Not sure if this is the right place to ask this...
I have read the rules and the FAQ. I was just wondering roughly how many posts it takes to get to full member status (private messages, profile viewing, galleries etc.). I don't want to game the system and I'm not going to spam you to pimp my post count or anything, I just want to know what to expect. The rules that you have make a lot of sense - probably why this forum has such a pleasant atmosphere. I'm just hoping that it's 50s of posts rather than 100s and 100s of posts. Or weeks rather than months. It's not just the features though, it's the gesture of being granted that privilege. Please don't take this question the wrong way. This is me admiring your community and wanting to be a full part of it, not me wanting to look at your nekkid pictures, as you say elsewhere on your site, there are far easier ways.

Only time will tell!
-
The real answer is how well we get to know you which is determined by your activity. It shouldn't take long if you feel comfortable enough to post in most discussions or threads, it's all up to you to help us get to know you better.
-
Generally, as long as the gallery is not all you want (for obvious rerasons), you might find yourself integrated sooner than you expect...
-
The restricted access for new members is purely a safety consideration. It give us a chance to check out newbies and see what they are like, reasons for being here etc before trusting them with access to profiles and such. I hope you understand. You access will be granted as you continue on your way in the community.

Also, pretty much everybody tends to forget about the gallery shortly after being granted access to it. It's not very central to the board.

Thanks for making the situation clearer :) It all makes a lot of sense.

Oh yeah…forgot abou those galleries. Need to add more to them!!

Just want to make sure I'm not hallucinating... Does the blue navigation bar at the top of the page gradually grow? Because I'm pretty sure I didn't have a "Members" link before...

Well that means that the members list is now open to you. Yes there are some that are hidden from the public member, and that are only needed by staff, so yes it does grow when you post more when you're a new member
-
Newbies and posters, thankyou all very much for asking the questions, and answering them. Thats the best way!

Mods and admins, have you thought about moving this thread to your FAQs section? I would have thought that a lot of new members would wonder what the deal was with this.
-
It doesn't say anything? Thought it at least said something. I know that mods and admins probably dont want to put an exact number on the full membership bc some people might just mass post to inflate their post number and get earlier access to the bonus stuff.
-
i was lucky as i was referred here by another member so got quicker access. but a previous poster was right in saying you forget about the galleries soon after getting access. i had a look at all the pics and now check in a couple times a month maybe but thats about it. If i'm honest i'm fairly busy so only get time to come on the forum intermittently but i do enjoy it when I can get on
-
I'd be the same, have one big splurge of sorts as far as looking in goes, then I'd settle down and maybe check out what's new now and then, but I'm in this to get connected and stay that way. Though I did recently did the whole nearly spam posting thing, though it wasn't to boost my numbers, I just wanted to make sure the minor issue I had with my membership was more likely to bee seen by someone who could fix it. I actually don't spam post to boost my numbers and skip to the good stuff, my brain just forgets to slow down, stop rambling, and not post so bloody much silliness. I'm also taking a few decent nude pics of myself and posting them here, but dash nervous. I don't have the best self body image.
-
Hey I was just wondering where I stand with everyone right now. I'm sure I've gotten over my initial craziness, and now I see that if I post something in ONE place it will be seen. I'm sorry for being so annoying before, I have my bearings now so it won't be a problem anymore.
-
You'll get there if you just let it happen naturally. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the journey.
-
Thanks Bobbert, was a bit worried I'd damaged things with my erratic behaveiour.
-
I noticed my status has been changed to king of the trash can. Am I in trouble? I've been really trying to be good. I thought I had been. I'm still trying. I'm always trying to be better.

Your posts are gathering so much moderator attention that the trash can is basically full of your posts. It does not mean that you are about to enter the can yourself, though I would suggest that, before posting, you take a few seconds to think about whether people would like to read it.
-
Oh, didn't think or know it was still so bad. Though, a public icon saying king of the trash bin? Really guys? I'm the first to say I should and am trying to be better, and I really am, but this seems a little cruel in a public way, don't you think? Sure I'm glad to still be here, though I don't think public humiliation is an effective way of improving someone's behaveiour. Seems more apt to cause a little retreating into one's self. Just my own two cents. And yes, I'm the last person to talk about other people's attitudes, but who really deserves a public title such as this? Do nice people do this? :324
-
The public label has been removed for now. Please refrain from making too many trashcan-worthy posts in the future, though.
-
Thanks a lot, and I promise to do my absolute best and not let you down. I don't want to seem like I'm pushing my luck here, and though I'm understandably still not allowed PMs at this time, would it be alright if I had access to the galleries? Of course I don't plan to spend a lot of time in there, just would be nice to be able to go in now and then and see the difference between other "naturism/nudism" pictures I've seen and more of the positive stuff. As I've mentioned before it's not the most important thing in the world to me, so it won't be the end of the world if you guys don't think I'm quite ready yet. Cheers everyone, James.

