  [quote]I was blocked today, one of two or three of which I am aware. And my conundrum is that I have no idea why? Being blocked is another nudists way of, demonstratively saying, *you dont fit * and that is irksome. If someone defines themselves as way off either end of the ideological scale, makes no effort to participate and posted photos shows outlandish exhibitionist traits-myself and I suspect most others wont even bother to say *hello*. But if you appear to have things in common, from the same region and have even resided near their locale, a friendly note is not out of line. This morning *Nude* (not their real name) stopped by my profile. After I saw their visit, I viewed their profile and thought a quick *hello* would be in order. I started typing. I wrote a quick note, about 4 sentences, hit send and, to my astonishment, found I had been blocked. I didnt even get to say a banal good morning. Anyway irritated as I was I immediately blocked them, too. What the heck! But then I thought about it and realized their code of conduct was not my code of conduct. Theyre now unblocked. So *Nude* if you see this feel free to revisit as I am what I am. Not quite like Popeye, but of the same vein.[/quote] I know that for some odd reason, some people don't want others looking at their profile, especially the media, and therefor block them.

  There are many screwed up and mentally ill people on this site. If you so much as say hello to some of them they block immediately. Who wants to know such morons. The best recourse is to block them too, basically throw them away, and forget they ever existed in the first place. Only focus upon the few good and real nudists here. The rest can go on a one way trip to Russia and stay there with their comrades.

  I was blocked a couple of times in the past just by looking at their profile or their media. How are you going to know about the person if you do not read their profile or check their media? My profile is open to the public and there are some G-rated photos that I also open to the public but most of my media are for certified friends only. I think this is the best way if you dont want other people to see your media than being an ass in blocking people just because they check your profile/media. BesidesWhy ever join this site if you dont want to be seen or checked out?

  I had several good conversations via various groups with a particular user that is fairly active on the site. One day, I found I was blocked by him. Don't know why. All of our conversations were fairly benign and there was no aurgument about anything. You just never know what might set someone off.

  It also seems that men and women are equally bad on this site. Men block for no reason and so many women here seem to hate men and will block if you so much as say "hello". Nothing worse then a man hating lesbo to ruin your day. Then again, the man hating lesbo might just be an old dude posing as a woman and then spreading the hate around. Too much anger and hatred on this site. Get rid of these deplorables and keep the site only for friendly and real nudists of both genders who are actually genuine..

  I have found a few instances of being BLOCKED.
  It is weird when I had had no contact with them previously. So I cannot say it was something I said.
  The one and only guy who advised he was blocking me, said I wasn't being honest! Wow, some have impossibly high expectations.
  Nudists come in all shapes sizes and experience. Some are tentatively 'coming out' as a nudist, some are exploring who they are, some are wondering about their sexuality and some are super nudists.
  Most nudists are accepting of others, but there are a few bigots and hypocrites in all groups.

  I would not stress over someone blocking you, it just shows how petty some people are.
  
  Ive never blocked anyone (although some twit thinks I have) on here.
  
  I have been blocked though, I once accused two accounts of being the same person, they had very similar profiles, and writing styles. Made the same spelling and grammatical errors over and over again, both blocked me.
  
  The writing style was so distinctive, I began to notice it more and from others with very similar profiles, even though I had zero interaction I was soon blocked by these too. Just recently I noticed it in a new member and yip. Blocked too.
  
  The upshot is, one old guy, (I found the origin) blocked me, and at least nine of the young men hes pretending to be, also blocked me.

  Nothing new here when a person is discovered to have multiple profiles. Doing this actually benefits the site because the site can claim that 500,000 people have signed up. Never mind the fact that some of those 500,000 have multiple profiles and so the 500,000 number is really meaningless. Also never mind that most of those 500,000 are scammers and fakes who come once or twice to scam and then leave the site. Also never mind that many of the 500,00 represent those who many have come one time years ago and have not been back for over a decade? What is the real purpose of being so misleading and borderline dishonest? Can anyone or anything be believed here???

  What is even more strange here are those who add others as 'friends' but never say one word or reply to messages. Who needs 'friends' like that? Do so many here have no clue what a real friend is because they never had any real friends? This is beyond sad.

  [strong]Safety Tip - Do not send money for Customs or import fees for gifts[/strong]
  
  Dishonest individuals may ask for your address so they can send a laptop, camera, iPad or other gift to you. A short time later someone will contact you claiming that the gift is stuck in Customs and that you need to pay a fee to release the item from Customs. This is a scam. Customs agencies do not contact people and ask for fees to be sent by Western Union. Report anyone who asks you for money. Never send money to anyone you meet online or to pay customs fees.

