Subscriber Guide

Everything you need to create your account, manage your BAD membership, subscribe to creators, use My BAD, view galleries, unlock content, and manage your subscriber experience.

1. Create Your Account

A BAD account is required for personalized subscriber features, creator subscriptions, protected content, and account-specific gallery access.

  1. Open the BAD registration page.
  2. Enter the information requested on the registration form.
  3. Complete any membership selection shown during registration.
  4. Complete account verification when requested.
  5. Sign in using the account you created.
Use an email address you control. Password resets, membership notices, account messages, and other important communications may be sent to that address.

2. Sign In

Use the BAD Sign In page whenever you return. Some subscriber features only appear while you are signed in.

If You Cannot Sign In

  • Confirm that you are using the correct username or email.
  • Check that your password was entered correctly.
  • Use password recovery rather than creating another account.
  • Check spam or junk folders for password-reset messages.
  • After resetting your password, sign in again before returning to protected content.

3. BAD Membership

Your BAD membership controls your primary site membership. Creator subscriptions and individual gallery unlocks can be separate from that membership.

Use the Membership & Subscription Plans page to review the membership options currently offered by BAD.

Type Purpose
BAD Membership Controls your main site membership and eligible membership areas.
Creator Subscription Connects your account to an individual creator’s subscription offering.
Gallery Unlock Grants your account access to an individual protected gallery when applicable.

4. Find Creators

Visit the BAD Creator Directory to discover creator profiles.

A creator profile can include:

  • Creator stage name.
  • Profile and promotional imagery.
  • Creator information.
  • Subscription controls.
  • Creator posts.
  • Free and protected galleries.

Select a creator to open their individual BAD profile and see the content currently available from that creator.

5. Creator Subscriptions

Creator subscriptions are separate from merely visiting a creator profile. When a creator offers a subscription, the creator page will display the applicable subscription control and current terms.

  1. Sign in to your BAD account.
  2. Open the creator’s profile.
  3. Review the subscription information shown for that creator.
  4. Use the subscribe control if you want to proceed.
  5. Confirm the subscription becomes active on your account.

Active creator subscriptions appear in My BAD.

6. Using My BAD

My BAD is your BAD member library.

It contains two primary areas:

Creator Subscriptions

This section shows creator subscriptions currently associated with your account. You can use it to return directly to creators you actively subscribe to.

Unlocked Galleries

This section shows individual galleries that your account has unlocked. Selecting an unlocked gallery returns you to that gallery.

My BAD is account-specific. If something you previously unlocked is missing, first confirm that you signed in with the same BAD account used when you obtained access.

7. Galleries

Creators can publish galleries with different access requirements. A gallery listing or preview does not necessarily mean the full gallery has been unlocked.

Free Galleries

Free galleries do not require an individual gallery purchase, subject to any overall BAD account or membership requirements.

Protected Galleries

A protected gallery may show a preview while restricting access to the complete gallery until its displayed access requirement is met.

8. Unlocking Paid Galleries

  1. Sign in to the BAD account that should receive gallery access.
  2. Open the gallery.
  3. Review the displayed price and access information.
  4. Complete the on-screen unlock process.
  5. Return to the gallery after the transaction completes.
  6. Check My BAD to confirm the gallery appears under Unlocked Galleries.
Do not immediately buy the same gallery again if access looks delayed. Refresh the page and check My BAD first.

9. Photo Likes

Where photo likes are available, a signed-in member can like an individual gallery photo.

BAD limits each member account to one like per photo.

If the page does not immediately reflect your like, refresh the page before clicking the control repeatedly.

10. Account Management

Use My Account for your main BAD account information.

Use Membership Transactions when you need to review available membership transaction information.

Keep Your Account Current

  • Keep your email address current.
  • Keep your password secure.
  • Use one primary BAD account rather than creating duplicates.
  • Review membership information before changing plans.
  • Use the same account when subscribing to creators or unlocking galleries.

11. Account Security

  • Use a unique password for BAD.
  • Do not share your BAD login credentials.
  • Protect the email account connected to BAD.
  • Sign out after using a shared computer.
  • Do not send your password in support messages.
  • Do not send complete payment-card information through messages.
  • Review unexpected account activity promptly.

12. Troubleshooting

A Gallery I Unlocked Still Looks Locked

  1. Confirm that you are signed in.
  2. Confirm that you are using the correct BAD account.
  3. Refresh the gallery page.
  4. Open My BAD and check Unlocked Galleries.
  5. Sign out and sign back in if the access state still appears outdated.
  6. Do not purchase the same gallery again until the first transaction is checked.

My Creator Subscription Is Missing

Open My BAD and check the Creator Subscriptions section. If necessary, return to the creator’s public profile to review the current subscription state.

I Did Not Receive an Account Email

  • Check spam and junk folders.
  • Confirm the email address connected to your BAD account.
  • Avoid repeatedly requesting the same password-reset email.

The Page Appears Out of Date

Refresh the page. If necessary, use a full browser refresh before repeating a purchase, subscription, or account action.
