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...

    Ask her yourself. She is a member here. I think she is true to the life style.

    [quote]Cheri is cool. I believe her hands were tied.[/quote]    Thank you.   It's scary over there now.  I went back using a pseudonym and a photo from my vow renewal a few years back and have looked in at things.   The problem I now have is that the photos...some are worse than here, and they have returned to active status some who were definitely less than genuine nudists.   My last hurrah there was leaving after I directed folk here amont other sites and leaving my content.  I won't be back there no matter what.

    I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one banned with absolutely no notice.  I also am getting no replies to my requests for information about why I was suspended and what I can do to remedy the situation.  Autocratic mess it seems.

    [quote]I left Skinbook due to hassle from Ms Cheri Donna regarding my pics, they were not pornographic, I was not erect....her problem seemed to be with the "Painting" style enhancements.....the word petty springs to mind & from her previous post she really does liken herself to a police officer....lol....2 words.....lighten up for god's sake. I say this in anger as I have just applied to another ning site & find that I recieve an email asking me if my profile pic is a "painting" or photo.....from guess who.....yep that's right Ms Cheri & therefore my application is still pending. Those of my friends here on TN know my style of photographs well but I am going to make them visible to everyone & just as a matter of interest would like to know if anyone else can see what the "problem" is! Thankyou. David[/quote]     David,  The rules of that new Ning site to which you just applied states, "My Account Will Only Be Approved If I Upload A Clear Face Profile Picture Of Myself."  I am not that site owner and just following his guidelnes.  You agreed to that, you failed to follow the rules, therefore, you are being questioned by the site owner, not me.

    [quote]Thanks for your reply but I feel that my face is perfectly visible on the picture.....or it was at time of uploading....if it has been cropped in some way that it is no longer then please accept my apologies Cheri. However you did not state this reason in your email......you simply asked if it was a painting or photo & as I say I have had previous correspondence with you about this. David.[/quote]    The site owner requests a photo not a painting. That's why I querried.   Since here you have said it was a painting, not in so many words, they denied entrance there.  It's not me asking, it was me as a messenger from the site owner.

    i recently read on skinbook that there was a power struggle between the admins at skinbook and one admin was more or less abusing his powers and did things like ban people for no apperent reason other than they had the ppower to do so. this led to the others to have to readmit large numbers of members who had been banned unneccessarily.

    Don't fell bad, I got banned from her yahoo group in 2000. The reason being is on my yahoo profile I promote living organ donations. This is the email she sent me:
    This is a "G" rated Naturist/Nudist Club.  I don't
    care what
    your sexual preference is. It's not my cup
    of tea, but it's your
    choice, I don't want to read
    about it.

    I
    would appreciate it if those of you who have
    what may be
    considered an alternate lifestyle or
    preference to change your
    profile if you want to
    remain a member of this Yahoo Club.

    Your cooperation is appreciated.
    Thanks much, Cheri

    Naturist Yahoo Club Founder
    Her email deeply offended me, I wrote her back and never recieved and answer or apology. I am proud to be a living organ donor, and would do it again if I had had another kidney to give.

    Just noticed this on Skin Book ..... [url=http://www.truenudists.com/profile/admin][color=#004879]Skinbook Admin[/color][/url][color=#004879]on March 6, 2010 at 9:45pm[/color]Since getting shut of ex-admins "Dan & Vicky" a few people have come forward to state cases for their friends who they feel were unfairly banned by these particular administrators. Having since read some of the correspondence sent out by Dan & Vicky over the past few months it seems they were banning people left right and centre for all kinds of stupid reasons - and being unduly aggressive in their approach. Sadly we entrusted them to act maturely and treat their admin role with impartiality, so had never felt the need to check-up on them until now - sadly, too little too late it would appear. If any of you have friends who you (or they) feel were banned unfairly by Dan & Vicky please state your case below and we'll look into it. Thank you.

I'd like to think one so knowledgeable about the world would know that there is NOTHING sexual about organ donations. Maybe she was having a bad day, saw the word "organ" and jumped to the wrong conclusion. It happens to the best of us.

    Beachcomber,  I was banned a while back with no notice or chance to correct any issues that they may have had.  My account only had one pic which was my profile pic.  It is the same pic I have on here.  I would post from time to time if I had something to contribute that hadn't already been said by a previous poster.  I had a few people send me friend requests but I never sent any out so I know there wasn't a harassment issue.  I tried to contact admin several times but I got no response.  The email address the account was under is kender1978@yahoo.  Please help me out if you can.

    Thanks

    [quote](snip) It can now be said that the troublesome control freak mods (a couple called Dan & Vicky) have been banned from the site. Another admin called Andrew from Byron Bay who used to get his kicks insulting other members, including me, for disagreeing with his stance was deposed from his position after using explicit language whilst dealing with their poor ethics of being admins. (snip) What the nudist movement needs is somebody like Richard Branson or Ted Turner who have a good nose for business and know how to get it to sell to the mainstream. [/quote] ==  FYI - Andrew resigned while I was still there.

    The trouble with Skinbook is factions.  They are even so devious as to try to spread their propaganda here.  The current owners of Skinbook are fully to blame for the decline of the site, particularly one opportunist from the southeast.  Events suggest that the megalomaniacs who still run it saw it as a nice little earner.  All of a sudden it was open-season on all the members' personal data as less-than-kosher promo outlooks were courted.Suddenly body-elitism was the order of the dayas the perfect sexy picture of nudity was priority in merchandising the site.  Single people were removed so that the ad-men saw a fabricated picture of couples stripping in a pseuso-sexual landscape.  Happily the move was short-lived and it never worked!   However the damage was done and the in-fighting began.  Firstly these reprobates tried to blame their misjudgment and mistreatment of honest members on Cheri, who I am given to understand had LEFT the network long before all this happened. Then they tried to frame one of their number, Dan & Vicky, for all their own actions.  (Come on guys, don't fight among yourselves, the real enemy is out there and still running Skinbook!)  It seems their sycophantic acolytes are still trying to spread the lies here on True Nudists.  But it all still suggests that Skinbook is, in an a different way, just as dangerous to nudism as is Nudist Space.  As the motives are to exploit naturism, anyone who continues to support it must be of the same mindset and surely cannot be trusted. ....at least till the ownership changes!  Skinbook used to be the bestand safestnaturist network on the web.  How do we get those lovely girls from Manchester to come back and restore it to its former glory?  Hugz, Will

    Don't worry about it. Skinbook is being banned, as all nude websites, on NING network. NING was/is a major social networking host. As of Aug 20, no nudes allowed on NING. Enjoy TN and other networks are becoming available. Be Nude. Be Happy.

    As you say Ning has closed all nudity on its site for reasons they will not discuss but it would appear that Skinbook was not the culprit. They will be moving to Grou.ps soon.
    Skinbook like Truenudists has its problems but both have the oportunity to cater for nudists. Skinbook is taking a harder line on 'sex' and will attract a more mainstream nudist while we here, will, if we are not carefull attract those with looser morals and slowly follow Space.
    It is up to all of us to help.
