Members With 'PRIVATE' profiles.
We should ignore members with private profiles who post on the forum. It beggars belief that anyone wishing to remain private, should even join a social site, but if they wish to remain private,they should do by staying off the forum.
It only take a few seconds to click on someone's profile before replying to a post,and if it's private,ignore them.
So let us help the people remain private. Ignore, ignore, ignore.
The one exception I would make is to let new users know their profile is blocked. The privacy controls can be a little counterintuitive for new users, and they may not realize they are blocking access. I know in addition to having some of our pictures set to private we accidentally had the entire album also set to private due to the default settings when we first started. As far as being certified, that carries no extra trust for us. The only ones we truly trust are the 9 members we have met in real life (4 are members of our non-landed club, one we met at local winter nude swims, and 4 we met on a Bare Necessities nude cruise). We have pictures that show our face and pictures with tasteful nudity, but none that have both. Since Team True isn't among the 9, we haven't sent in certification pictures.
Certification seems to be less popular among couples. Among our friends list it is 2:1 against certification among couples, 3:1 for certification among men, and we don't have a single certified female on our list. For the site as a whole, only 642 out of 13176 couples have been certified, 252 out of 11650 women have been certified, and 10542 out of 150000+ men have been certified. So go ahead and ignore non-certified users... You cut out 98% of the women, 95% of the couples, and 93+% of the men. Granted you probably will be filtering out at least 99% of the fakes, but we've heard grumblings in the forums of even some certified accounts seeming fake. So we are back to our foolproof method... only trust people you have met IRL, take anyone that seems genuine at face value, and drop/block any friends that give off any kind of weird vibe or make crude comments.
Ignore, ignore, ignore.agree completely and indeed now also adopt the same approach in respect of uncertified users, if indeed they are even real.
Aussiedain, you have just replied on the (Introvert and Nudist) thread that was started by a private poster.
I've always felt and shared with others that naturists are the most friendly people. But the exception seems to be a vocal few on this site.
While there may be people with ulterior motives, whether or not someone has private profile shouldn't be misconstrued as an indicator. New users with private profiles may simply be shy and concerned about their privacy. Given time and positive interactions with seasoned users they would probably be inclined to change their privacy settings. But if they're shunned and basically attacked for being cautious they may never open up and could eventually leave the site with a negative perception of the True Nudist site, its users and even the naturist community in general.
I see no reason someone cant enter a profile with a safe amount of info about themselves. I dont care about them posting a pic. That i understand. Its like talking to yourself when you when you try conversing wkth someone with no profile, sense no personality. Whats their likes or dislikes?
