#2 Rules Explanations:


A) Post just 1 Model ID Request per thread
This means if you have a gallery or an image with 2 or more girls you like to know, you have to start a separate thread for each girl - except the request is about twins. Even if it's a bit more work for you, you save us much time and help us to stay on track with the established workflow of announcing solved IDs with the thread title.

The problem is not having 2 or more final names in a title, the problem is having one or more still unsolved IDs in a thread which is partially solved. This would make it hard to differ between solved and unsolved requests and it's always a bit chaotic when people start discussing over multiple unknowns in one thread - the focus gets lost soon. Beside, taking care of such threads would take much more time.
B) Post not more than 1 request thread per day
This means that you can't flood this section with all your requests at once. Be fair to other members requests, you are not the only one who wants to know a model name.
C) Don't bump your own or other members request
This means that this section wants to keep the focus on new requests and new content for existing/unsolved requests. Finding short replies, thanks or beauty-judgements is NOT HELPFUL to solve a request. So please avoid it. Instead, you always can PM a member or add a visitor message on his profile page to address nice comments for his request or his attempt to help solving a request.

Furthermore you can simply click the button to give credit.

If you don't get response on your request, do not bump it! If you don't get a response, it simply says: "We don't know" in most cases. And you don't have to be afraid that your request gets lost if it's a really nice one. After a period of time, an unsolved request will be moved to the well observed Mystery Box.

Keep in mind that any try to just bring a request back on top will be removed - same issue with double posted requests.

Here are some examples of unwanted Posts:

Quote:
Anybody know?
Quote:
i am also very curious for her ID!
Quote:
Sorry, I can't identify her.
Quote:
bump Im still hoping
Quote:
she's gorgeous!!!!!!
These examples are unwanted if it's the only type of words you like to add. If you add them with useful content (further images, hints to find the solution or the solution for an ID itself), nothing speaks against to post them.

Confirmation posts are allowed and appreciated in limited numbers especially from the request originators.
If you think an ID guess is correct/incorrect, confirmation/dispute opinions are allowed.

*If any member feels a request thread should be marked as solved and was simply overlooked by the Mods please make a new post to this affect within the request thread. This will bring the thread to the front page where more members will see it especially if there might be an objection. We appreciate the attention of the members and this will not be considered unnecessary bumping by us.
D) Don't ask for non-professional models (random amateurs)
We do realize in this internet age it may be difficult to distinguish a seemingly candid photo of some random girl from a known model in a similar pose. Use your best judgement but be aware the Moderators do reserve the right to remove any request or other post at their discretion without notice.
E) Do not hotlink images from exterior sites
Don't hotlink images from publisher or tgp websites. Also don't link directly to those websites, instead upload those images to an imagefile host like imagevenue or use anonymized URLs by adding http://anonym.to/ in front of your reference. Keep in mind that this website shouldn't be auto-detected by publisher websites.


Under no circumstances link to other forums, streaming content websites (except youtube), blogs or torrents or pages that require membership to reach its content.

Exceptions for forum links, and only allowed in model ID request section, are:
- Forum of EurobabeIndex
- Forum of egafd/bgafd
- AdultDVDTalk Forum
- DefineBabe Forum
- Freeones Forum
- PeachyForum
- Forum of Pierre Woodman (only allowed with "http://anonym.to/")

other Forum links are still not allowed.

Don't use a forum link as exclusive content of your request - you can add a forum link, but post the information in your request thread.
F) Post all Model ID Request in this section
We have set up the Model ID Request as a service to help you, so please use it. Our members aren't very pleased about finding ID questions in subscribed threads if they think their favorite thread was filled with new content.
G) Post preview pics when you request IDs, add references when you solve requests.
That means that you don't let the members you asked for help do all the work to research a gallery which depends to your request.

ID requests without pics are allowed, but only with a very good description of what you're looking for - approximate year, location (indoors, bedroom, lounge etc; outdoors, pool, beach, back-alley etc), hair and skin colours, how many people involved, what they were wearing, and set-up/plot for the scene/set if possible. A suggestion for a studio/photographer is helpful info, but only if you're reasonably confident.
ID requests with no pics will not be added to the Mystery Box.
Mods' decisions are final as to whether a request without pics is kept or trashed. (15JUN2022)

If you add a preview pic, always upload those images to allowed imagefile hosts like our own upload plugin, imagevenue or imagebam.
Use 200 x 200 thumbnails, but no larger.

Never hotlink animated gifs or HQ fullsize images in this section. Take care on other members bandwidth and if you want to use animated gifs, insert only the link to the image and mark them as animated gifs.

When you are able to solve a request, it would be more than just helpful if you add a reference to ID databases like iafd, egafd, ebi or bgafd.
If there is a VEF thread for the model, please add a link to it.

Only if a model is really well known and "easy to ID" it is ok when you just drop the name for the member who requests an ID. He will easily find more stuff by himself and we moderators aren't in need to find the proof in some of those cases anyways.

Also, if you are not absolutely sure with the ID you like to solve, make this visible with your post (like saying "maybe she is..." or "she reminds me of..").
*H) When you request an ID, please include all actual information you have. Sources, dates, type of model, and names.
If you don't know for sure, guesses on sources, dates, and type of model are welcome, but ID requesters should not post their guess of the name they think it is.
Requesters trying to lead us with your ID guesses causes various problems.

If the original requester starts with the correct guess, then no one gets any points, and the searchers are probably working for no reward.
So, try to make your requests so that the searchers working on your request have a better possibility of earning Hall Of Fame points.

Everyone beside the requester are welcome to post their ID guesses from the beginning, and try to earn the HOF points

ID requesters will not receive HOF points for guessing their own requests, so please don't post your guess in your original request post.

A few days after you make your original request, if no one guesses who you think it is, then post your ID guess.

If you are asking to compare A & B, this is okay, but keep in mind that points will not be awarded to anyone for the comparison work done.
I) Useless Comments And Thank You Posts
These are not allowed anywhere else at VEF, however Model I.D is a little different from the rest of the forum. Here a little chit-chat can be helpful in solving the requests so in this section only that rule is a little relaxed. But chat posts need to contain useful information that could help solve the request.
We will not accept short, pointless posts. Thank you posts are permitted.

Moderators reserve the right to decide what posts should be removed and remove them without warning or explanation. Continuing to regularly post in this way can result in an official warning being issued.

Think before you post, Does it help with solving the request?, is it useful information? If the answer is no then don't post it.
J) Thank the members that are helping you!
Click for every member who tried to help you - always use the button and never add your thanks with a post (if your post doesn't contain further useful information).


If you get a correct answer for your request, it would be a nice gesture if you post the content you requested in the proper section/thread.
If you have more content you are sure is her, post that in the model thread too.
If no model thread for the girl exists yet, you may start a thread, or MIR may move your request thread to the Pending Model Thread section, which will then become a new model thread.
We move the request thread to the correct model section if at least a small gallery ( > 10 images) was submitted.
Famous last words:
We really don't need members who are misusing the model id request service just for selfish reasons! It's a basic rule of our forum that it's a give and take. Disregarding this policy can lead to a direct and irreversible ban.
