RE: Inappropriate Pictures and Behaviour.

there seems to be another single female profile with a questionable photo. since the photo seems to be a little tasteless to me, here goes that link too. https://www.truenudists.com/profiles/index.php?id=8399 i again postedthe comment to her photo regarding #3 of the photo guidelines. and one quick note about ousting people here in the forums, i don't think the kind of people we are trying to get rid of actually read the forums little alone post to them. they don't even read the photo guidelines!

I agree here, and I'm leaving her a little note also. Thanks for everybody jumping in to clean up OUR site !!!!!

RE: Inappropriate Pictures and Behaviour.

For what it's worth, my two cents says that pics of memberswho are clad in lingere are inappropriate. Message them and ask them to voluntarily remove the offending pic, and if they don't, spread the word about who it is and flagg them. ~ Lauri

Mmmm...I'm a little on the fence on this one Laurie. And I'll admit it's because there is one or two pics of me wearing lingerie. We really didn't think of them as being inappropriate as they were taken in the course of our lives. We had just gotten home from a dinner party and it had been snowing - the first snow of the season. And I got very excited about the snow, ripped off my dress and bra and ran out to welcome it. Didn't occur to me to remove anything from my waist down because there was snow on the ground, lol. If anyone on our friends list thinks it's inappropriate we'll gladly remove them.

As, usually, I'm just finding a long winded way to say, careful here folks, there is a difference between catching and ousting offenders and a witch hunt. We had someone point out a picture to us of a man sitting in a relaxed position on a chair. THey felt it was "spread eagle" and that he was showing off his package. Our opinion was that he was sitting comfortably in a chair and the focal point was not of his genitals at all. No more so than any picture of a woman's breasts. Frankly, if most men were to sit with their legs together, their genitals would be much more prominent as there is nowhere for them to go but up, lol. THere are also a lot of very artistic photos on this site that truly celebrate the beauty of the human form - male and female - yet some of these might be consider by a few to be suggestive or pornographic.
When looking at other people's pics, Steve and I feel it's really important to look at the overall "picture" and feel of the profile. To keep a sense of objectivity. The rules on posting pics are pretty clear and straight forward, but when talkign about pictures there is also always a "grey" area. Don't forget this is a nudist website and you will see a man's genitals and a woman's breasts and sometimes you'll even see nudes who are partially clothed.

Let's all work to clean up this site and bring it back to what it's supposed to be - by getting rid of the ones who have a FLAGRANT disregard for the rules. Just my humble opinion and I welcome a chance to hear other's view points.

RE: Inappropriate Pictures and Behaviour.

I see your point, Jen. I was reacting earlier to a pic of a woman in a bustier, garter belt, fishnets, thong and posed in a seductive, crotch-shot pose... Those are the pics that take us down that slippery slope. It all goes back to the old saying, I can't tell you what pornography is, but I sure know it when I see it.

I have to agree with Jen that pics in lingere are OK. If you look at the way the chat room rules are worded, you may come to the same conclusion as I that if it would be acceptable at a resort it is fine here. There are some pics on a lady's profile wearing lingeree at a dance at a resort. Lingeree is often sensual, but it is not pornographic. Rather than worrying about tastefull photos that the person is partially clad, worry about the pornographic pics. Jen also mentioned the artistic photos some people have showing the beauty of the human form. Saying those pics are inappropriate would be like saying the work of some of the great photographers like Ansel Adams are pronographic. That would make us as bad as the prudish people that say any nudity is bad.

I have just gotten on here, but I admit I have came across pics that I feel are more exhibitionist that nudist. Sometimes there looks like there was a bit too much effort to put the "goods" on display.
Also seen some profiles I suspect are not real profiles, but I do not have any real proof those are fake.

RE: Inappropriate Pictures and Behaviour.

I am trying to make up my mind on whether I agree or disagree on the posting of names if they don't agree with someone elses opinion of what is to be tolerated and what isn't. Though I'm certain that most would be sensible in their 'blacklisting (yep, that's the term that comes to mind)" there will undoubtably be some that will be offended because some woman is beter looking or some guy better, well you get the idea. The one photo of a lady in lingerie that has some up in arms I don't find a problem with, yet there is a profile of a girl that states her age as 17 and she's topless. In some places just viewing it while browsing could get you a child porn conviction.. but it remains up after being flagged, and a member under 17 and partially nude are against all the rules. So like I say, I'm still trying to make up my mind, smacks a bit of McCarthyism
Don - the "17" year old profile DEFINITELY needs to be flagged and removed as quickly as possible. That is highly illegal to post. I would also send the message in an email to abuse@truenudists.com ASAP. Will you please take care of that since you are the one who knows which profile it is?

Wow, thanks everyone for your input, I can't keep up! it's now 03:50am AGAIN! ......I can't keep doing this :(
The pic thing is really difficult, I've already had a row over the clothing thing, I think we should make it as easy as poss for TT and just say no partially clothed pics. He's got better thing to do than waste time trying to decide weather to uphold that kind of complaint and it would remove at a stroke all the sexy underware pics.

Sorry I have to disagree with you Phil. I switch my profile pic around occasionally depending on my mood. I use either a clothed pic or a non nude nude like my fishing pic since any one can see it. One of my clothed pics is on a beach so I am in a bathing suit since it is not a nude beach. A woman could take a pic on any beach in Texas and be topless since it is legal for women to be topless any where men are allowed to be topless. We cannot be nude everywhere we go legally and there are activities we enjoy even if we can't be nude doing them and are part of who we are.
