  I wouldnt mind one additional option for locking media: All but private profiles to be between Public and Friends only. As for the demands for certification and nude pics... it is alway the single guys calling for this. Add this and you will be alone on the site. If it werent for the lockdowns we would be at our local resort this weekend rather than inventing new ways to make our deck more private (photography backdrop stands with cheap canvas dropcloths seem to be working great, btw). We know plenty of nudists in real life already (Including from this site), so leaving this site would be no big loss.

  I don't interact with private profiles for the same reasons that I don't, as a gay man, care to interact with closeted gays:

  I don't want to be the custodian of other people's secrets.
  I don't want to deal with their fears, real or not.
  I don't want to step into what is evidently a marginal part of someone's life.
  I don't feel supported in being open about a part of my life by someone who's not doing the same.

  A private profile may be part of somebody's journey, and I can't judge that. What I can do is recognize that it's not worth my time and energy to interact.

  [quote]It's a vexed topic. I tend to switch my privacy settings on or off from time to time - it all depends on whether I'm getting too many random friend requests from blank accounts. I agree with a couple of the posters so far - the OP needs to clarify whether their beef is with PRIVATE profiles, or BLANK profiles? Some comment sreferring to private profiles make reference to not having any information or photos in their profile - if these were PRIVATE profiles, they couldn't see the profile regardless? Whilst some people have no issue with "baring all" online, and demand everyone else do the same - I wonder how they'd feel about standing on their local nude beach, with 10,000 people hiding in the dunes watching them? Because that's what is happening online! I have full nude pics, with face, on my profile. However, I have the privacy settings set to "Certified Friends Only". Certification is super easy - and is the best way I can see to sort out the TRUE nudists from the creepers. I don't take issue with private profiles - everyone has their reasons. I usually send a friend request just to see what's behind the veil. Quite often they are certified, fully complete profiles - other times they aren't. As my photos are set to Certified only - I haven't enabled a lurker with a private profile, as they won't find what they are looking for anyway. What I'd like to see a third profile privacy setting, similar to picture settings - viewable by certified members only. Basically, a PRIVATE profile to all but certified members! People who join just for a lurk will soon find that all they're mostly seeing are the other blank or fake profiles of other lurkers, or those like the OP who are happy to bare all to everyone - as is their right too! Ultimately, it's all about $. The website owners just want hits - and the easiest way to get them is to encourage as many blank profile voyeurs they can![/quote] If media is the main concern, there is a solution that does not require a change. Non-certified members only have access to the first 6 media items on a profile. Fill them with pictures that you don't care who sees, and put any others elsewhere.

  Are you willing to pay the salaries of those who will lose their jobs and be blacklisted because of posting full nude photos on the internet? Are you willing to come to a school and explain to administration why children who find such photos and then exchange them and post them all over the internet should just be ignored? Are you willing to come and speak to the parents who are outraged that someone trusted to teach their children is engaging in such society unaccepted behavior?
  
  There is much more to people then just some nude photos on the internet yet so many here have no ability to engage in any kind of chat and only seem to be interested in photos. Endless photos of naked people are boring to real nudists. Some kind of meaningful chat is not.
  
  It is so sad that so many here (not necessarily you) seem to demand all kinds of photos and yet when someone attempts to chat with them, they have absolutely nothing to say.
  
  One of the nastiest abusers in the chat room is both certified and with nude photos. Being certified and also posting nude photos does not make a person a real nudist or even a nice person. That comes from within and is a direct reflection of a person's true character which should be of paramount importance rather then posting a bunch of nude photos for gawkers to stare at.

  The private option is important for those who may risk losing their jobs if pics of them get out.

Laying in the sun sounds nice. Laying in the sun with legs wide spread is not a natural position. Having your picture taken whilst laying in the sun with legs wide spread with your genitals front and center and the focus of the picture is what you call "natural pose nothing bad about it"? You have outed yourself as a pervert and solidified my original point.

  The topic is controversial to some to me its why are there private profiles on this web site? They constantly go to your profile and view all your photos, leave no likes or comments of any kind. You are blocked to any details of the person/persons. Hey if your a nudist what have you to hide.

  There are many factors that have been stated, some over and over. The private options has good uses for it but like anything else, it's abused. I can understand and see that not everyone has the liberty of been themselves for various reasons. How many parents would be happy to find out that their children is been taught by a teacher that post nude pictures. Or the doctor you are seen is posting nude pics. Both are nudists but our society doesn't accept that as an 'acceptable' activity. We as nudist are to hold ourselves accountable for the image we present. I've talked to some who have said they know about nudist but it's all sex. We know we are not, but then do we stop those that are presenting nudism as sex (chat room cams??? ) What do we do, most do nothing, but that is for another post. Private profiles have it's place and I accept that. I took the common sense to change the setting on my pics to different setting, public, friends and certified friends. Total nudes are not for the most part viewable by public. I leave that for mostly certified friends. So private profiles users don't see my nudes. Yes those that do private profiles could do the same but still they are worried about been found out. Now I've accepted private profile FR only find out they have one pic, and it's not even a nude pic. I then de-friend them and send a message that I don't consider then to be nudist without a nudist self pic and it has to be more than two. It's my choice to set that so at least there is less possibility of them faking it with one nude pic taking from the interest. It so happen that I found a pic on a nude search I was doing for a project/ That pic looked way to close to a certified friend I have on here. Yes he had copied a pic from the interent claiming it was him (the pic was on several web sites), so even certified members can still fake their pic on here as there is no requirement to post certification pics. So for that reason, I like to see more than two nude pics or I've seen them on cam in chat. To get rid of the private option would eliminate individuals that can't freely show they nudist for good reason, just because we have an issue we think we have with them. If it's about you don't care to have your pics viewed by individuals you can't view theirs, well learn to live with it or change the setting on your pics or send a short message wishing them well in their journey in nudism and hopefully they will be able to be as open as we are in the future so you can view their nudism. In a lot of cases I receive a friend request in reply with a short note stating why they can't. Some have become to be nice friends. Be accepting.... now go enjoy your nudism! :)

  Sorry, but as military officers we WILL lose our careers and MAY face legal prosecution for Conduct Unbecoming Officers and Behavior Counter to Good Order and Discipline in pictures of us nude went public. Do we like being nude? Yes. Will we risk being nude on the beach in these days of Cel phone cameras... yes if not near any military bases. But will we risk pics with faces only even secure between us and Admin in these days of poor internet security? Hell no. Even if we swap pics or cam here or in Skype or wherever you WONT be seeing our faces. If that unacceptable dont friend us.
