Hi Members and Moderators. I have seen how nice the forum has been. What I was wondering and am kind of nervous/anxious to ask with respect. Is it true that the moderators are friends with the small group of people that are offensive or rude?And is that why their comments have been allowed. I guess I'm on my soapbox because I'm really excited that I may be able to use the site again without feeling bad about myself. I thought that perhaps if that perception exists, perhaps people choose not to flag?Love to hear from all.I think we need to do a massive clean up and remove anything that will put new people signing up or leave quickly or again and again.It's a business and it needs to be tidy and supportive. There shouldn't be any rude or bigoted comments. It's totally the wrong look.

EvansBetterHalfJun 4, 2013Moderators are only in the chat room. If there is a problem in the forums, it should be flagged and reported to Admin at abuse@truenudists.com. However, Admin does check the forums on a random basis.ReactReply - MEMemberOriginal PosterJun 4, 2013
Oh, that's no good. It explains a great deal. I don't use the chat room, it seemed to a little fragmented for me.

Frustrating thing is MOW you could teach people so damn much, but I guessing being rude is far easierReactReply

Isn't it ironic that the people who complain the most about the forums and post the rules are the ones who are the worst offenders on them? Discouraging people, insulting them, using the most profanity, trying to limit participants based on their own political or religious beliefs. It's the way of all fascists.

ManOfWicklowJun 7, 2013[quote]The concept of forum mods has been brought up for several years, without effect. Flagging is a poor substitute and is infamous for the instances of vendetta flagging, where posts are flagged solely because the flagger disagrees with them. A very small group of disruptors is notorious for it, and one even brags about it.
It's doubtful that mods will ever be appointed to the forums, but they have become playgrounds for children and are largely irrelevant anyway. Most of the one-time forum regulars have disappeared or stopped posting. There is little hope of the forums ever regaining even a shadow of their former worth.
Peace and blessings![/quote]Yes brah NIMA, it's a sad time when decent and respectful members of the community like yourself cannot enjoy the forums without these few obnoxious little social misfits spewing their garbage.ReactReply - KE

Now that's a lie. One that I would use to describe you and make it a truth. What is so unfortunate is that you take one individual's point of view and then generalize it, like you spoke for a majority. Every "progressive" or liberal is a fool to you, and you call them so.

Yup, still spiralling downward and off topic.

Is it worth it to so often state the obvious?
ReactReply - MAManOfWicklowJun 8, 2013[quote]It looks as if spoon is a happy camper as long as everyone agrees with his point of view, but let someone have an opinion that differs from his and all hell breaks loose. And God forbid that someone proves him wrong.[/quote]
Yes indeed, Gassy, AND because he is wrong 99% of the time, his frustration causes him to vent such anger against all decent respectable members of society. Sadly a world so distant and beyond his comprehension.
The one good thing is,since I decided to stop reading any posts from the few intolerable trolls on here, I find the forum far more pleasing than ever before. As soon as I see who the post is from, I just skip to the next one, thus saving a lot of time to concentrate on the genuine ones.ReactReply - MEMemberOriginal PosterJun 8, 2013MOW please skip my forum posts.ReactReply

It would be an egregious error to count yourself among the "decent and respectable" people of this world, MOW. You seem to express your anger quite well, at the level that you are capable of - weak insults, vulgarity, and then you throw in a couple of cat photos.

Ah, like you accusing me of bestiality, right? That's pretty kinky, even for you. Can you try ignoring we a little harder. You are doing a shitty job of it.
