Sex Spam on this site
There has been a great increase in the amount of sex spam on this site over the last year and it is clear that the site management is overwhelmed by the task of banning them.
As members of the site, I understand that we can ban offending profiles from posting to groups where we are moderators but unfortunately many popular group founders have effectively left the site having not logged in for several years.
Is there a mechanism for current members to be made additional moderators of these groups so that the offending posters and their posts can be removed?
Same here. I've offer to take over a couple of groups and have not heard back. I was successful becoming the mod on one group, and I've been deleting spam the day it gets posted. It seems that the main spammer (Liza_r4753) may have given up.
I agree with the excess spam & have likewise volunteered to oversee / aid in removing the offenders. The problem is that one or a select few folks must have a *higher* authority to delete the ne*er-do-wells across the site; this would amount to a super-mod with powers very similar, I suspect, to TT1 & 2s admin abilities. The fakes are relatively easy to spot when they sign up when checking the now non-functioning feed; you could almost spot them as they came onboard. A check a few minutes later to the newest or most recent group posts would show their exact actions. It would be easy to fix it quickly but the administrative desire is not present. They are clearly uninvolved & appear to moving further in that direction. Personally, I would play my cards close to the vest and watch how it plays out.
If the Trues would simply delete all the dead accounts that must be in the hundreds of thousands , this site would be manageable again. Then they could focus on the spam accounts Some people have not logged in for a decade. They should prune every account and group with no activity in the last 2 years. Just set up a couple lines of coding and zap. But they won't do it because it looks good to the potential players if you show a half million.
And some people might be wanting in some social media sites, including the "Trues" in this website, to run the site with bots as the majority of users. That is so wrong. I might not be on this website much longer if they really cannot take care of the fakes and scammer and bring a healthy community of naturists or nudists into effect. That is where a lot of this comes from.
It is that they don't want to prevent alienating their users, so they tolerate all of the scammers and pushers that do not try at all to be diplomatic, and the admins here let the scammers in in the first place and tolerate the people that are chasing away the good users. They then replace their total number of users with numbers filled with bots and dead accounts to bring higher projections for their total users numbers to make themselves look like the most popular site, even when they would be making the site totally run by bots.
Facebook and Google and YouTube are doing the work to make AI bots the most common users of their services and doing the majority of the work for their companies. The Al is making fake profiles at these companies and are not keeping the older real users of the websites. They are losing users at Facebook, Google, and YouTube, and they are letting people created by a Computer Program make their site look like it has more users when they are losing views and users on these websites.
Facebook and Google and YouTube force you to create an account to watch either all content or some of the content, then you interact with their bots on their platform and you can't ever find your friends you know in reality on there unless your friends both like those services and really don't care about AI. Then scam bots are still very trying to scam you if they are the ones owned by Criminals, and the Facebook bots are the only ones working online on Facebook and are not working to take out the few bots and fake profiles run by criminals. The smaller the website, the worse it is with the bots if one does not address the causes of bots and scams.
The internet is mostly bots. The bots are mostly malicious. And soon, the majority of bots will be chat web-bots on Facebook and Instagram and on social media in X and on YouTube.
The companies should turn this around, or else the bots will take over their companies and services. True Nudists should take effect to prevent becoming "Nudist Myspace" or "Nudist Facebook" in the present day. Neither are good paths to go down.
You are correct. It would also help to limit the ability of accounts to post to those who have completed at least a percentage of their profile and have been on the site for a predetermined period of time. That would also slow down bots. But I don't think the will is there, and the bots serve the purpose of inflating the numbers.If the Trues would simply delete all the dead accounts that must be in the hundreds of thousands , this site would be manageable again.

She's still posting her spam, lately in the Louisiana Nudists group. Keep flagging her posts, hoping the mod will take action.
