WOW! Woke up this morning to find out I have been banned from Skinbook after being contacted to join their site last year. The Moderator Cheri Alexander didn't like the way my avatar picture I have been using since joining the site in 2008 was cropping off the top of my cowboy hat; same photo as I use on here. Said it was a headless photo??? Tried to explain it wasn't headless but she was havening none of what I was trying to explain so I reluctantly changed my photo to reply with her request. Today I find out I can't logon as I have been banned !!! ??? Great PR / Customer Service, keep up the good work and their site is sure to keep growing...

    the site does crop heads off and cheri tells you pic was rejected due to being headless. i had the same thing happen. they are in denial about the site creating headless pics.

    I quit the site when the admins' posts started being all about what they didn't like and didn't want. The complaining got really tiresome. I hope they find their utopia and leave the rest of us alone.

    I will leave my comments to myself concerning SB.  But, wow, I just posted a headless photo here of my new tattoos.  Do you all think I should change it?

    Please do answer my question.

    Thanks,
    Louis

Most people have more than one part to complete a set of genitals, although they will of course never all be visible in a photo. In a female, the genitals include the vulva, clitoris, ovaries, uterine tubes, uterus, and vagina. In the male, the genitals include the penis, scrotum, testes, epididymides, deferent ducts, seminal vesicles, prostate, and bulbourethral glands.

    This is interesting.  I just went to SB and uploaded 3 separate pics of my new tattoos.  They are close ups of each arm (with me wearing a T-shirt) and one of the Artist at the time he was inking me.  I got a message stating that I should contact the Admins concerning the pics.  I backtracked and deleted them instead, then contacted them.  Curious to see what they say.

    [quote]The groups they deleted are groups that exist on this site....first they (or might I say, she) deleted the People without Taboos group ("community not for alternate lifestyles"). The second group she deleted was the Racism beat it! group, just when positive reactions started coming in (mmmmm.....makes you wonder...not implying anything....) That's what made me delete my account![/quote]    Hmm, interesting, especially in a community where all are free to be themselves.  I'll keep everyone posted on what, if any repercussions I get from my comments to them.

    Problem solved.  The admin deleted the pic and I was not banned.  I only speak in truth and from the heart.

    I was banned and could never get anyone to tell me why.  I finally sent cheri a message on this site and she responded that it COULD be because of this or it COULD be because of that.....  I realize that it's their site and they can ban anyone they want, it just would have been nice if they had told me what I had done.

    I was just asked to remove a large number of pics at Skinbook, pics that have been there since last year. I responded by removing all of my pics there except for my profile pic. That should save them a ton of bandwidth. I also posted a blog explaining my actions and sent a similar explanation to 295 of the people on my friends list there. From what I am hearing, I may be next to be banned from Skinbook andI DON'T CARE.Aside from the fact that I don't get as many comments on my pics here as I used to get, True Nudists is hands down the best nudist site I've found. Who needs those loud and noisy things on the ning network?
