First off, let me explain that I am not new to nudism or new to this site. I created a new identity to conceal my real certified truenudist identity of which I have been a member for several years.If you had posted this under your regular name I think it would carry more weight. Here you are with an unknown identity complaining about those with questionable identities. Regarding your suggestion that the site owners close the site to all those who have not "proven" themselves. Please remember, this site is a business for it's owners. Like it or not, it's a numbers game; the greater the number of visitors, the greater the number of paid memberships, the greater their profit. Before suggesting how they run their enterprise and that they lock the front door of their business, have YOU paid your dues with a paid membership?
The Nude Topher said it: AMEN
I too am dissapointed was liars and phonies on this site.
My profile has many friends listed.
But actual friends on here I can count on one hand, acquaintances I can count on both hands , the rest I haven't heard of since the befriended me.
Hence the cull is pending my enthuasium to do it.
As for certification on here to me it proves nothing, I have had a number of sus discussions with certified Weirdo's as I have had within uncertified Weirdo's so I take certification on here as a sus joke.
A better certification process would be a face to face video can session with an admistrator. But then all devils can e angles when the need arises so even that sort of process could be doctors by misrepresentation. Harder I know but possible.
I'm still very new here, and have not come across any of these issues. It took me a while to work up the courage to join a network like this, and i'm very disappointed to hear about these issues. I was hoping that this site would be a good reliable place to find friends, and get information. Not so sure now...
I'm sorry you're feeling this way but this is something you should have been aware.116 out of 116 men who have proven to me that they are all Trolls
Why are you friends with 116 trolls/perverts? There's got to be some good ones out there.Don't know what you have found here, But for me, it is ruining the image of nudism.
The image of nudism is not based on one website or two. If your image of nudism is based on the success or failure of a website, that is sad. You must expand that image beyond websites or virtual space.I like being here on TN and I really would like to stay, but it's becoming harder and harder the more I try to make friends.
The real ones are out there. Nudism is experiential not virtual.
Where did you make the mistake? What did you do to experience this?When people sign up to TN, it is under the assumption that they are a TRUE NUDIST.
You made an assumption, a bad one (What happens when you make an assumption?). TrueNudist.com is just a domain name, no more no less. There is another website which sounds like poornudst. Do you really think that those who signed up for that website are "pure". I don't think so. For several people nudism still means sex.
Just because somebody is naked, typing in front of a computer, signed/registered to this website, does not automatically make them true or nudist(s).
I guess you had to learn that the hard way.Problem here being is that there are just to many F**King LIARS on here.
Oh By The Way, Welcome to the Internet.
I will use my cam in the TN Chat area. But I don't accept requests to continue on Skype or any other medium. It's clear the person wants to do something that the TN guidelines don't allow.
It's not TN's fault some people are jerks/liars etc.
Stay within the confines of TN and your troubles should be diminished.
There was a trucking company in Phoenix that had a made up Latin motto as part of its logo. It said "Illegitimi Non Carborundum". In other words it meant don't let the bastards grind you down. The same thing can be applied here. The fakes and trolls will always be with us. We must always keep going after them as best we can. It'll be a never ending battle because they seem to breed like rats but to do nothing will be to throw away all that is good with the site with nothing to show for it. Right now we have too much to lose to not try to keep them in check. I just wish we could get more help from the owners.
OK, I changed it but I noticed that there were several different variations of this mock Latin expression. Thank you for finding that item describing the history of the expression. I sort of wondered where that trucking company got that saying.
