You must be overwhelmed
While I commend your efforts, it looks like you are fighting a losing battle.
It seems that the majority of recent posts to groups that I am a member of are fakes or spammers and unfortunately the owners of this site can't or won't do anything about protecting what little integrity this site may have left. The latest trend is to have fake profiles providing testimonials for @danielle_entrepreneur. I am sure it is the same person with multiple usernames posting these.
I truly regret paying for a lifetime membership, since as the fakes increase, the legitimate members quit posting.
Could it be that the owners of this site are somehow profiting from the fakes and spammers? That is the only reason I can see letting them freely ruin this site. Almost all the fakes list team true 1 and/or 2 as friends. Am I the only one that is suspicious of this?
While I agree that we have a serious problem, I am not sure who is to blame.
Who is responsible for the content of groups?
I thought it was the group monitors.
If so, they are the ones who are not doing their jobs.
The Forum has very few of the problem posts, so the site administrators may be doing theirs.
Some of these groups either no longer have moderators or they are not active. It is up to the owners of this site to weed out the fakers and the ONLY way to do it is to require members to be certified or paid members to post here. Obviously exceptions could be made for long time contributing members, but as long as this site is a free for all for all the fakes and spammers it will continue to decline. I am a member of several groups open only to certified members. Granted they only have less than half the posts, but they are all legitimate posts and not fakes or spammers.
To the best of my knowledge to get certified you have to provide a copy of the your driver's license. I am not comfortable doing so and I would suspect that many others feel the same way. I am a paid life member.
Like I said, Paid members, especially paid lifetime members and long term contributors should be allowed. Mainly a rule like that would be to prevent the new fakes, bots and scammers/spammers. After a rule like that is established then the owners / site moderators could delete the remaining fake members......if they wanted to

Sounds good to me.
Not at all. I first joined this site back in 2018 not really knowing what to expect and to my pleasant surprise, I met and began corresponding with some really cool nudists, many of whom are now close personal friends as weve been able to meet and even travel together. Then COVID hit - I contacted Long Covid and have been sick since 2020. I ended up quitting the site in 2021 after receiving more and more propositions for dates, requests for help with everything from cell phones to groceries to gas - I repeatedly reported this mess to Team morons 1 & 2 and got nothing back. Now in a weak moment and missing my legitimate friends from TN, I came back a couple weeks ago and the shitstorm that has befallen me is nothing short of ridiculous. I have found many old friends and even made a couple of new ones, but the majority of people Ive met are fakes and scammers - in the last two weeks alone, Ive had requests to buy a new phone so we can communicate better, $152 for groceries and gas money and $162 for electricity and phone bills - all of these women claim to be just a few miles from where I live here in Vermont - they've ALL lost their parents and many live with their grandparents yet claim to be in their 30s plus. Between the backstories and the broken English, one must wonder. Theres no reason that we cant all be certified or vetted somehow as a prerequisite for being on the site - even porn and dating sites require at least an email verification process. These guys dont even do that. Im so tired of this because there are literally thousands and thousands of dating sites and God knows how many porn sites out there and why cant we just have ONE place?!?!?!
You summed it up well, but don't expect it to get better anytime soon. I have said long ago that the business model of this site and it's sister site True Swinger of offering $99. lifetime memberships is not sustainable long term. I am not a MBA by any stretch of the imagination, but it is obvious that the income stream from the way this site is set up eventually declines. Of course the clusterfuck that this site is becoming will discourage any potential new legitimate members from joining, or at least purchasing lifetime memberships but the dozen or so spammers, scammers, whores, hookers and such that join weekly has to be providing Team 1 and/or2 some form of benefit$ since all the fakes have at least one of them and most of them have both as "friends"
Obviously this site is becoming Spamorama which is such a shame since as you stated there are (were) a lot of very nice people here, and I have met a few of them in person at the beach and other events. Unfortunately, many are leaving, and hardly any new ones are joining.
In lieu of letting the spammers run roughshod over this site, perhaps allowing a small amount of legitimate advertisements, requiring member certification or some kind of vetting as you mentioned would make this site financially sustainable and return it to what it was originally intended for. I know we all hate advertisements, but I would rather see a banner ad on the top o the page than all the spam posts. Would a banner ad for something like a nudist resort, nude cruise or other nudist related business with links be an improvement over what this site has become? I am not a marketing expert either, but it seems to make sense.
Obviously, this site would have to be cleaned up quite a bit before it would be saleable to potential advertisers.
Of course I may miss all of the beautiful young women lusting after my nude body. LOL. Still has not happened at the nude beach though :-(

I would be OK with certification of some kind, just not requiring submission of an image of both sides of the driver's license.
Don't know about FL, but in NJ, there are few women who go to the nude beach and most of the ones who do are some combination of plain looking, older or with a male partner.
I know from experience from dating sights , even the so called reputable ones) that a lot of the fake profiles are generated from the site themselves and that even once you leave and delete your profile the sites still uses you profile just to make it look more active than it is and to give the illusion of a consent flow of new members to keep your interested and not leave.
Ive even been matched up with myself with an old profile I use from another site .
Ive noticed a constant flow of young woman so called joining this site daily often with the same photo but different names . The monitors must be aware of this and encourage it . Many have full frontal nude pictures . Now I know when I join I had to prove a clothed photo of myself before I was allowed to join
Not these women apparently?