I must remind you that gallery access and PM's are privileges and not a right, so begging won't get you there.
Just enjoy your time here, discuss on the boards, and have fun. When you will be on the right path the doors will open in front of you. :34567
Or, as Bobbert already told you: Sit back, relax, and enjoy the journey.
-
Sounds fair enough, but I would like to point out I wasn't begging, just merely respectfully asking. It doesn't much matter to me if or when I gain such access, I was merely asking if the option was available, which you've already answered. Please do not misunderstand the intent of my questions. You've answered me and I'm leaving it alone.
-
a public "king of the trashbin" label seems to me a very unpolite thing to do :0988. Guess I'd just sign off if that was ever ascribed unto me. Nice of you to have stayed, jlaidler :)
-
Thank you for that Bluetrain. I appreciate your support, I shall always wear it. Ha ha, Goon Show joke there.

As you correctly pointed out, we are keeping an eye on how ready you are. While the point when you will be given various privileges is ultimately up to us - it is up to you, too. Be a positive contributor and you will be integrated into our community including access to things you cannot see yet, demonstrate an inability to adapt to the community and things will go the other way. I urge you to keep both options in mind, and maybe one day you will be treated like a regular member with a tenure like yours. Please also keep in mind that with the negative attention you have attracted already, we will be less lenient than with other members, so please stay out of trouble in the future. You will not get off with a silly title next time.

And as I pointed out earlier, most people check the gallery once and then forget it exists.

What does your pisitin mean? I'm topfree and not sure what it means or if it can be changed.
You cannot edit that. It changes automatically as your post count increase. No need to worry about that. ;) :9090

You can see a discussion we had about those titles here: http://internationalyn.org/forum/index.php/topic,6510.0.html (http://internationalyn.org/forum/index.php/topic,6510.0.html)

I'mtp free with 2 star, can anyone tell me what that means?

I got two answers, pick the one you prefer:
1: Nothing important
2: You have more posts than someone with 1 star and less than someone with 3 stars.

You made me spill my coffee, Dan! :63424

Glad I amused you guys

In adding to this question, I'd like to know is there a certain amount of time til I'm able to check out profiles in the interests of making new friends because at the moment I'm unable to access profiles as it keeps saying error
Please let me know
-
I think we have hinted at that in the private message part of the FAQ. Some things regarding personal communication are not available upon registration. The reason is quite simple - a community about young people who want to get naked has the problem of sometimes attracting the wrong people, so you need to get established in here before the more sensitive stuff opens up. Profiles often contain a bit of contact data, so we want to get to know people before we let them read it.
Also, a community like this thrives on contributions to the public discussion, so we want our members to participate in that. We are not a social network like truenudists or skinbook, where it is all about the profiles, we are a forum community where the main focus is on the public discussion. So keep on being an active member and more parts of the forum will open up for you.
-
Thanks for the reply
Totally understandable and logical I've had my experiences with other sites that had the wrong sort, I'll just keep on being a gracious member. Also it makes perfect sense for me because I want to get to know others in a safe environment. So thanks again :)

If I could make a suggestion...
On other forums I visit, if a person doesn't have the privilege of sending PMs, they also cannot recieve them. I've already recieved a message from someone I may have actually met in real life, but I cannot reply. I spent a little while figuring that out. If I couldn't recieve them until I could send them that would make it a bit easier and I wouldn't feel bad about not replying.
Please don't take this as begging to be accepted. It's not, and I assume I'll have at least a couple week trial period.

Great idea! And, thanks for your understanding, and positive attitude!

I think I was a full member But I was viewing the gallery then suddenly I'm not allowed ??!
-
So confused

It is the system, Oli. With some board permissions, comes galleries access of course. In your case, looking back, it detected that while you had access, other then the odd welcome to newbies, there is not much going on for contributions and so, as the FAQ says (read that please on the first page), it was temporarily taken away. Thanks for understanding.

Ok I'm sure you have heard this before and I understand the security reasons of why you limit new members. My question is this however, if I can't view other members profiles and send and revive friend requests how am I to get to now members of the community and forums? The galleries are not really a concern for me because if I want that there are quite literally thousands of places on the net I can find them. However I have looked into nudism networking sites for a little while now and most of them want costly membership fee's which seem unreasonable, and those that dont have such a weak community base that it is hardly worth the effort of trying. I have found this community to be not only welcoming, but also friendly and attentive. Which for me is a diamond in a dung hill to be rough. So in short how does one prove them selves to the administrators more fluidly and rapidly?

I think you will find that once you have interacted with the community i.e. made a few more posts that you will be able to see profiles and make contact with people.
-
Koracks666 it seems you have a wrong view of what we are about. This is not a hook-up site where you troll profiles, set up dates with each other and spend all your time in the gallery like other sites.
When we say to get into the community, we simply mean join in with topics and discussions in the forum. Start topics and have fun. If there are members you seem to have a connection with and think they could be good friends with you, then by all means (when you are able to see profiles) you are welcome to ask them to chat with with you via pm's and outside chat rooms. If they also are happy to, great. If they are not interested then leave them be. That is how we get to know you.
It is not all about the number of posts, but the quality of them as well. If we feel members are making posts purely to increase their count, we can and do take action to counter that method.
Likewise if one of our other members makes you feel uncomfortable via unwelcome messages or comments, please let us know and we will deal with it.
-
Indeed, what Toddo said. This community is not a social networking site like Truenudists or Skinbook (or sites like Myspace and Facebook in the textile world), it is, first of all, a forum. Public discussion is the primary form of interaction here.
-
I didn't realist there were different levels of membership. Has this changed since this discussion started?
