Paid v certified profile

So I'm a member on here for the last two mouths I'm on almost everyday I don't say much.
The web site is pushing pay for a sub and get certified,
I see some people certified and not pay and some pay and not certified. What is the different between them and what are the perks they give you, I just want to know from members are they worth it?

If so is it better to have one or the other or both?

Certified is at least an indication that you are who you say you are. Not fool proof, but at least an indication. Paid simply shows you are willing to support the site. Each is independent of the other. Each gives you slightly more access than not having it. Certification to those forums and groups that require it, Paid to more of the gallery.

I choose not to be certified because I don't post pictures on any forum.

On a side note I prefer to pm people be for I accept a friend request. I don't like having a large list of friends that I don't talk to but three or four.

I had a weird experience with it. I went through the process to get certified, was accepted, and then a couple days later kicked out of certification with the excuse that my member number sign was not visible. Now I could plainly see the number on it in my photo, and it was initially accepted by someone. So I do not understand why the reject after a couple days as certified. It would appear that there were two reviewers of applications, first one accepted it, second one had poor eyesight. My idea was to get certified and then perhaps consider supporting a bit. But after that experience I decided it wasn't worth the effort and have not attempted again. And they lost my future support be that action. If they want it they can get back with me and apologize for rejecting a legitimate member on a nonsense technicality. After all, there are several other naturist forums I'm a member of, I don't need to be here, I'm just here as a casual social visitor.
