Rules and Guidelines for Chat/Pictures/Forums and how to Self-Police

11 months ago

Following are all the rules and guidelines for Chat, Forum and Picture Posting in one easy place.  If the rules are broken there are self-policing procedures and actions that can be taken.  I`ve included those as well.  TT1 has created a really nice site for nudists/naturists to be able to communicate.  Now let`s do our part and help him keep it that way!
 
"Photo Guidelines..Please follow them (Can be found on your profile when you go to edit picture)
1. Your profile photo must contain you. Afterwards you may upload any photos you like
2. Please no erection shots, crotch shots or pornographic photos
3. No Spread Eagle, or shots where the butt, genitals or anus are the main
focus point.
4. Images containing nudity can not contain anyone under the age of 18.
5. As of 1/7/09 we are no longer approving pictures that contain only genitals,
If you choose not to show your face then you may not show your genitals.
6. All Photos are approved at the discretion of the administrator. If your
picture is denied, upload a different one.


Chat Room Rules and Regulations (This is what you are agreeing to before you enter the chat room)
1.  No Sexual Discussion, or Sexual Activities on Chat
2.  No Crotch Shots. Faces on cam please.
3.  If you do not want to be seen on your cam. Do not use it. Your cam is
     visible to all users.
4.  Please talk nice. No trolling.
5.  Flag users who do not follow the rules.
6.  Have Fun!


Rules for posting on forum (Can be found right here on the forum)
- Sexually Suggestive Topics will be deleted.
- Topics promoting Other websites or deemed SPAM will be deleted.
- Trolling or posts deemed to be rude will be deleted
- No pornographic links
- Although it is not a deletable offense, please refrain from use of profanity.
- Any members unable to follow these rules will have their account locked on
the forum, or account deleted depending on severity.

Self-policing Steps

11 months ago

***THIS IS A SELF-POLICING/SELF-MONITORING SITE. PLEASE FOLLOW THE RULES. IF SOMEONE IS NOT FOLLOWING THE RULES  OR IS BEHAVING IN AN ABUSE MANNER TOWARDS YOU, IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILTY AS A MEMBER  IN GOOD STANDING TO TAKE THE APPROPRIATE ACTIONS***

Any site is only as good as its members - old or new.  When a person (male or female) is not willing to follow the rules/policies/guidelines/etiquette set forth by the creator of the site and exhibits inappropriate or offensive behavior, then it is up to the "abused" member (old or new) to follow the guidelines that are in place to curtail such behavior.
 
 
1. a.  PICTURES - Politely let the person know that their picture is against the policies of the site, send them an email letting them know. (I suggest doing it politely. The person in question may be unaware that what they have displayed is against the rules.)
b. If that does not work flag their profile. (Please be sure that you are very careful that the person in question has truly broken a rule.  Abuse of the flagging system can also get you banned)
c. If the pictures still are not removed report the abusive/offensive behavior in an email to: abuse@truenudists.com

2. CHAT ROOM MASTURBATORS – FLAG THEM IMMEDIATELY. (Should also be reported to: abuse@truenudists.com)

3. UNDER AGE PROFILES – FLAG THEM IMMEDIATELY
 
4. When you enter the chat room, REMEMBER that one of the rules you are agreeing to before you enter the room is to FLAG AND REPORT ANY MEMBER WHO IS BREAKING THE RULES.  If you don’t you are, in essence, breaking the rules yourself as that is part of what you agreed to do before entering the room.
 
 
5. Allow site admin some time to take care of, address, resolve the issue at hand.  Remember there are currently over 20,000 members.  Especially when it comes to pictures, there are grey areas as to what is deemed appropriate and unless it is a FLAGRANT disregard of the rules, it may take several flags before it’s deemed necessary to ban a person’s profile.
 
As one must be 18 to be a member of this site, we would assume that one would be mature enough to take responsibility for their own actions/reactions and act accordingly. The same social mores and tenets that exist socially (on the net or off the net) in the textile world apply to THIS nudist site. Let’s all work together and with site admin to keep this site a friendly place for "true nudists"!
 
Thank you,
 
Jen

Well done...now lets hope they take the time to read it.

The ones who belong here will, the ones who don`t belong here won`t. And that will make it easier for them to get flagged and banned.

Be true to yourself and always show love to others, especially when they don`t warrant or deserve it.

Rules and Guidelines

Steve and Jenn both make a good point  and thoughts for this. I`m sure my wife would get in chat if she felt a bit safer. We have been nude socially with Steve and Jenn on a few occasions the last being my wifes birthday.

Hugs to you both,

Re OBSCENE POST Template.
 
Many of you will not know, that an obscene thread was posted here to-day. It has been flagged and hopefully TT will soon see it and swiftly delete it.
 
I would like to thank Jen (cuddlebutton) for her excellent response, which I will paste here for future use.
 
Should it happen again, I suggest that you cut and paste Jen`s response from here onto the offending blog and especially make sure that you CHANGE the title as this will help identify it for TT when it falls back onto the forum list. Jen also then proceeded to "bump" the offending thread off the home page and out of sight. 
 
Thanks again Jen, excellent example of self policing IN ACTION!  :)
 
Phil.


 
 
 
RE: PLEASE REMOVE THIS THREAD IMMEDIATELY! 



                    ************EVERYONE - DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS POST !*************


IT ONLY CAUSES IT TO REMAIN IN THE FORE FRONT OF THE HOME PAGE AND ATTRACT THE WRONG TYPE OF ATTENTION.
INSTEAD FLAG THE PROFILE.  NO NEED FOR "POLITE" WARNINGS.
WHEN THIS MESSAGE FIRST APPEARED HERE THIS MORNING THIS PERSON ONLY HAD ONE "FRIEND".  NOW THIS PERSON HAS 6 FRIENDS. A GOOD WARNING TO ALL TO BE VERY SCEPTICAL BEFORE ACCEPTING FRIENDSHIPS OF AN UNFILLED OUT PROFILE.

We are new members and will definitely be keeping up with the rules.  It is what has attracted us to this site over any of the others.  Every other "nudist" site we found had spam of a sexual nature. Anywyay thank you for the vigilance Jenn and nice to meet you.

Who worship nature, grand and nude,
And who with swift indignant hand
Tear off the fig leaves of the prude. -Robert Ingersoll

A lot of what has been stated so far in RULES is just common courtesy and it seems a shame to us that people have to be reminded to be polite.
Just thought we`d throw in our two-penny`s worth in.
