<h3 id="why-certify">Why the hard requirement to certify?</h3>
<p>
<strong class="tag is-success is-light">NEW Sept. 9 2022</strong>
I didn't set out to build "just another social network" that allows for random, faceless, anonymous
people to sign up - you can do that literally anywhere else. This website was designed
<em>specifically</em> to get ahead of what happened with Tumblr, Pornhub and other sites
in recent history. It wasn't just a random whim of Tumblr when they kicked all of the nudists
and other NSFW users off of their platform -- they were pressured to do so by a vocal minority
of anti-porn prudes who have been working their way across the Internet and trying to make sure
that nudists, exhibitionists, porn stars and sex workers have no place at all to exist online.
</p>
<p>
I have been watching how these groups operate. They throw out wild claims that a website like
Tumblr or Pornhub is running rampant with illegal content (such as child sexually abusive material,
human trafficking, revenge porn or so on) and use that as a scapegoat to put pressure on a website
via the banks and advertisers into either bending the knee or shutting down completely. Tumblr elected
to just blanket ban all NSFW users from the platform, Pornhub deleted 80% of all user content from their
site, and Onlyfans nearly fell as well (before they decided instead to require government-issued photo
ID from their members, which I do not want to do).
</p>
<p>
This group wildly exaggerates statistics and misrepresents their finding to push along an agenda
which is <em>really</em> just anti-porn, period; but the fact of the matter is that <em>any</em> wide
open public website that allows random people to just sign up and start posting things will always
technically leave room for those kinds of claims to be thrown around. If a website doesn't require a
user to verify their face, you'll get bad actors who sign up blank, throwaway accounts (probably hiding
behind a VPN, too, to conceal their location) and start spreading god awful things on a site and it becomes
a game of whack-a-mole for site moderators to keep on top of (not to mention the trauma it causes for
moderators who need to deal with all that shit). I don't want <em>any</em> of that nonsense
on this website.
</p>
<p>
The certification requirement should help curb a lot of that and bring some other nice benefits
besides for the other members of this site:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
It will deter blank, faceless profiles from signing up and then sliding into your DMs and getting
all pervy and weird on you. This happens <em>so freaking often</em> on other nudist websites and
nobody likes that - we are here posting our nude pics out in the open and don't want random anonymous
creepers who won't reveal themselves in an equally meaningful way.
</li>
<li>
It will help keep automated spam robots at bay; a non-certified account will have a terrible time
trying to discover any user here that they could send their spam to, as the Forums, Member Directory
and Site Photo Gallery are off-limits to non-certified users.
</li>
<li>
It will keep members accountable: I don't expect anyone would dare upload illegal content here when
their certified face picture is on file.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
I understand that certification may be inconvenient for some members. I know there are plenty of people
for whom it isn't a concern at all. I may be able to work with you on an alternative method for certification;
see the next section, below.

Note, though: this is a social site for {{PrettyTitle}} nudists so you <strong>are</strong>
expected to post at least <em>some</em> pictures of yourself on your profile page. You
could post a face pic wearing a hat and sunglasses; or you could crop out half your face
showing only from the chin down; or you could post full body nudes with your face censored
out with an emoji character.
expected to post at least <em>some</em> pictures of yourself on your profile page. A face
pic (at least a clothed, G-rated selfie) as your default profile picture is highly encouraged,
and the rest of your pics you can leave your face cropped or censored out of. And your profile
picture can be marked private or "friends only" if you like; see below.

You must be comfortable with doing so, yes. On some other nudist social websites, many
nudists have lamented to me about how often they get messages by anonymous, faceless
profiles who slide into their DMs and get all pervy and weird on them. While
{{PrettyTitle}} only requires a face pic and verification selfie, other members will
feel more comfortable if you post some of your own nudes as well.

It's kind of like nude beach etiquette: no nudist at a nude beach enjoys it much when
people arrive who refuse to get naked and they're just there to gawk and be a peeping
tom and perv out over all the naked bodies they see. If you don't want to post any
nudes here, at least don't act weird or creepy with people here.
