I can only speak to our experience with the site, but others have probably felt the same way.
I gave up with TN because of all the fakes, fantasists and sexual deviants who constantly posted nonsense. By all means have your own kink, but this is the internet, there is a place for everything. Dont dress up (pun intended )your perversion as nudism. I left completely for about a year, then I logged back in to see if anything had changed.
Not surprisingly, it had not. Same garbage. I Ignored most of it, but had to comment on some of the misconceptions, misinformation and down right lies that were being posted about places I am very familiar with. Not that it would stop the rot, but I hope some people realise the truth when they read it.
The lack of any moderation on the forums and indifference of TT on many of the non nudist related topics does not endear the site to genuine nudist to invest in it with either time or money.
As for being certified. This means absolutely nothing other than you know how to take a selfie. It doesnt automatically make you a genuine nudist.
TN has the potential to be great, but its always been more interested in membership numbers than the quality of that membership.
This site has people listed who have not logged on for over 10 years or more. I complained that doing a search these ghosts appear and anyone who has not logged in in the past two years should be deleted . It seems that True want the 500,000 plus members for the masthead even though the majority have no logged in for years

Perhaps I'm missing something, what difference does it make to you, me, or the man on the moon if there are members who have not logged on for years? I don't see how it effects me in the slightest way and I certainly don't care about the issue.
Do I wish that 100% of the members were certified and paid? Absofreakinglutely! If everyone was paid, instead of being a freeloader, then the site owners would have the capital to invest in modernizing and improving the site. Requiring payment and certification would certainly eliminate the fakes.

As an active, paid but not certified member, I believe that if certification is to be required there needs to be a route to certification that does not require uploading a copy of the front and back of your driver's license.

I don't disagree, but how do we prove we are who we say and we are "of age" it is difficult without official documentation of some sort? They can't just take our word for it.
Paying would help stop some fakes, certainly the bot generated accounts but not all, who would no doubt see the cost as investment against future income.
If anyone has an idea how to prove age and identities without loading docs, please do say.

Again, I can only speak from personal experience. I first became aware of the existence of TN through an advertising banner on another site. The banner claimed it was the largest site in the world for nudists and had 250,000 members.
That was ten years ago, and TN was much more vibrant then, but it was clear that the active membership was only a tiny fraction of the quoted. It now very much smaller than that.
I also very quickly realised that quite a lot of the members had a very different agenda than just nudism, and were using this site as a cover for all sorts.
Claiming to have a huge membership, is also a dig draw for fakers and fraudsters and with so little moderation, allows them to remain.
The whole point of this post is to start making the bots, fakes & professional $ex workers feel less than welcome. Thats it!! It will take several of us being polite but direct in Chat, Forums & Groups questioning their legitimacy and nudist ideals. TT (Team Toothless) is not going to show up at dawn & rescue their site. If we, the few, real, genuine nudists dont start trying to show folks the E X I T the downward spiral is going to get worse until TN is just p o r n trash. It can be done & Ive started. What do we have to lose?

Trouble is, they wont read this, its not part of their agenda.
If you criticize someone's credentials or question their authenticity or call them a fake, you will be banned. Been there. A simple straight line purge of all members not logged in in 10 years and a lot of problems disappear.

Most of the problem posts are from people who joined quite recently.
