As a lifetime paid certified user of over 15 years, Im now no longer allowed to be in the chat room. This is because a moderator has decided I must give him full access to my profile. This moderator has been blocked by me - on the main site, NOT the chat room - for over a decade, after repeated expressions of bigotry and discrimination toward me and others. I abide by 100% of terms of service for both the site and the chatroom, but no user, including myself, should be forced to be friends with any other user, even a moderator, who continually expresses offensive or bigoted views. So, for those of you who I enjoyed chat with over the years, please know that Im no longer allowed in the chat unless the owners explain to the moderator that it is within the TOS for me to wish not to communicate with him on the main site.

    Very strange, which moderator is this? We should all flag and block him.

    Im sure theyd ban me if I said who. They dont follow the site TOS themselves.

    I agree with you. We should all have that right to pick and choose who we wish to share our profile. Its not the moderators job to dissect chat room members. I wish you luck.

    Theyre labeled in the chat with a great or orange hammer and are the only ones who can ban someone from chat

    [quote]Im sure theyd ban me if I said who. They dont follow the site TOS themselves.[/quote] yes moderators make up their own rules and nothing we can do about it. They ban people from chatting about subjects they don't like. These are the posted Chat room rules and people get banned all the time for stuff that isn't on this list. Chatroom Rules No Sexual Discussion, or Sexual Activities in EITHER ROOM No Crotch Shots. Faces on cam please. If you do not want to be seen on your cam. Do not use it. Be nice, no rudity harrassing or trolling. Flag users who do not follow the rules. Have Fun!

    I had a friend confront this mod who said: TOS, lightnening blocking me is not TOS. Which as you just showed, its NOT in the rules to not allow for a mod to view your profile. This same mod then proceeded to ban the friend who dared question him.

    He also has no photons on his profile only a photo of an animal. Sure fine, but how dare he demand to have full access to my profile. Its costing the site $$$$$ to have a moderator like this banning people who have been on the site for years who have hundreds of friends and contacts. The number of people responding to me privately asking to me to join another site instead tells the story that this is financially a bad decision to allow him to make up his own rules.

    Its sad. I dont want to move sites and I do follow the rules. I have no doubt the owners or moderators will ban me permanently from the site, but it doesnt change the fact some of these moderators are costing the owners thousands of dollars or more. Theyre continually breaking TOS and banning those who question it.

    [quote]Just to chime in here...this guy isn't the only one. I just got banned from the chat room for posting a photo that was approved and on my profile. We continuously get ads here on the site to upgrade to premium subscription, but why would anyone do that when nonsense like this occurs? First time i've ever been banned. I messaged "koalas" and asked why I was banned. He was kind of enough to respond and I thanked him for responding. He said my photo "looked erected". It certainly does not to anyone who can see. And how would a photo like that even have been approved when it was uploaded? Not that I would even consider doing so. I realize some moderation is necessary to keep out the freaks...but this is over the top. Stuff like this is costing you money. Take care and best regards.[/quote] Thank you for your thoughts. Im 100000% certain this isnt an isolated issues and anyone that questions the moderators abuse is immediately and permanently banned from the site. I cant imagine how many people would actually be in the chat it was moderated by unbiased mods who actually had some form of accountability when they themselves break the rules. One doesnt need to be of a specific generation, marital status, or political viewpoint to be able to be a genuine nudist, but unfortunately one or more of the moderators feel otherwise.

    The latest the moderators told me is that mus support everything the moderators say and allow them to view all of my profile or I must be hiding something, I ban bigots from my profile, moderators or not, who I have not desire to associate with, the moderators a free to be as bigoted as they wish, but I shouldnt be forced to allow the to see my profile

    many mods [not all] will ban if you question any decision they make. quite a few will ban for no reason at all. like you [lightning24] i intend to stay here for the chat -- which can drive me crazy at times, but that's life -- but i check to see what mods are here as soon as i enter and if it's one of the bad, homophobic, penis-phobic ones i wont participate in the chat or even put my cam on. nonshy is much freer but for that reason, it's a lot more like TS, and very little chatting about nudity or anything else

    Moderation has been a recurring issue on this site, especially the chat since as long as I can remember, maybe getting worse in the past few years. I think it's quite ridiculous that while many moderators do a good job, a handful of them is just ruining it with their behavior. It's even more ridiculous that this moderator would force a user to show their profiles while they themselves have something to hide as they don't even have a picture of themselves in their own profile. It's also possibly a design flaw of the website if moderators cannot see users' profile to moderate them. Or then chat moderators must be made clear that they are here to moderate the chat and it's not their prerogative to police users' profile, which might be done by other folks, I don't know... Anyway, there are luckily a few moderators with whom one is able to discuss to understand what we possibly did wrong and learn and grow and make this community better, but it's sad to see that this community will be/is ruined by its own moderators. I guess their priorities are aligned differently.

    I have been tempted to flag the moderator's profile for harassment, but I don't think it would do any good... Has anyone done that?

    I have been wondering about reporting the moderator's profile for harassment, but I don't think it would do any good... has anyone else considered/done it?

    Sorry to read about your experience on TN. It's a shame some moderators decide to single out some people with their own take of the rules.

    I'm not sure what is going on with the Mods on here. I was banned for I believe calling out an individual who was attention seeking and complaining theat he was messaged by people. Said person was not certified and had a pic full frontal. They seem to be a law unto themselves
