RE:Sex Spam on this site

The solution is simple:

1. Read only until you are paid and/or certified. (I would exempt those long time accounts that have shown they are genuine).
2. No posting media until you are paid and/or certified. This includes the profile photo -and- the profile photo must be of you or something innocuous. No celebrities, no random photos off the internet of porn stars.
3. Delete the non-paid accounts after a year of inactivity. Legal reasons may prevent the deletion of paid accounts, even if not active for an extended period of time.
4. Disable posting to any group/forum that ceases being actively moderated for more than 30 days. Delete it after a year if no one takes over active monitoring.
5. Delete any group/forum that goes more than a year without any activity. Many of the groups are repeats of the same thing, and they should be merged if possible.

RE:Sex Spam on this site

As a nudist, I find it really frustrating to see how much sex spam has crept into spaces that are supposed to be about body freedom, relaxation, and community. Nudism is not about sex, and when spam takes over groups, it pushes away genuine people who are just looking to share experiences or connect healthily.

It doesnt help that many group founders are no longer active. If there isnt some kind of mechanism to appoint new moderators for those groups, the problem will just keep growing, and nudist voices will be drowned out by people who dont respect what nudism actually means. It would make sense to allow trusted, current members to step into those roles so that we can protect our spaces and keep them focused on naturism rather than adult spam.

Mika, you are correct. However, the real root cause is the lack of active site admins. For example, I've been frustrated by spam on a couple of popular groups I am a member of. The moderators are long gone. I successfully got the admins to let me take over the moderation of one such site years ago. For the past year or two, any similar request has fallen on deaf ears.

the mainstream turn more and more into individualism. the woman's don't like to be touched, everything is sexual and the mans are see everything at a woman as sexual. it went so extreme, even in alternative projects with people with some awareness.
