For fear of retribution from the moderator (s) -- FOR ALL MEMBERS OF TN

A line of discussion has developed today on one of the Groups which I belong...I have copied a small part of the replies and removed the names for the sake of privacy.. With the exception of my screen name. But this is an issue that concerns all members of TN-both non-paying members and Certified Members. I left the political arena in Washington, DC in 1997 with no intention of standing in the limelight any further. But this issue impacts many people, it can also impact on TN if members feel so desperate as to cancel their membership.

I had the same experience here. I tried to upload some non sexual pics and they refused always without explanation. And same problem with chat rooms

Had similar issues myself. Whilst not quite as impressive as 8-Inches, I have a few prominent veins when flaccid and I'm also fairly girthy, which may give the impression of a semi or an erection.

I see no consistency with the moderator's work and their criteria appear to be highly subjective. It gives less credibility to this social forum.

I agree, there does seem to be over zealous inconsistency with some moderators. I know a very new member is experiencing this right now. He is well endowed even when soft. He followed the rules and for his TN profile he did submit only photos of him being flaccid, and they were removed. I suggested to him that he should write a note to the 'office' telling them those deleted photos were when he was flaccid.
RE:Mods removing profile pictures.
I must admit I am just about done with TN unfortunately. I have had all my pics removed and have contacted them - no response. There doesn't appear to be any consistency among the the moderators - if it is not the moderators, why has someone else even got the ability to remove pics randomly. The lack of consistency is contrary to the TN reputation and credibility in my opinion.

The pic police/mods on here are pathetic and run their own agendas.. I've seen your pics and there is NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM. You show your full body with no erection..I think the mods are jealous of guys with long penises. They certainly have a chip on their shoulder about something lol. And I see way more suggestive pic including semi erect AND erect on many other profiles.. Hope you still stay on here Mike as I enjoy our catch ups/chill out time....and keep trying to post some pics.

I totally agree!!! Mike just happens to be a well endowed man....What is wrong with that? ---His photos do not have a semi or full erection as several others do. I am not a troublemaker but this issue affects all members.....There will be a Regional Meeting of the AANR this Fall to be held at the Shangri La Nudist Ranch. Perhaps members of this website need to show up at that meeting and voice concerns about the management of TN!!

RE:Mods removing profile pictures.
I was told by a moderator that I could not join a group because of one photo in my profile. It was me standing at my bathroom sink, shaving my days growth of beard. I explained that I was totally flaccid not semi and not erect. I was told to remove the photo or they would!

Update 20 April 2019 at 9:52pm----Now ALL of Mike's photos have been removed, to include the avatar photo--the nude photo cropped at the waist so that no genital area is showing.....This is petty vendetta for an honest complaint! This uncontrolled censureship problem needs to be resolved now!!!

How does this affect us all? Any user can create a group and be its moderator. As group owner and moderator they can set and enforce their own rules and criteria. You may not agree and that,s okay. Just dont participate in that group and create your own with your own rules.

I don't think the original poster is saying it is the moderator of the group where that conversation is that is the concern. The concern is that there is no consistency between the moderators of the TN website as a whole. Without being consistent, users unable to upload pictures will fell this site is bias and won't remain a part of it. Additionally, a bias with what certain website moderators allow or doesn't allow does affect all TN members.

FullSun,

You wouldn't believe, or maybe you would, the number of times I've been criticized for the way I run/Mod my groups! :DDD I've pretty much ignored the critics until it became relentless and annoying. I ended up deleting some members from my groups that do nothing but complain. I've responded in the same manner as you expressed. " If my group/groups don't suit you, leave or start your own group." I never expect anyone to have the exact same thoughts, opinions, philosophies as I/we do in regards to a nudist lifestyle but if they truly differ that much that you do nothing but criticize or complain about someone else's nudist lifestyle, then you've got way too much time on your hands! ;D

If you will forgive me for I am a simple hard working guy and have enjoyed the site for quite some time and if it matters I'm a lifetime paid member. . Personally I pay no mind to free members carping about anything but that's just me. I don't question you worked in Washington DC and take you at your word. I read your post, I read through your entire profile and honestly friend I was literally tired of reading after the entirety of it all. After reviewing your lengthy very detailed thread guessed you were a single male before I ever saw your profile when the mention of deleted penis pics seemed to be a topic of concern to you. Perhaps you might try and relax and enjoy the lifestyle instead of being so political about what ever you don't agree with. Like Forrest Gump said " And that's all I have to say about that."

My experience so far of truenudists is that the moderators do what they want. For example posts with criticisms or security concerns get deleted rather than making any effort to deal with them. They made no effort to respond to any of my questions, maybe because I'm a lifetime member. It is a rather short sighted way of doing business. The website is great and the cost is very reasonable but it seems they are accountable to no one so I find myself floundering around as a result.

I have had photographs removed and once been banned from chat. On all occasions, although the chat and/or pictures were relevant to the thread or conversation they were not appropriate when taken out of context. The moderators only see occasional snapshots of what is occurring and haven't got the time to delve further so I have no quarrel with any of their decisions over the five years that i have been a member.
Remember that they are all unpaid volunteers doing a difficult job trying to stop this site from degenerating. If you think you could do better and are willing to submit to the many hours of boredom involved then I suggest you volunteer.

Interesting posts. As a retired physician, I felt it appropriate to provide relevant information to men. Two were accepted: The benefit of nude sleep, a medical factual reply regarding penile glans sensitivity and lastly, for males, who regularly masturbate, with statistics to support it, of which I am one, about the benefits of masturbation. An important topic. The TN censors rapidly removes it.
