  I hope that as I share my opinions and experiences, people will learn to trust I am who I say I am. I come to this site to learn and share with the community, not to look or post pictures. I think there are some very good people on this site. But why is there so much focus on pictures? There is no doubt in my mind that most of the profiles on this site were simply set up to collect or view naked pictures. To see nude pictures of me, you must become a real world friend and take the picture yourself. I won't even post a picture on facebook.

  [quote]agreeed on that, im an 18 year old male and i i think we should be the way god made us, but if others dont agree, they shouldnt be part of the true nudists  [/quote]    Oh, to be 18 and have all the answers!  Nope. Been there, done that. Sorry, lollipop, along with being a social networking site for nudists, it's also a site for those interested in learning about nudism.  There is absoultely NOTHING in the TOS or the rules/guidelines for this site that even remotely suggests that one MUST be nude, display nude pictures, appear on cam nude, etc to be a member here.  In my not so humble opinion, your intolerent attitude towards "textilers" is tatamount to many "textilers" intolerance to "nudists/naturists" that we are trying so hard to dispell.   I've said this many places here, but I'll say it again for any one who has missed it.  One of the joys to me of being a nudist is that I choose when and where to be nude and it is based on my comfort, practicality, opportunity and discretion not someone else's demands.   Jen

  Welcome to the site, Sweetness.  Sorry you're having difficulties.  It does take more than one flag for a person to be actually removed from the site. That's why it's so important for every one to flag someone who is behaving abusively.  And anyone reading this, make sure you have a legitimate reason to flag someone - false flagging will also get you removed from the site.

  [quote]I totally agree.  I enjoy being nude... but when i do it and how i do it... is entirely up to ME..   and not someone tellling me when or how.  Im also new to the site and learning about nudism.  I have seen a pattern here with lots of men wanting to see naked pictures of me.  I have posted one to show im a nudist... but only for my friends... i wont be bullied into having pervs or trolls ask me time and time again for these pics.  My profile was open and the first quote i got on my nude pic was ...nice tits... really shows how much of a nudist this person was... and not even a new member and also a CERTIFIED one at that...   so no i dont trust a lot of these people on here and in order for me to acquire that trust i require them to write to me and talk like any normal person would.  And yes i did eventually flag this person yet he is still around.  So unless u have a group thing happening these pervs will remain on this site.  [/quote]    Hi Sweetness,   When you flagged that person I hope you indicated what the flagging was for and quoted the exact phrase, as well as where it was left. This might be necessary later.

Just wondering because you say you're 18, your profile says you're 18, the pictures are of an 18ish looking person....yet the date stamp on them is 2003.  That would mean you were  11 when they were taken...hmmm. So what gives with your age, dude? Jen

  HI Sweetness,

  I am so sorry that you had to receive such a stupid, insensitive and harassing statement from someone on this forum and I feel that anyone who would do so, certified or not (certification is really immaterial when something like this occurs), should be flagged and banned.  There are a number of jerks here but the majority are responsible adults who enjoy nudism as a non-sexual part of their lives and who would never think of making such a statement.  I hope you can keep positive thoughts as to the value of TN and the people who populate it.

I also notice that you haven't bothered to read this:Photo Guidelines..Please follow them1. Your profile photo (1st picture) must contain you. Afterwards you may upload any photos you like 2. Please no erection shots, crotch shots or pornographic photos 3.NoSpread Eagle, orshots where thebutt,genitalsor anusare the main focus point.4. Images containing nudity can not contain anyone under the age of 18. 5. We are no longer approving pictures that contain only genitals, 6. If you choose not to show your face then you may not show your genitals. 7. All Photos are approved at the discretion of the administrator. 8. Filesize must be 1MB   As you can see, one of your pics IS in breach of rule #3, please remove it.   Your profile pic is sailing pretty close to the wind as well.   Please go here and take the time to find out what Naturism is REALLY all about!WELCOME! ..... to TN :) :) :) .....START HERE!

CoolI am one of the people who think that in a nudist site people shoud be nude and i know everyone is free to do as they like but this site seems not so friendly at all..so many people arguing instead of communicating.Thanks to all polite people in this site for their nice and helpful posts. And sorry for my bad english, just a poor old italian here with his trusted dictionary next to keyboard. Take care you all Nick

  Nick, you're English is excellent!  And don't let a difference of opinion scare you away from the forum.  Read a few more of the posts here, you'll learn that most of us (not all) actually get along quite well, consider each other friends or worthy adversaries and respect each other EVEN when we're in disagreement. LOL, part of what you're experiencing is "cabin fever". Quite a few of us are sick to death of winter, tired of bundling up to stay warm, craving to feel the sun on our skin and a cool breeze sweep over us.  Think it makes us a little grumpy. Welcome to the site!Jen

  I Think You Are RIGHT!!  If I get a request and their pics are "private"  or if it is a lone male and the pic kind of looks as if he is "seeking' then I must ignore them.  i may miss out on a good friendship but like you said,  you need to let people know whom you are and what you are all about and put a few pics up there for us to see the friendship and honesty in your face.  I'd rather see your face than your butt.  Faces are all different the other end seems to be quite the same. ha ha.

  I disagree entirely.  Posting nude pictures on the web that can copied and distributed outside the safety of a particular site and that are available to anyone on the site is quite a bit more risky than gettin' nekkid at your local nudist resort.  Also, the joy of nudity comes from being nude, not from looking at other people's nude pictures.  Perhaps seeing nekkid pics should be less of a priority for you!
