Chat Room & Photo Policies - Alignment?
I have noted that the chat room policies are as follows:
Chat Room Rules and Regulations
1. No Sexual Discussion, or Sexual Activities on Chat
2. No Crotch Shots. Faces on cam please.
However, in personal photo albums I have noted many crotch shots and sexually suggestive activities.
Should chat room policies align with photo posting policies?
The policies are in alignment, just it is harder to police the photos. Also, there are some pics that were uploaded before the photo policy changed and are grandfathered in. If a photo is inappropriate, you can flag the profile and put as reason inappropriate photo and they may get removed if site owner agrees.

The rules are completely in alignment:
Photo posting rules/guidelines:
1. Your profile photo (1st picture) must contain you. Afterwards you may upload any photos you like
2. Please no erection shots, crotch shots or pornographic photos
3. No Spread Eagle, or shots where the butt, genitals or anus are the main focus point.
4. Images containing nudity can not contain anyone under the age of 18.
5. We are no longer approving pictures that contain only genitals,
6. If you choose not to show your face then you may not show your genitals.
7. All Photos are approved at the discretion of the administrator.
8. Filesize must be 1MB
But, as Txag mentioned, they are much more difficult for site admin to police. If you do a nudist search, the first 25 members listed alone have well over 16,000 pictures posted between them. I may be wrong about this, but I don't believe any have truly been "grandfathered" in. I think it's simply a time constraint and lack of trusted manpower to review all the photos.
Beachlover, I agree 100% with you. Until site admin finds a way to better vet the posted pictures, I wish the "featured nudist" section would disappear. That feature is relatively new and the majority of the time, I see a picture that just makes me cringe whenI look at the front page. That space used to be for paid advertising and featured resorts. But there were only two resorts that I remember ever advertising in that space.
Bullerman, you would do the site a great service if you would flag the photos you see that are inappropriate for the site and that are in disregard of the photo posting rules. There are many who do so, sometimes with good results.

The reason I mentioned some pics being grandfathered in is that I seem to remember TT1 saying that about pics when pic policy was changed when site was still new. It may have been in chat room when he actually had time to come in to chat. If the featured profile was replaced with adds, it could be a good source of revenue with the number of hits this site had. Till then, if a featured profile has inappropriate profile pic, flag it and also mentioned it was seen on the home page.
Not to contradict NIMA, but since the pics are resized after loading to maximum 800x600 pixels, it would probably be more like 5 times as many imgages as he calculated.

Thanks for clarification folks.
I must admit I get a bit thrown off by some of the images that pop up on the home page (e.g. what appears to be an intimate session in a hot tub).
While I have few issues either way, I do appreciate the difficulty in the application of consistent standards across the site.
All this may be true...but does the site have to promote those photos on the home page?
There are some Home Page pics which would put a potential new 'naturist' member off joining the site -but not many. The 'Home Page' is kind of symbolic of the 'Front Desk' of any business organisation and is there to create an apt, appealling and inviting image which, insome instances here, is not always the case.But I do accept and recognise that TT1 can't be everywhere doing everything all of the time!
Well, a quick look at the author's profile, Certified or not, tells me that he and I probably wouldn't agree on what constitutes apropriate photos. Even so, the author acknowledges the problem: The home page gives the theme of the site; that there are photos that would turn away TrueNudists; but then fails to continue the logical progression of the argument and ask, "So what kind of person would these photos encourage to join the site? Well, let me answer that for you...those interested in a sex site.
The post that shows TT1's work load to allow us this site...it is a great post, and I have a new appreciation for what it takes to run a site as this one. Still, I can't help but think that if he had the time to change the front page to include the profiles, he has the time to recognize a troubled experiment and correct it.
I - could - not - have - put - that - better - myself!
Looks like I've got some competition.

The second law of thermodynamics dictates that if we place to large blocks of marble in a large steel drum, and shake it, we could shake it forever and we will never end up with the Venus de Milo and Michelangelo's David.
Like all things, without some inteligent intervention, they would eventually degenerate to sand.
Offers of inteligent intervention have repeatedly gone unanswered.
As such, we all have the simple choice to stay, or go.
Some have gone, and the rest of us will ultimately leave when the marble degerates far enough.
Fortunately, the front page only shows the primary profile photos, and the "random" gallery photos tend to repeat.
If the gallery photos are truly random, then some very disturbing photos will eventually appear.Still, I can't help but think that if he had the time to change the front page to include the profiles, he has the time to recognize a troubled experiment and correct it.
Failure to do so, will hasten the degeneration at an accellerated rate.
At a minimum, it will accelerate the work load at hopefully only according to square law, and not logrythmically.
