it says that you must be certified to post pics in the open chat - and I see many others with nude pics in their media that are not certified
You must be certified to post nude pictures period now. The rules changed a year or so ago due to legal issues with their credit card processor. This was at the same time the overly draconian changes were made to what words could be used without being censored. Most have been backed off, but considerable damage was done and some of it still remains. This is why you still see "NA" in a lot of places (Still there for "couples").

I was just banned for 24 hours, with no reason given. I believe it may be because I posted an erotic photo of my wife as a "Very Private" photo. I assumed "very private," meant exactly that. I guess I was wrong and if it's a violation of the rules I'll be happy to delete it.
Can somebody, anybody, please give me an explanation for this "ban"? There's nothing worse than being "punished" for something and not knowing what the inflation is.
Question: Are all erotic photos banned? Shouldn't that apply only to the "public. photos"? We've been nudists for over 50 years -- and married that length of time as well, so we're accustomed to naked bodies and even a little "playfulness." Can somebody please, please give us a clear explanation of the "rules"?

I agree with you. Hard to follow the rules if they are not all printed and equally enforced. If you get banned or a photo removed they should quote the infraction you broke so you could try not to do it again.
Just saying....
The rules do appear to be applied in an inconsistent manner; I've witnessed some and don't understand the logic. What's even more galling is the sheer volume of fakes, advertisements for services and non-compliant photos in the groups. It really is disheartening. Maybe one day it will get fixed.
