onemodleplace member for several years. I was listed as a publisher of which there were only about 175 in total. My company name included a .com at the end because we were a virtual publisher. After 3 and a half years they decided that the .com needed to be deleted off my main title. They said it was a company policy. All the watermarks on our pics had our web site name. Our profile text had our web site name. Our link was to our web site. I could not understand the logic at all. We were not an onemodleplace competitor either. So I told Brett that I would have to delete the account because he wouldn't allow me to be listed by my brand. The name without the .com was just a generic word.

After a few months went by I decided to do a search and low and behold I found more than a half dozen publishers and scores of photographers that used .com in their title. I blew gasket. Apparently their "company policy" is enforced only when they feel like it. Don't trust these fools one bit. They had it all and now it's slipping away. Good riddance!

**Note**
I hear this a lot; The inconsistent management and enforcement. If you stay on the good side, you are golden. But say anything negative, and they enforce whatever rule they made up that day. It has happened to me.

Thanks for sharing Performer.

OMP is the website from hell. It is completely un-navigable. Following the instructions on FAQ is impossible. They describe a "manage my profile" link which does not exist.

I just sent them a message on their email form asking to have my account deleted completely. We will see if they follow through.

Thank you for publishing you blog. I am glad to find someone else who hates OMP.
