Thank you, Phil, I'd completely forgotten about TT1's blog. And I'm going to agree with Nudist061 re:private profiles. The option is there and as you know we are currently using it (but hopefully for not much longer) for personal reasons. IMHO, people who've designated their profile as privateare looking for just that, privacy. Nothing sinister to it. Our only other option is to pull our profile and I'm not willing to do that.
It's so refreshing to see an exchange of thoughts and ideas with respect for each other. Thank you both.
Jen
As per my request, TT has also removed a couple of related threads, but may I humbly suggest, that we all take Jen's lead, and take a few minutes, to remove any comments (especially name calling, sarcasm, and quoted passages) and those that now make the thread non-sensical, from ALL affected threads, and replace them with a simple "EDIT: Comment no longer required" then we can hopefully, having learned from it, put this unfortunate episode behind us.
Also, please note that as a number of comments have been deleted, if you have quoted a "comment #" it will now most likely be incorrect, so you may need to amend it.
To identify the affected threads, I will post this comment where I notice it may be required.
Thanks
Phil.

I would also like to add my thanks.
I can understand people have legitimate reasons for having a private profile. What I do not understand is ones who send friend requests who have a private profile and I know nothing about them. I state in my profile I will not accept a friend request from someone with a private profile unless they give me a reason why they want to be my friend. Several of the people nudist061 mentioned in an earlier post with private profiles are my friends. However we established a common ground in forums and chat.

Perhaps it would be an idea to start off with an open basic profile, then later, after several posts and visits to the chat room, to establish oneself self as genuine, and after having accrued several friends, the profile could then be completed and made private, if it's thought to be necessary.
"THIS IS A SELF-POLICING SITE. THAT MEANS FOLLOW THE RULES AND IF SOMEONE IS NOT FOLLOWING THE RULES IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILTY AS A MEMBER IN GOOD STANDING TO TAKE THE APPROPRIATE ACTIONS. Any site is only as good as its members - old or new. When a person (male or female) is not willing to follow the rules/policies/guidelines/etiquette set forth by the creator of the site and exhibits inappropriate or offensive behavior, then it is up to the "offended" member (old or new) to follow the guidelines that are in place to curtail such behavior. 1. Politely let the person know that their behavior or picture is offensive and against the policies of the site. If the offense occurs in chat, let them know it is against the rules and ask them to stop. If it is an offensive picture, send them an email letting them know. I suggest doing it politely. The person in question may be unaware that what they have said or displayed or the manner in which theyve behaved is against the rules. 2. If that does not work, flag their profile listing their specific offense. 3. If the behavior still persists report the abusive/offensive behavior in an email to abuse@truenudists.com 4. When you enter the chat room, REMEMBER that one of the rules you are agreeing to before you enter the room is to FLAG AND REPORT ANY MEMBER WHO IS BREAKING THE RULES. If you dont, you are, in essence, breaking the rules yourself as that is part of what you agreed to do before entering the room. As one must be 18 to be a member of this site, I would assume that one would be mature enough to take responsibility for their own actions/reactions and act accordingly. The same social mores and tenets that exist socially (on the net or off the net) in the textile world apply to THIS nudist site. Let's all work together to keep this site a friendly place for "true nudists". Thank you Though it might be worth adding this Jen. October 23rd, 2008 Congratulations True Nudists. We now have over 3000 users!! https://www.truenudists.com/blog/ The site is growing rapidly and I would like to thank those who have donated and been respectable members of the community. Ive been receiving emails and seeing in the forum that people are unhappy that I am not as socially present as I was when the site was a smaller community. Unfortunately this is just the way it goes. The site is still not collecting ad revenue, so Im unable to hire help so I ask your patience through this growth spurt. There is alot of behind the scenes administration work that keeps me quite busy, and a never ending flow of perverts trying to take over. I am however concentrating most of my efforts to keeping the community clean from pornography and non-nudists who seek to turn this into an adult/porn community. Through this time I have some ways that users can help free up some of my time and also improve the community. 1. Follow the guidelines for chat, pictures etc. The more time I have to spend removing sexual pictures or explaining to users why their account was banned or explaining why a certification was not accepted takes time away from my ability to improve the site. 2. Help patrol the site. This is probably the most useful thing any user can do. Pervs creep in when users allow it. If someone is acting sexually or inappropriate please flag their profile. There is also a place to specify what they have done to deserve the flagging. Please use it. 3. Ask the forum or other users for commonly asked questions. Currently I am trying to compile a list of Frequently Asked Questions. Until then many of the questions you have are answered in this blog, or in the forum, or by simply asking another user in the chat. 4. Volunteer your time If you have experience with HTML/Photoshop or PHP/MYSQL, I could use some help with writing tutorials and entering locations. Please email support@truenudists.com if you would like to help. 5. Donate. (click here to donate) Servers cost money, and while at this time the server costs are not horrendous, the days of needing a dedicated server are getting closer (and teamtrue is running low on hot pockets and Redbull) . So please donate and help the community grow.
