Seems to me TN would benefit from an affiliation with an established organization like AANR or TNS, a purging of inactive accounts and cleaning up the gallery. Since naturism is about being free, being certified and full frontal with face should be a requirement and non-issue. Generally suffering from a lack of legitimacy and leadership.

I agree with you, but sharing a scan of my driver's license is.
Respectfully, I just want to say I have a few ideas, but I am not saying they will work.
Here is what I think will work:
1. Make complete "real" Location (City or town, ADMIN. Division or State or Province area, then Nation Country Area) mandatory (for the immediate time now and forever)
2. Make it a paid website or lose the paywall, don't do the "little bit of paywall" attitude.
3. If making it a free website, so do not make anyone able to use the site unless proven 18 or up and certified by or "Digital ID" or with "Digitized ID" with a mandatory "location"
4. If making it a non-free only paid members paywalled website, mandate
A) All Users Pay and provide a billing address that is the only option for the location
B) mandate all users Get Certified
and
C) mandate that all certification either is by ID submitted by the users or some other form of ID so as to comply with regulations,
or else to go by the suggestion to get a substitute for Passport or Real ID either by
(a) not requiring Photo ID but other proof of age verification like providing a birth date and verifying it with cryptographic zero-knowledge proof, among other forms, including using Zilch framework for Zero-Knowledge proofs
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-knowledge_proof
or
(b) require some form of credit card verification system, such as entering credit card information.
I do not have all the answers, there are several alternatives to these ones that are out there. One could do Photo ID, one could try to do it without photo ID. Some ideas work better than others and it is not my job to decide these choices for the community.
I really wish websites like this could organize well and get rid of the trouble with bots. A site that works similar to this could help spread naturism and social nudism, but not many sites like this exist, and many of the ones that do do not have reach. If this site were to work and get popular, which has not happened, it would be good, but I do not see it happening nor attitudes changing as a result of increased awareness for naturism.
I just could only want for the fakes could just get flagged and blocked by existing users. People need to be aware of how to spot fakes in the mean time. It really saddens me that TN is getting run down right now.
I hope the moderators can listen, because a lot of us of us are bothered. I wish the Admins would listen too, but they must be so busy I think with different things other than listening to users. (trying not to say anything to get me in hot water.)
If you criticize someone's credentials or question their authenticity or call them a fake, you will be banned. Been there. A simple straight line purge of all members not logged in in 10 years and a lot of problems disappear.
How so?
