<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.
|
|

<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!
|
|

<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.
|

<h3>Is this website open source?</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Yes! The source code is currently hosted on the author's personal Git server. It
|
|
will eventually have a GitHub mirror and accept pull requests from the community.
|
|
In the mean time, contact the site owner to get a link to the public git repo.
