This Group Allows Spam
How about turning this into a private group and making folks accountable? The women posting spam is through the roof. This should be moderated. Stop ignoring it and report it. Im willing to say that over 90 percent of the women on the site are spammers and not real true nudists.
Try sending a note to TT2 about becoming the group Moderator. Gather up the data & details of the current moderators and their lack of action & see if she will make you the new moderator. It can happen but dont expect it to happen quickly. Good luck.

I did this successfully with one group. TT2 made me the moderator. That was a year ago. I've made a similar request for the Hiking group and have not heard anything back. Incidentally, I have
been diligent in deleting the spam post from the group I moderate, and the principal spammer gave up. I have not had any spam in quite awhile.
I moderated a bunch of groups here. I tried to get people involved in conversation on many topics. I uploaded good, wholesome photos to the group's gallery. I did my best to screen out the spammers, the undesirables, the group collectors and friend collectors. Still, this site's photo mods were totally inconsistent. They allow blatant sexual photos, taken off the internet, to individual galleries, to be used as profile pics but would delete simple nudism pictures I uploaded because I didn't have the models signed release. Many of these photo's others uploaded, we not only from the internet but also from porn sites. It was obvious some photo mod/mods were just trying to exercise their new authority on those they disliked.
I contacted TT2 numerous times. I requested to take over groups where the initial group moderator had left the site for months and months and sometimes even years. I inquired about giving group mods a bit more authority to delete posts due to content or the fact that a certain person had not been a member of my groups, all of which were private. She, TT2, even sent me a message stating I would be a great photo mod because of all the pictures I uploaded, I knew the difference between nudist and sexual pictures. When contacted again about this, ... Crickets!
The TT's are not interested in what you have to say or what you want to make this site better. They want numbers. Numbers of members, numbers of groups, numbers of posts and topics. It's a good selling point and that's the end game, to sell this site to the highest bidder. They don't want ANY censorship, even spam, trolls, fakes, pervs, none at all. Their answer, when I did get an answer to increased moderator abilities, was, "just ignore it." Ignore it and it's what we have and what this site will become, overrun with spam, trolls, fakes, pervs. Not what some of us that have been here since the beginning, wanted. A site about True Nudists and Nudism.
That's why I deleted ALL the pictures from the groups I had and why I left those groups which are probably in limbo. For anyone that is gripping about lost groups and lost post numbers... I'll guarantee you weren't very active in any of the groups I was moderating. Seemed the only groups with any activity were the ones discussing, dicks, butts, tits, shaving, balls.
I commented here, but am not a member of the group, so I thought I'd join. I fit the demographic being 64. But then I went to the feed. Holy smokes does the group have a spam issue. The first three pages are almost all spam. Are we, 60+, really such suckers and so desperate that we are a major target for these people? I am going to make one more plea to the admins to pay attention to this issue and facilitate moderator switches. I am sure I will hear nothing but crickets, as Andy says. The alterative is to start new groups with active co-moderators.

This is one of the downsides to limited moderator abilities. In order to remove someone, you don't want as part of your group or don't want their post as part of the discussion, you must delete the entire discussion. If a member of a group is friends with someone not a member of the group, that non-member can still reply and continually reply to the discussions. Sometimes it makes the discussion go completely wrong.
I did receive a message from TT2 some time ago. I'd sent her messages regarding some things and didn't hear back for a long time. She had an accident that compromised her eyesight. She was healing and apologetic for the delay in responding but stated she was mending well. Still, it's been some time, and my messages and requests have not been answered.
This issue with having someone not a part of a group being able to reply to posts in a group, has never gone answered or dealt with. The seem to have both disconnected from the site. That's fine but to me, they've left this place to several people that don't have the time or energy or desire to make it better. With so many chiefs, there's no one actually making decisions. Every chief makes their own.
