How long does it take a new profile to be reviewed?

What does my profile need to be approved?

Why was my profile rejected?

Why can't I sign up with the right birth date?

GENERAL

I'm already a member, but now my profile is denied. Why?

How do I contact a moderator if I need help?

Why don't the http://FreshFaces2u.com/shortname URLs work anymore?

Help! I keep getting "you must be logged in" errors when I try to do anything!

YOUR INFO & SETTINGS

How do I change my name?

How do I change my password?

I want off this site! How do I make that happen?

How come "send mail" and "add friend" buttons don't show up on my page like they do on everyone else's?

Can I post links, images, HTML, (etc) on my page?

What is a "tag"?

I'm a makeup artist, so why does it say "Stylist"?

It depends on how much information you provide when you sign up originally. As long as your profile has been filled out completely and you have appropriate photos uploaded (please see "What does my profile need to be approved?" for more info), it ranges from a few days to a week, depending on how full the waiting queue is. Once your profile has been reviewed, the server will send you a notification (if you are an AOL user or have spam filters in place, please make sure freshfaces2u.com is in your approved sender white list). Even if your profile is denied for some reason, you will have unlimited opportunities to make adjustments to it for re-review.

Your "About Me" (Bio & Credits) section has to be completely filled out with things such as what you hope to get out of this site, what you're looking to do in the industry, any upcoming projects, longterm goals, types of work you are or aren't willing to do (TFP, paid assignments only, adult/erotica/nudity, travel out of state, etc). Without such basic information, you're likely to be contacted by many people you may not want to work with. Help keep unwanted contact to a minimum by answering these common questions preemptively within your profile text.

We're not looking for your life story. Keep in mind that this is a site for aspiring artisans -- your information should pertain to acting, modeling or the related field you signed up for. You can skip the extraneous details about your family, your hobbies, your pet iguana, etc. We're only looking for relevant details. Too much unrelated personal information makes your profile sound like a personal ad and increases its chances of being rejected.

You must also have at least four (4) different, separate photos uploaded. For photographers, these must be photos of human models. Photos of cars, animals, landscapes (etc) are considered out of place on Fresh Faces and will fare better on sites that focus on broader, general photography instead. Makeup artists, hair stylists, and wardrobe stylists must have photos specifically of their work. Unrelated personal snapshots are considered inappropriate.

(If you see an incomplete profile somewhere, please contact a moderator.)

Currently, we are only accepting members who are aspiring to enter into the entertainment industry such as: actress, model, dancer photographer, makeup artist, hair stylist or wardrobe stylist. Both your photos and "About Me" (Bio & Credits) section must reflect a sincere desire to pursue work in one of these areas. If your photos or information does not match the area you designated, or remain incomplete for more than a few days, your profile will be rejected.

We are not currently accepting web designers, managers/agents/referral services, modeling teams, contests or clothing companies as members.

Pornographic ("adult" or "X-rated") images are not allowed on this site, nor are links to hardcore porn sites. We certainly have nothing against those who chose to do adult work, but have decided not to allow this site to be used to network in that industry.

Profiles that violate copyrights are unacceptable. If you are found uploading photos that you do not hold the copyright to (or do not have explicit written permission from the copyright holder for), your profile will be immediately terminated.

And this should be self-evident, but...

If you are a photographer, do not upload photos that you did not take personally yourself. If you are a model, do not upload photos that you do not appear in. If you are a makeup artist, hair stylist or wardrobe stylist, do not upload photos in which you did not do the makeup, hair or wardrobe styling.

Fresh Faces requires members to be at least 18 years of age. If you can't sign up with your birth date, it's because we're not accepting members your age.

You were either violating one of the above criteria (incomplete profile, inadequate photos, or younger than 16) or you were verbally abusive/threatening to other members. You can also be banned from the site for spamming through the message system, tags, announcements, comments or forums.

Please send all comments, complaints, requests (etc) to our team of moderators using the "Contact" form.

At some point, the internal auto redirection stopped working. Tyler has been notified and we hope he is looking into it. In the meantime, please use the following type of link instead ("www" is optional):

http://www.FreshFaces2u.com/member.php?id=YOUR_ID_HERE

Fresh Faces saves a cookie to your hard drive to assist with things like keeping you logged in, setting your ID # on photo uploads, new private messages, etc. When your cookie becomes corrupt (which could happen if substantial changes are made to the website code, causing your local cookie to no longer match up with the newer ones that the site is handing out), you will experience problems with ANY OR ALL of the following: logging in, uploading photos, sending messages, leaving tags, posting to the forums (etc).

The only way to fix this is to COMPLETELY delete your browser's cache and cookies. New cookies will be made when they see they are no longer on your hard drive. One of these links may help with that:

IE & AOL | Firefox | More

We recommend the following steps:

Close all browser windows but one.

In that window, go to something non-FF related like Google.com.

Run whatever steps are linked above to delete cache/cookies.

Close your browser completely.

Reopen it and go to Fresh Faces.

Re-log in fresh.

If that doesn't work, and you do not use Firefox, you may want to consider it. It can be downloaded for free here. It has solved the problem for quite a few members who have had problems clearing their other browser's cache and cookies.

You can't actually change it yourself, but a moderator can do it for you. A lot of people sign up without realizing that their email address is their login name and the username they chose is actually just the name that will identify them throughout the site. Please use the "Contact" form to submit a name change request.

Go to My stuff, click on the Settings tab in the left-hand column and you should see a link to change your password.

The first step is to delete all of your photos and profile text. When you have finished, please use the "Contact" form to submit a removal request.

Your page actually does have these. They just don't show up for you because you can't perform those actions on yourself.

You may not use HTML, but you can format text and display images using limited BBCode.

[b] and [/b] produce bold text.

[i] and [/i] produce italicized text.

[u] and [/u] produce underlined text.

[img]http://YOUR_URL_HERE[/img] displays an image.

You cannot make text links on your profile page, but you can make them in forum posts.

A "tag" is basically just a comment left on someone's profile page. Use these to leave feedback on a person, to say "omghi2u", whatever you feel like. Except for spam. Spam people with tags and you will be kicked off the site.

By submitting images, URLs or text (the Submission) to Fresh Faces you are irrevocably representing that you have the rights to do so, and irrevocably, perpetually agree to indemnify Fresh Faces (including but not limited to its affiliates and officers) from any claims arising from the use of the Submission to promote Fresh Faces or its affiliates in any and all media known or unknown, as well as expressly agreeing to Fresh Faces use of the Submission for promotional purposes.

Fresh Faces will not sell your email address or solicit you in any way for services not provided by Fresh Faces or its affiliates. Fresh Faces will not utilize your Submission for any commercial purpose other than for direct or indirect promotion of Fresh Faces.

If you believe anything (like an image, video, URL or statement) is on Fresh Faces that shouldn't be, for any reason, please contact us so that we can remove it.

This legal section as well the rest of the rules and information on the site are subject to change. It is your responsibility to stay abreast of these changes by checking back on a regular basis. We do try to keep changes and sweeping policy adjustments to an absolute minimum though.
