Chat Room Moderators: FAQ’sQuite a bit of time seems to be taken up in the chat room with question and answer sessions with the moderators. This becomes repetitive and breaks up the flow of conversation so I’ve put together this list of the most frequently asked questions:Who are the chat room moderators?The chat room moderators are long time members of the site and frequent users of the chat room. We are male, female, married, single or couples ranging in age from 37 – 66, we are from the United States (three different time zones), the United Kingdom and Australia.Why does TN now have chat room moderators?Because Teamtrue1 (the owner of this site) decided it was necessary.Who chose the moderators?TT1 (Teamtrue1 – the site owner).How were the moderators chosen?Some applied, some were nominated and some were asked by TT1.Are the moderators paid?No. We are volunteers. But maybe we’ll get a Christmas bonus! (Just kidding TT1)Are the moderators on TT1’s ”friends list”?Some of us are and some of us aren’t.Will you put in a good word for me so that I can become a moderator?If you’ve applied or have been nominated and TT1 feels it’s necessary to add more chat room moderators, I’m sure he’ll come to us if he wants our opinion. If one of us decides they no longer want the responsibility, we might offer a recommendation as a replacement.Why did someone get “muted”, “kicked” or “banned” from the chat room?Because they broke one of the six rules that TT1 has asked all to agree to before entering the chatroom. Other than that, it is a private issue between the offender, the moderator and TT1. Please don’t ask us. If we had an issue with you, I’m sure you would appreciate us not discussing it with other people in the chat room.What are the rules?If you are in the chat room, you’ve had to click on a button (directly below the six rules) that says:I agree. Please let me in.But just in case you’ve missed them or if you are not a chat room user here, they are: (although, the rules are simple enough, there are some who don’t quite seem to understand them or feel that they are open to interpretation so I have annotated the rules):Chat Room Rules and Regulations:1. No Sexual Discussion, or Sexual Activities on Chat(No Sexual Discussion – this means talk about fetish’s, masturbation, sexual positions, sexual fantasies, what you’d like to “do” to someone, how you want to “do” it, etc. No Sexual Activities on Chat – this means no masturbating on cam, no having sex on cam, no fondling your penis, your breast or your partner, no tying your breasts up, etc.)2. No Crotch Shots. Faces on cam please.(No crotch shots – this means do not point your cam at your crotch, do not make your crotch the focal point of your cam. Faces on cam please – ummm…can’t believe I have to explain this one, but…it’s one of the most argued points in chat. Your face must be visible on the cam. The rest of your body can be visible as long as your face is on cam. This is not a question just because the word please is being used. It is a polite way of telling you that your face must be visible on cam. Afraid of screen captures or video recordings? All of the mods understand this and you have two choices, either show your face from just below the eyes down or follow rule number three)3. If you do not want to be seen on your cam. Do not use it. Your cam is visible to all users.(No explanation is necessary.)4. Please talk nice. No trolling.(No insulting or being rude to other users, refrain from vulgarities, no inciting fights or arguments)5. Flag users who do not follow the rules.(These rules were written before the assignment of moderators – you now have another choice, you can flag the offender or you can report them to a moderator in a private message)6. Have Fun!(Chat can be a really fun place to meet other nudists from around the world, help “newdbies” and to educate those who are curious about nudism/naturalism. One side note, If breaking rules 1 - 4 is your idea of having fun, then you might want to find another chat room)Do the moderators have rules and guidelines to follow?Yes, we do.What are the moderator’s guidelines?At this time, those guidelines are between TT1 and the mods. He will address this question if he chooses to.Can moderators see “private chats”?No. And we really don’t want to. As long as both parties are agreeable to the conversation, the conversation you have with another user in private is just that - private.Can moderators see cams that are set to “private chat”?No.What do I do if someone is saying things to me or showing me things privately that I don’t want to read or see?You have a few options. You can block the user so that they can no longer chat with you and click out of the private chat. You can copy and paste what they are saying to you and put it in a flag message to TT1. If you feel it needs immediate attention you can copy and paste the conversation into a private message to a moderator – they have the means to immediately mute, kick or ban the person if they are breaking any of the rules or being offensive. Please use the copy and paste if you go to a moderator – we do need proof that the person is being offensive or breaking the chat room rules if we are to take action.Please understand if a moderator will not speak in “private chat” with you. It distracts us from our responsibilities and is one of the downfalls of this job. It is easier for us to communicate in a “whisper” when we wish to have private words with a friend. We are all trying to reserve the “private chat” as a place for people to come to us if they have a problem.Remember the moderators are people just like your selves. We are on TN and in the chat room because we enjoy the site, enjoy making friends and enjoy getting to know people via the chatroom. We do NOT enjoy muting, kicking or banning. We’d all really prefer not to have to take those measures. Please, make our jobs easy for us!
