I want to say that he seems to be a bit misguided about what you get when you are certified. You certainly do NOT get access to all pictures, you have to be a paid member to get this perk.Getting certified only shows that you submitted pictures of YOURSELF and allows you to see photos that are marked certified only, but you can still ONLY see the first five photos of a persons gallery.
Thank you Oregongirl! :-D For a while here I felt like the devil him self in an spanish inquisition :-D I just tried to state that the safety aspekt of certification is minimal. Stil just the admin sees your photos, and he can't have the time to control if you put up another on your profile 2 days later.
Anyhow! The main safety problem, in my wiew, is that the site is open for search in google!! normaly pages like this, clothed or not, are not open for search.

While tineye is a great tool, it's not perfect. Some people do have theirpics posted on other sites.
A good example of this - there are two pictures of me posted on anudist resorts website as part of their advertising.My husband was the photographer and they have our writtenpermission to use those photos. If we were to post either one of them on our profile here, it is likely that they would show up on a tineye search. Would we then be accused of "stealing" the pictures?
Once again, tineye is a great tool, one we use often, but you really need to take the over all profile into account and consider whether the person in question truly does have their pics posted elsewhere on the net.

I thought I share this with you and anyone who cares to find out how many FAKES are OUT THERE!
I have tried to send them a message and we can tell if they read the message or not.
Anyway once you bring it up and ask them if they are a man or a woman they stop replying.
It happened to me and this guy keeps posting pictures of the same lady who happens to be a Porn Star.
I questioned him and he have not reply and found out that he keeps posting the same lady in other poses pretending
to live in a different part of the world.
I do know that if you ask him to chat even just for a minute on web-cam to see if he's a man or a woman either he'll
do it or Not!
Keep an eye for those kind of Pervs!!

Totally agree with you Jen - Tineye on its own is as reliable in establishing 'sockpuppet' profiles as the Salem children were in divining witches. Its usefullness comes in when it is used in conjunction with other factors. Fooling tineye is easy - change the picture file name, file size, image resolution and tineye is left in the dark.
Just because someone has a nude picture on another non nudist site does not make them a 'sockpuppet' nor a thief. Pornstars can be nudists too.
It keeps being said - the internet is NOT secure - if 'outing' could be a problem for you - don't post recognisable pictures, simples.
If you want to make your pictures less of a theft target photoshop your name onto them. Your pictures - your responsibility!

p.s. Mini pictures that pixellate - always suggests a stolen thumbnail picture because thumbnails are rarely copy protected.
