The upgrades sound very promising, wondering if it will be a "big bang" or slow metamorphosis? I reckon most of the complaints were out of frustration; since you (TT2) came on the scene the responce time to flaggings has increased greatly. So much so that on my daily visits to the "another day" thread there has very often not been anything left there that has not been dealt with. Therefore when one of you apparently went awol it became very obvious.
Someone picked up on TT2's use of the word "us" in on of the items, what you have to remember is that both TT1 & TT2 are members/users of the site as well; so I guess the "us" would include everyone.
Well since a good forum should have some balance I'll be the bad guy here. First, it is nice to see some type of message from TT1 or TT2, I am well aware that it does take work to run a good web site. As to a few comments made here about the thread to withhold donations, well, it was after that thread, and a few other sites speaking of site issues, went up that we are now told of improvements. I would like to think improvements were coming already, but.......
A few solid members here have suggested to power to control picture, I would suggest a limit. There is no need for more the 10 or 20. The user can always take some down to put new ones up.
Some of what is said is coming, we already have. Pick and chose what other members can see, every member should have to have a minimum amount shown that can not be hiden. Not all the profile, but part of it.
What about deleting more of the dead accounts, I don't think too many forums would be distrupted, and there are ways around that as well
What about sending in a profile pic that can not be changed, as it stands, send in to pics, get certified, then change the name an the pictures, bob from wherever is now suzy, 18, from home town usa. How about to be certifed you need a cam, and if asked by a mod, you have to turn it on at least for a face to face with them.
Here is one, under status, get rid of " its complicated" , what is that any way, you are with someone or your single.
Get rid of the who is the most viewed deal on the opening page. Also, some of the pictures of the right side are pics bought off another site, may have had a place at one time, during start up, but if your going to have them they should be of current members who have ok'd it.
Have another option for being certified, several reasons for that, One, you asking someone to send in nude pictures to you on your word that they will be deleted, if they promise to delete yours would you send them? Quick answer , NO Way. We own the site, and many here will say they have never done anything with theirs, and maybe, but still. A mod doing a cam verification works even better and should be an option. What about if someone goes thru the effort to meet a Mod face to face, but choses not to send in a picture, someone who has never been out of the bathroom nude but sent in two pics is certified and they aren't......Really.
TT2 stated she can not keep up, I can understand your busy, but there are "Real Nudists" in their area that would help out. NO control would be lost, they would be under TT1 and TT2's supervision, and it would cost nothing. Is it they have have no Trust in others, even though they are right there supervising? But yet they are asking for other to trust them with their pics. Nudist in their area that belong on the site, willing to be vetted, interviewed, and you can't or won't trust them?
I , along with many others, would love to see a cleaner site, we have enough bells and whistles, we need less of the pervert types, less trolls, more mods. With that mod statement I would like to add I think the mods do a good job, and it is a very hard job. I would like to see on thing added to the line saying so and so was booted, that being so and so was booted for inapproaite pm if it was a pm. Something happens in the chat room, most know what happened of can guess.
Well any way, again, thats my two cents, and sorry I did seem to jump around a little, will try to be more concise next time. On the final note, again, nice to hear something from admin and hats of to the mods we do have, get them some more help.
Suggestions are fine. What I don't get is the ultimatums ands threats to create a new site to compete, issued to a privately owned website. Sound and fury, signifying nothing. If you've reached that point, then you should follow through and leave instead of sounding off like a mad martinet. It reminds me of the people who rave on against Obama socialism and then complain when their benefit cheques are late.
One suggestion I have for improving the moderation of the chat room (assuming that it can not be guaranteed to be 24/7); would be to have a button in the room that could be pressed and a message sent. This message would go to a communal mailbox and a message sent to the mods (these messages could maybe change colour when the problem has been dealt with. So that the next mod in would see which offences need attention. I have no knowledge of programme writing so consequently no idea if it is actually possible.

Absolutely it's *possible* but I would argue that better, is for all mods to be totally anonymous, and with no notification that they are ever present, or not.
Kinda like stepping in a snake pit. Do you chance violating the rules because you *think* the snake might not be there ?
Or do you always fly right, whether they are there or not, because they might be ?
I'm not so sure I like anyone taking any action based on hear-say.
