It indicates to other members that you are not likely to be a textile lurker or a man pretending to be a woman.. If you look at the requirements for certification you will see that, while it is not totally foolproof, it will weed out many such.

Many of us are wary of relating to non-certified members.

Thank you. Yes I am desirous of limiting my contacts to the serious nudist. I am here to meet other social nudist and make contacts for resorts visits and friendships since my wife is not as into things as I am and I would like to meet people to talk too.

I agree with John as well. It does help in making contact with sincere nudists on the site. I do not send or accept friend requests except to and from certified people.

If you are a certified nudist, it means you can get free coffee refills at Waffle House & IHOP with your purchase of the first cup. You also get your choice of parking spots in the parking lot provided another vehicle is not already occupying that spot.

kind of irrelevant to me, I tried to get certified and got approved, and then rejected 2 days later on some lame excuse. Not worth trying again. I was going to start supporting but that kind of made me loose my supporting interest. To me being certified here is no proof or indication of anything, and the perks are extremely weak, so isn't really worth the effort of trying again.

Thank you. It seems to be equally divided in opinion.

If your goal here on this website is to look at nude pictures, then getting certified is logical. If your goal here is to participate in any other way, then don't bother.

I've been here for 10 years, and slowly watching it degrade more and more with the perverts taking over. I say don't bother.

Really kinda simple: The benefit of being certified is that you can interact with people who prefer to interact with certified members.
