Nudism VS pornography

I am new to this site and to expressing myself as a nudist. I am not; however, without respect for the wants, needs and interests of others. Moreover, I think that this site is an inappropriate venue to "pimp" one's personal website. Specifically, one of the "most popular" profiles contains instructions or a link to gain access to her "hustle". I think this is cheap, vulgar and should not be tolerated.

I know I may sound like a sanctimonious AH but I thought this site
was for nudist not pornographers.

As I have been told by TT1 himself, the rules are inforced at the discretion of the administration. So it seems that he likes the nudist in questions hundreds of spreadeagle pics, and so they stay.

I'm new to naturism, only ever do it in my own home. I have been wanting to visit a nudist beach for a while so I joined this site to chat to naturists and I suppose get encouragment etc. However, I've been completely put off, the vast majority of so called naturists are in it for the sex. When you read their profile sexual preferences are stated, people with usernames such as wellendowed, hungand kinky... I could go on. One woman spoke of how she enjoys visiting her local naturist club, then asked me to send a pic of my erection. I'm no prude, but I wish you so called naturists would admit it that you are in it to perv and you get a thrill exposing yourselves, rather than this crap of the freedom etc You just have to look at the forums on here to understand why people do it

I doubt that any of us are prude, yet we have the responsibility of maintaining high standards with high expectations.

Please, let's understand that this is a web site.
At one time,it was generally representative of the true nudist community. It really was !
Over time, the web browsers ( people, not Netscape ) have found it, and mostly annonymously, hiding behind nics such as you mention, have turned this site in what *I* believe is not a nudist direction.
The responsibility lies with the owner/admin to either oppose or endorse such.
By action, ( or inaction ) he shows an intent, whether intended or not.
The old guard "true" nudists have largely stayed ! Many have left. We certainly have been driven into the minority.
As such, there ARE true nudists here from whom you can learn that which you seek. Like many churches, there is truth among the dogma, but it takes a discerning eye to find it.
Do not believe that the majority of members of this site are truly representative of the true nudist. The majority are not.

The bottom line is that *true* nudists are no different than anyone else, except without clothing sometimes, as appropriate.
OK, true nudists are more friendly and accepting, with conservative leanings, and far more tollerant than the general population, because we all know that we ARE a minority, and do seek the companionship and interaction with those who are really "one of us."
I understand why you came to this site. Sadly, I can no longer recommend it as the "best" source of accurate information, unless you dig, and can recognise the true nudists among us.
Stay the quest, grasshopper, but watch out for the frogs !

As have been stated before:

THE COMMUNITY IS A LIVING, BREATHING, CHANGING ENTITY!

With that out of the way yes more and more people do arrive here. There should be regular people on here who just have a voice and let others know what is going on.

Trust me if theres 100 people who flag a user's profile because of a rule-breaking reason aka the user's head is in the gutter. Then yes it should be taken off of the site. The user should be questioned and have the jump through hoops if he or she can even come back here again.

There is a long long thread that is going on to this day as was mentioned earlier in the True Nudist forum about these bad apples popping up all over the place.
It is the good user like yourself who can rid us of the disgusting,vile users who obvious negative intentions who seek to slander a good idea.

Thank you,
~Thomas
