I am new to this site but have enjoyed my stay thus far. It seems a great many members are honestly, if not fervently, trying to promote an environment which fosters cohesion, learning and friendship. I understand problems that exist are inherent to a site such as this. However, I do not believe that the panacea is to "jump ship." I subscribe to the maxim: (paraphrased) If one is not part of the solution, one must be part of the problem.
Hi NtheBuff and All contributors to this thread,
I am new here, in fact only joined two days ago, and have spent what seems like hours checking the site out, I've read so many posts now covering many subjects that I have now forgotten how I got to this site. Most of what I have read leans towards Members complaining about a whole gambit of problems appertaining to this site.
What I do not understand is why such importance is made on uploading images/photos to Member's galleries. As long as there is a verified photo of the Member on the Profile page (which should be verified by the production of a Passport or Identity card - a copy of which would be filed by Management for the period of the Membership) there should be no need for other images to be stored in galleries. I would actually take the galleries out of the equation. I see this site as a place to be in touch with like minded people by the written word - there are masses of sites on the net that cater for photo albums if that is what people want. Personally, I am happy to be able to see one photo of the person I am communicating with or not as the case may be and that photo does not need to be a naked photo.
I don't know if it is me but I fail to see how me sending two photos, one clothed and one nude with "truenudist: " AND my EXACT username written on a piece of paper/card in front of me proves it is ME - you have no way of verifying that name belongs to that person in the photos. Someone please explain that for me. That can not happen when you are confronted with my photo along with my name and date of birth as with my Passport/Identity Card.
A lot of interest in this site by the bad Members would go if they knew they would not be able to ogle the thousands of nude photos sitting in Members galleries.
I have had a good look in the Forum and in the Groups and it is evident from the number of replies that are made (the majority have 0 replies) as compared with the number of viewings each post has, that many Members are not here to input replies, they are here to source fruitful opportunities and ogle photos.
I can pretty well guarantee that if Management put the above into action 99% of the problems this site is having would disappear. Not one of these Fakes or Pervs would entertain belonging to a site which has a copy of their passport on file ready to pass on to the Police if need be.
I am sure many of you will not agree with me but unless action is taken soon to correct the problems many of the legitimate Members will leave and the baddies will still be doing what they are doing now.
Please accept my apologies if I have upset anyone, there is no intent on my part, I just prefer to say it as I see it which of course may not be how you see it.
Regards to All

The certification process does not prove identity, but it does make it more difficult for a casual visitor to mis-represent themselves as a nudist when they aren't.
Imagine trying to get a picture of someone else both clothed and naked and then super-imposing your truenudist ID on it and make it look like it's being held by them. Sure someone could pull this off, but it's very unlikely. I'd venture that very few (if anyone) has gone to this amount of trouble to disguise themselves just to get certified. Most pervs will go to another site where the pickings are easier.
Certification adds a level of assuredness, but you are right it does not prove identity. I'm more comfrtable to certify without revealing my true identity, I wouldn't trust this site with any identity document that could be stolen by a hacker and used to steal my identity. Sure it'd keep the pervs out, but it would also keep the vast majority of legitimate members away as well.
I think it would help to get rid of most of these profiles that have no picture, clothed or nude. No profile info and no friends. Only a name. Also affter talking with the individual a couple of times an all he wants to do is talk about your kids, I would notify the police and perhaps they could montor his profile and user name. Get him in a sting operation for child porn.
I was not suggesting Photoshop or any other photo editing software.
These people are more often than not acting with their friends, even in gangs, so I would think it would be so easy to get their friend to have his picture taken with the other guys Username so you might have the correct name (that is if a correct name was used - again no way to verify it without a legal document/Passpost/Identity Card) but impossible to put a face/photo to that name. Any police records would only have details on either the correct name belonging to the Username or have the photo on file tied to a completely different name.
I get the impression anyway that many Members, including some decent Members do not provide a true name when signing up for Membership to these type of sites. This is not something I ever do, I want people to know who I am and that they are MY thoughts that are being expressed. So in the above scenario the only true part of the documentation would be the face/photo with no searchable name to affix it to.
These people would be aware long before signing-up what would be required - everything, signup name and photo could/would be false from the word go!