  [strong]Safety Tip - On assignment in Nigeria? - Not likely![/strong]
  
  Be suspicious of anyone who claims they live in the USA, but are on assignment in Nigeria, Ghana or other African countries. Dishonest individuals will claim it is because they are an engineer, aid worker or business person and they suddenly need money because they have been robbed or are a victim of some disaster. Report anyone who asks you for money. Never send money to anyone who you meet online.

  Safety Tip - Do not swap accountsScammers may ask you to access their account on this website, or ask you to swap accounts or ask for your password. A dishonest individual will do this to try to hijack your account and/or try to cover their tracks after committing dishonest behavior. Never allow anyone to access your account and do not access anyone elses account. Never disclose your password to anyone under any circumstances. If someone asks you for your password or asks you to access their account or swap accounts, report them immediately.

  [strong]Safety Tip - SOB Stories From Canada? - Not likely![/strong]
  
  Be suspicious of anyone who claims they live in the Canada and are constantly complaining about medical issues, etc but lack the money to pay for their expenses. Dishonest individuals will claim it is because they are a 'poor' person and they suddenly need money because they have been robbed, are a victim of some disaster, are unemployed and have no money. Report anyone who asks you for money. Never send money to anyone who you meet online.

  We've all have moments when someone says something that makes us uncomfortable in some way. We're individuals and we all have different experiences and often very strong opinions. I love that about the world, and in particular, True Nudists. It would be pretty boring in here if we all got along. We all do ostensibly have one thing in common and that is the love of bareness. Me, I dislike reading blanket statements about a whole group of people to make a point. A comment such as [quote]Nothing worse then a man hating lesbo to ruin your day.[/quote] does very little besides make the writer seem like he's got issues with women in general. If every woman who blocks someone is instantly a mean lesbian, as ridiculous as that sounds, and that that somehow also makes them a bad person, it would help to reconsider the angry words a little longer before posting. There's the Island of Lesbos in the Mediterranean and even a god called Lesbos. Flippantly using the term 'lesbo' will anger some females. Hell, I've got a penis and it didn't make me smile to read it. Using it in this manner is the equivalent of a straight person calling someone a fag in the wrong context. There are a million and one reasons why people don't get along. Turning every female who "doesn't like me" (blocks) in here into a man-hating lesbian is knee-jerk thinking and serves little purpose besides to salve bruised pride. Half a million people can't all get along all the time, and yes, I realize there aren't a half million people actually using TN. Click the button and get on with your life if one person doesn't want to be your best friend forever. Blocking is a useful tool in a venue where anyone can say just about anything. It is surely misused by some and certainly abused by others. But I wouldn't be so keen to share my opinions here if I had no way to move out of the way of the militants. [quote]Get rid of these deplorables and keep the site only for friendly and real nudists of both genders who are actually genuine..[/quote] For real??? Not everyone with a profile is going to be a friend, and just because they aren't doesn't mean they hate everyone with a penis.

  I agree! I only blocked one person due to comments advocating for acts involving sex acts with children!!! Sorry but kids are sacred and should never enter sexual conversations! I do have an open mind and believe that we have a right to choose...leave kids alone!

Not everyone with a profile is going to be a friend, and just because they aren't doesn't mean they hate everyone with a penis.[/quote] This person has plenty of good women in his life and can easily compare such women to the men haters of the world. Can you? It also sounds like you did not understand the points that I was making and so I obviously need to clarify to those with reading comprehension problems. I originally wrote this: "It also seems that men and women are equally bad on this site. Men block for no reason and so many women here seem to hate men and will block if you so much as say "hello". Nothing worse then a man hating lesbo to ruin your day. Then again, the man hating lesbo might just be an old dude posing as a woman and then spreading the hate around. Too much anger and hatred on this site. Get rid of these deplorables and keep the site only for friendly and real nudists of both genders who are actually genuine.." I clearly said "so many women here". This does not mean all and this is clearly not a generalization. This means SOME Women here. Got it straight now? You are making wrong assumptions here and making generalizations based upon your misunderstanding of what was actually written. Reading comprehension is an important life skill as it prevents people from reading what they want to read in spite of what is actually being said. FYI, I am surrounded by many strong willed and intelligent women who hate no one and have absolutely no tolerance for those who do. Unfortunately, too many men on this site (this statement is NOT a generalization and does not mean ALL so let's get that straight) are weak and will suck up to any woman no matter how abusive such women may be to them. This is pathetic! As for my statement about getting rid of the deplorables, you obviously do not seem to have ever experienced real world nudism where real nudist people are open, friendly, and honest about who they are and what they do. If you wish to enjoy the scammers, fakes, frauds, phonies, those with hate issues who abuse and block others for no reason, then go ahead and enjoy them and keep defending them as much as you want. The rest of us who are real and friendly nudists will associate with our kind and you can associate with yours. Finally, I dislike people who put words into my mouth that were never there and clearly have basic reading comprehension issues. If you do not understand what is written, then simply do not comment for if you do you only make a complete fool out of yourself.
