If the admins of the site would do something about it then you might see more certifications take place. Certifying only puts a target on your back because now the scammers know who to stalk.
That's a great point. I haven't become certified because it's simply not worth the professional risk when the site is hacked (or sold) and nude photos associated with real identities show up on the black market.
The number of fake accounts and messages is overwhelming. Almost makes the site useless. As a lifetime member I am very disappointed.In my case I would not call it overwhelming, averages out to one a day. I flag but don't block them and see that someone removes them from my activity and friend request lists.I am no computer wiz. But it should not be that hard to have an auto reject when a phone #, website ,or email is included in new member sign ups.
Exactly. Just clicking flag is enough. Most of profile I have flagged they are removed eventually..

Same for me, or even if a moderator with access to the file is not trustworthy.
I wish I knew how to block them permanently, if only the mods could do something, but that is like finding the broken needle in the stack of hay!
It's a bit too much to ask a moderator to do that job.. You can click on the block button and block people by yourself.
This is a daily problem and does the site's image no good. (But then, neither does the welcome page full of possibly false/stolen photos of nubile naked young women with their legs wide apart. That isn't naturism and I would be banned if I, as a man, did that.) These fake accounts are usually only a day or a few hours old. But not only do I get profile likes from them, I am starting to get direct messages within the Chat Room. I wouldn't mind but the woman only lives about 15 miles away! I would have asked her why she was doing it but she got the huff when I challenged her for recommending a sex webite and didn't know the local nickname for the city she perportedly lives in...!
