A model can indicate on her profile by clicking on the MM Form that she does "Erotic" and "Fetish" modeling, and does "Nude" modeling, but then the Mods exclude companies that actually pay models to shoot that style of content, which you would think is kind of the point of a board created specifically for the purpose of connecting models with photographers.

Add to that list Purestorm and pretty much any other modelling site out there. I now take it as a pure compliment that I can't get a profile anywhere.
On the plus side I do love sending out those DMCA notifications when I find my shots, uncredited with the logo chopped off in model profiles on the very sites that won't list me as a photographer. I may have burned my bridges with that one, but fuck them.
No one who shoots for a living wastes time "grooming" wannabee fashion models into doing porn, we just say what we do and wait for the apps to roll in - which they do. At the very worst we'd contact a few and just ask - this is what we do, this is what we pay, interested? All the model sites do is give the girls a distorted view of who has work and where there's money to be made. But then IF the girls actually made a living from working shooters a lot less of them would fuck about travelling all over the country for worthless TFCD shoots with amateurs.
