The difference, as I'm told, is this: OCC fears legal action regarding material from pay sites (which is usually crappy in quality compared to real professional photography), while it is unfearful of true professional photographers, who do not have retained legal counsel. At least one mod on this site contradicts the stated policy by saying true professional photography (well-lit and artful) can stay, but material even suspected to come from paysites, as poor quality it may be, routinely goes. And what goes with it is anything that looks like the crappy photography that comes from pay sites. I'm surprised that "darkeyedredhead" doesn't get deleted, since her husband's photography is way better than the average pay site bounce-flash crap.
Moderation on this site is very uneven - one mod is a "pro-pic nazi", and never sees a watermark, while another one sniffs out mostly watermarked pics (which this site is rife with) and leaves the "imagined" pro pics alone (thank you). I've given up posting pictures because of the uneven-ness of the moderation.
