<h1>General FAQs</h1>
|
|
|
|
<h3>What does certification mean, and what is a "verification selfie"?</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This website requires all members to be "certified" or proven to be real human beings
|
|
on the other side of the keyboard. A "verification selfie" is where you take a picture
|
|
of yourself holding onto a hand-written note on a sheet of paper to prove that you are
|
|
a real person (and not just catfishing with somebody else's stolen photos).
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Certification helps protect our members from harassment by anonymous trolls or automated
|
|
spam robots that plague other similar sites.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Do I need to send a "verification selfie"?</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Yes.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Certification is required before you can gain access to the greater community on this
|
|
website. Pre-certification, you may only access your own profile page and settings, but
|
|
can not browse the member list, see the site Photo Gallery, or participate on the forums
|
|
until your profile has been certified.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>What can non-certified members do?</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Before you have an approved certification photo, you can mainly only access and edit your
|
|
own profile page, and upload a few pictures while you await approval. Your pictures won't
|
|
be shown to members on the Site Gallery until you're certified, and most of the website's
|
|
features (namely, the Forums, Site Gallery and Member Search Directory) are gated behind
|
|
certification.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Certified members may, at their own discretion, be able to find your profile page by
|
|
browsing the Member Directory. They may send you a friend request or reach out to you.
|
|
Or, if you happen to know a member's profile URL on this site, you (the non-certified
|
|
member) can view their profile page and photo gallery (depending on their privacy
|
|
settings), send them a friend request or direct message. But basically, it will be
|
|
difficult to discover users to interact with until after you are certified - and
|
|
this is intentional to help guard against spam bots and creepy people.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>What are the visibility options for my profile page?</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
There are currently three different choices for your profile visibility on your
|
|
<a href="/settings">Settings</a> page:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
The <strong>default</strong> visibility is <strong class="has-text-success-dark">"Public + Login Required."</strong> Users must be
|
|
logged-in to an account in order to see anything about your profile page - if an
|
|
external (logged out) browser visits your profile URL, they will be redirected to
|
|
log in to an account first.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
You may optionally go <em>more</em> public with a <strong class="has-text-warning-dark">"Limited Logged-out View."</strong>
|
|
This enables your profile URL (e.g.,
|
|
{{if .LoggedIn}}<a href="/u/{{.CurrentUser.Username}}?view=external">/u/{{.CurrentUser.Username}}</a>{{else}}/u/username{{end}})
|
|
to show a <em>basic</em> page (with your square profile picture and display name) to
|
|
logged-out browsers. This may be useful if you wish to link to your page from an external
|
|
site (e.g. your Twitter page) and present new users with a better experience than just
|
|
a redirect to login page.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
You may <strong class="has-text-private">"Mark my profile as 'private'"</strong> to
|
|
be private even from other logged-in members who are not on your Friends
|
|
list. Logged-in users will see only your square profile picture and display
|
|
name, and be able only to send you a friend request or a message.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>

<h1>Photo FAQs</h1>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Do I have to post my nudes here?</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Do I have to include my face in my nudes?</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
You don't have to! I know many nudists are not comfortable with their face appearing
|
|
in their nudes. You are free to post "headless torso shots" or leave your face
|
|
covered or censored. But you should have at least one face pic (as your default profile
|
|
pic) - it can be a G-rated selfie!
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you're only comfortable with posting like close-up dick pics, please mark those pics
|
|
as "explicit" -- many nudists prefer to see the <em>whole</em> nude body and don't
|
|
want to see just dick pics everywhere. And don't set those as your default profile pic!
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>What appears on the Site Gallery?</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The "<strong><i class="fa fa-image"></i> Gallery</strong>" link on the site nav bar goes to the Site-wide
|
|
Photo Gallery page. Here is shown all of the <strong>public</strong> photos uploaded by
|
|
all (certified) users, if those pictures are also opted-in to appear on the Gallery in
|
|
their settings.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you have friends on here, you may also see their "Friends-only" photos on the Site
|
|
Gallery. This way, you don't miss any updates if your friends add a new picture (so
|
|
long as they allow their picture to appear on the Gallery).
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
When you upload a picture you may opt it in or out of the Gallery by checking a box on
|
|
its settings page. For example, you can upload a Public photo but opt it <em>out</em> of
|
|
the Gallery -- it will then only appear on your profile page.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>What is considered "explicit" in photos?</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
On this website, I make a fairly common distinction between what's a "normal nude" and
|
|
what's an "explicit" photo:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
"Normal nudes" are completely non-sexual in nature. If there's a penis, it's not
|
|
erect and it's not being grabbed. "Normal nudes" are not close-up pictures that
|
|
focus on the genitals, but tend to be full body shots of a non-sexual nature.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
"Explicit" posts are everything else: if it includes an erection, or you're
|
|
grabbing your junk, or flashing your various holes, or masturbating or engaging
|
|
in a sexual activity, these all fall under the "explicit" umbrella. If one would
|
|
reasonably consider it to be porn, it's explicit.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
You are permitted to upload explicit content to your profile, just mark which pictures
|
|
are explicit to help the rest of the community in case someone prefers not to see that.
|
|
You can enable a setting on your profile if you are comfortable with seeing explicit
|
|
content from other users -- by default this site is "normal nudes" friendly!
|
|
</p>

