  Good idea, Jen!
  The Mid-Atlantic Nudists already required approval for admission. New applicants will be required to be Certified True Nudists. That's not much to ask.

  [quote]This one is a BIG DUUHHHHHHH!  I'm embarassed I didn't think of it sooner.I'd like to recommend that any one who has created a group or is moderating a group with an absent owner, make membership by approval only (if it's not already) and make TN certification a requirement.  I've just done that with the Song Category Group.  And am working on the other groups I moderate as well.  Jen[/quote]   Sorry Jen, but am I missing something here, what would that achieve? I'm not aware of many instances of uncertified members, making illegal posts on groups. Agreed if certification was a requirement to make a NEW group, it might stop a few bad ones, but don't see how banning ordinary members from joining a group would help, other than to give them more incentive to get certified. It comes back to the argument of compulsory certification (which we've had, but I can't find it) I feel, that is discrimination (and is why I won't join the certified group) it would deny the legit few that have difficulty in getting certified, (Armed Forces etc) and put off, some would-be naturists, and that's going against TT's original intentions.

  I guess we'll have to agree to disagree this time, Phil. I think Jen has a great idea because it would eliminate phonies.

  Sorry Jen,
  As much as we all love you, I have to agree with Phil on this one. I will continue to help enforce the rules of Nude Photography and Graphics Group.
  Cuzz, rules is rules.

Cuzz, rules is rules.[/quote] Thanks, Mac....Phil and I have been going back and forth on this through messages.  He's given me a lot to think about.  I'm reconsidering my stance on this, but haven't done it yet.  While there are some good people (several I had to remove from the photog group) that are uncertified...I'm finding more and more that the biggest problems on this site come from the uncertified members.  Lot's I'm mulling over still.  And I do appreciate your continuing to support me on this within the photog group even though you disagree with me.  AND THAT, FOLKS, IS WHAT I LOVE ABOUT MOST OF THE PEOPLE WE'VE MET HERE...RESPECT AND A WILLINGNESS TO AGREE TO DISAGREE WITH NO HARD FEELINGS!!!  (yes, I'm shouting it for all the world to hear - well, the certified ones anyway, lol) Love you all! xoxoxo Jen

  This is an excellent example of the willingness of the people here to discuss different opinions without getting their fig leaf all wadded up. Respect, Courtesy and the willingness to dissagree in a civilized manner. This is how we hear all the different views on a subject and become informed on both sides of the fence. I am sure that a lot of people here, as well as myself, will benefit from this discussion because I for one have strong views on both sides of the argument.

  [quote]Fig leaf? FIG LEAF??? That's....that's....CLOTHING! AAUUGHHH!![/quote] You figured that out, did you? Adam and Eve told me about fig leaves but they said they itched. Maybe that's what led to the invention of fabric softener.

  [quote]That can be explained by the fact that in the Garden, the tree of knowledge was surrounded by poison ivy with leaves looking very much like fig leaves. A recently discovered manuscript indicates that a verse in Genesis had been edited. Gen 3:7  And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed leaves together, and made themselves aprons. But they knew not that the leaves were not of the fig tree but of the poison ivy bush. And they soon knew that they had made another rash decision.[/quote] ....and I might add that they have been making rash decisions ever since.
