Ok, while I would agree that it appears rather unprofessional to ask every female that comes upon the board to show their tits (although it is tradition and to be fair Serge used to regularly ask guys to show their dicks) the fact that sometimes, when the poster is also the product, it offers up a dilemna.

Any good salesperson knows thier product inside and out. In order to be able to sell the product effectively they must be familiar with all of the product's benefits and all of the products shortcomings.

When a person that runs their own site (in this biz usually sologirls but also could be guys) shows up on the board it is perfectly reasonable for those who are considering promoting them to ask to see the goods. It is equally important for that person to display their personality for the board to see because when we are promoting a solo site we are selling not only the looks but also the personality behind the looks.

If a model comes on looking for someone to represent them or shoot them, again, it is perfectly reasonable to expect them to show their stuff. How can you make a determination in any way at all as to whether you might want to rep them or use them as content if you don't know what they have to offer?

If a sponsor or sponsor rep comes on to the board, it is reasonable to expect them to explain and show their product to their potential salesforce, whether that product be paysites, hardgoods, software, whatever.

So, ladies, please keep showing what you have to offer. If you want it sold properly, we, your potential salesforce, must know clearly what the product is, what benefits are associated with the product and what shortfalls that our customers might encounter along the way are.

After all, we wouldn't want to rip off our customers (the surfers), now would we??