<h1>Forum FAQs</h1>
|
|
|
|
<h3>What do the various badges on the forum mean?</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
You may see some of these badges on the forums or their posts. These are their meanings:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<span class="tag is-danger is-light">
|
|
<span class="icon"><i class="fa fa-fire"></i></span>
|
|
<span>Explicit</span>
|
|
</span> -
|
|
on a forum it means the entire forum is "<abbr title="Not Safe For Work">NSFW</abbr>";
|
|
but individual topics within an otherwise non-explicit forum may also opt in to the
|
|
Explicit tag if its content is border-line. You will not see any Explicit forums or
|
|
posts unless you opt-in to see explicit content in your <a href="/settings">settings</a>.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<span class="tag is-warning is-light">
|
|
<span class="icon"><i class="fa fa-gavel"></i></span>
|
|
<span>Privileged</span>
|
|
</span> -
|
|
only a forum's moderators can create new topics in a Privileged forum (such as the
|
|
forum for Site Announcements). Moderators include the site admins, the creator of
|
|
the forum, and any additional moderators appointed by the forum creator.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<span class="tag is-success is-light">
|
|
<span class="icon"><i class="fa fa-thumbtack"></i></span>
|
|
<span>Pinned</span>
|
|
</span> -
|
|
these forum posts are pinned to the top of a forum, appearing above regular posts
|
|
on the first page of the forum.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<span class="tag is-warning is-light">
|
|
<span class="icon"><i class="fa fa-ban"></i></span>
|
|
<span>No Reply</span>
|
|
</span> -
|
|
topics with this badge can not accept any new replies. Some types of announcement
|
|
posts may start with this badge from the beginning; other threads that are locked
|
|
by a moderator may gain this badge if the conversation was going off the rails.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Can I create my own forums?</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This feature is coming soon! Users will be allowed to create their own forums and
|
|
act as moderator within their own board. The forum admin pages need a bit more
|
|
spit & polish before it's ready!
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Some related features with managing your own forums will include:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
You'll be able to make your forum "invite-only" if you want, where only approved
|
|
members can see and reply to threads.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
You'll be able to choose other users to help you moderate your forum. As the forum
|
|
owner, you'll retain admin control of your forum unless you assign ownership away
|
|
to another member.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>

<h1>Technical FAQs</h1>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Why did you build a custom website?</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Other variants on this question might be: why not just run a
|
|
<a href="https://joinmastodon.org" target="_blank">Mastodon</a> instance? Or why
|
|
this website and not a Discord server or MeWe group or <em>insert off-the-shelf
|
|
free software or hosted web service here</em>?
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
It certainly would've been simpler to just use an off-the-shelf open source app
|
|
such as Mastodon (a decentralized, Twitter-like app) or similar. These apps though
|
|
have a scalability problem: users with their infinitely long timelines will upload
|
|
infinite photos until your server runs out of disk space and not enough of them may
|
|
donate to cover the costs. And the Fediverse feature (Mastodon is like e-mail and
|
|
users from all servers can like, follow and comment on one another across the entire
|
|
network) is a double edged sword too: all my members would need to tag even their
|
|
"normal nudes" as NSFW or else other servers would ban ours (meaning we have to follow
|
|
rules imposed by the wider Internet community), and conversely it is difficult to
|
|
moderate incoming content from other servers showing up on my users' timelines.
|
|
It's not a good fit for the vision I had in mind.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
And on just using a service like Discord or MeWe to host my community: that's still
|
|
putting us in the hands of a corporation which can one day decide to ban all NSFW
|
|
users. Many people run nudist Discords and MeWe groups, but I needed something whose
|
|
fate is kept in my own hands.
