Only VIP Members Can Put Out A 'Wanting To Get Paid' Casting Call...Is This True?

Do you think that free members not being able to post paid castings should also not have the option of Being Paid on their profiles? Just a thought that crossed my mind.

They can still seek paid work but it via Direct messaging rather than use of the casting call system.

I think that would be a very bad change.

As a photographer, I want to be able to find models, including models that charge.

NigeNw Bad idea, one of a class of bad ideas that replace the ability to search for what is declared with the requirement to make individual enquiries.

That's in the general area of combinatorial explosions and why a common protocol* with many users is better than many pairs of bilateral protocols.

* Most often seen in computer stuff, but definitely applies to markets.

I am sorry but you have lost me - I really don't understand what you are saying.

1. Don't change this.

2. Don't Brexit.

3. Prefer Open Source software.

I would happily pay for membership if I had other payment options other than just online ones, I have been a victim of fraud in the past and do not trust or do online payments. 

I am so sick of judgemental people calling those with free accounts cheap.  I did a support ticket to ask if I could pay via cheque or bank transfer and was told I couldn't.  I also tried doing an offer where I discount my rates in exchange for the membership (with the £36 fee and 25% off my rates been discounted) but I just kept getting messed about.   

I am a paid member on others sites as they allowed me to make alternative payments, I feel I have done everything I can to buy a membership. 

Don't get me wrong I am still getting some work through this site, but I got a lot more when I could do castings.  £36 for a year is a complete bargain and worth every penny, but not enough for me to risk paying via methods that I don't feel safe using.
