Getting e-mails from male members of the boards

[Boreas]

I have recently disclosed that I am female in order to be able to post on the Women's only section. I never received e-mails from other members of the boards before this. Now I have received two. One from a young man looking to share pictures. Another that wanted to correspond by e-mail. I decided to add that I am happily married as a signature as I have no desire to correspond in this manner.

When I did not have a gender chosen, I did not receive any e-mails. Now that I have disclosed that I am female, I have received some. So, is this perhaps why women do not identify themselves as female? Does anyone else have this happen?

This is supposed to be a non-sexual board. I believe that for the most part it is. Fortunately, I am older and have some self-confidence. What would happen if a young woman decided to "share pictures"? If I were younger I may have been intimidated by this.

I have not had the opportunity to go to a club yet. Does this type of thing happen at clubs? Perhaps this is why single men are not allowed at some venues.

Okay, now I am babbling. I'd love to hear comments and feedback.

Cheers.

I'm sorry to hear of your experience with unwelcome e-mails. Women most definitely receive a great deal of attention on these boards; some because of the dearth of womens' voices here, and some for more prurient reasons. I would be willing to venture a guess that the people who attempted to initiate correspondence with you are not regular posters to these forums, but rather guys trolling for females.

I would also bet that those people, as well as the vast majority of people who visit these boards for that express purpose, aren't even nudists at all. Unfortunately, some clubs and organizations have extrapolated this pattern of behavior to the male gender as a whole.

It's good to know that you're posessed of enough self-confidence to not be intimidated by the behavior of a few trolls.

I'd also like to hear from more of the women here regarding this subject.

I agree with your assessment. I did not recognize the names of the people who e-mailed me. I have removed my e-mail (hotmail) address from my profile. The one poster was 17. I suspect he thought he'd found a gold mine here!

[FireProf]

I'm probably telling you something you already know but.....if the e-mails or PM's presist from the same people and become bothersome, you need to let the moderators know so they can take action on these posters to stop pestering you.

This has been a slight problem on several nudist message boards I post on. It has caused some of the female members to stop posting and it really hurts the message board when we lose female members who contribute. Glad to see you're not intimidated and still here.

[nudeM]

Welcome and, please, don't get discouraged by the unwanted e-mails. Hopefully the perpetrators were not seeking anything else than a friendly return.

If you ever get an unwanted e-mail from someone you have already told NOT to correspond with, then report them to the administrators.

With that said, the administrators can only have them dealt with here in these forums. Suggestive e-mails could be turned over to the local authorities. Hopefully, it won't get that far.

That is one reason why a lot of our members prefer to PM (private message) with each other, rather than using the e-mail.

Lots of luck and welcome to the forums. You will find out, quickly, you are among some of the most trustworthy group of nudists around. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

[Ben_m]

I'm sorry this happens and I'd like to smack a few guys for this, but I fear it wouldn't be a long-standing solution http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_mad.gif

I don't fully understand why this issue is so different between the sexes. Like FireProf said, I too am happily married (to my unfortunately non-nudist-inclined wife) and not interested in anything but genuine chaste, pure, innocent and beautiful naturist activities and practice. I have been "hit on" just a bit in creative (and occasionally not so creative) ways on occasion as a result of my naturist practice, however, I will admit - and by both men and women and I'm not interested. But, as a male, I seem to be able to communicate that easier and it gets understood pretty readily. Why are some men so dense? http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_mad.gif

[PascoDoug]

Still,

If you want you can private message me and tell me who these guys were that e-mailed you. I'll take care of them.

The forum is probably better off without them.

[DoctorSurferDude]

There are 13,930 members on this forum. If you extrapolate the male percentage on here, that's probably 10,000 males. And only 100 or so post.... An unfair ratio, but were the guilty parties active members or lurkers?

My girlfriend had a similar experience....but larger numbers....I don't recommend putting your picture up http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

If you'd be so kind as to name names.....we could practice a little clothes-free justice. Don't be afraid to embarass them...hehe.

[jon71]

I put in my profile that I like to penpal. I have a few including one friend who noticed that and wrote me initially. I've never had any that were inappropriate but I guess it's women who catch that. A shame. Do feel free to report anything inappropriate, no excuse for that, it's best if the mod.s deal with them.

It isn't just women who get unwanted e-mails from guys. I've gotten them too, and I won't go into any details as to what was in those e-mails. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_eek.gif

[Cheffred]

It is a shame that there are lurkers hanging around the forums. Please do not let the actions of a few hurt your opinion of these forums. I know you have also herd this before but let the moderators know.

[mrbee]

You can take a number of actions if you get unwanted or inappropriate emails:

Firstly, most email providers give you the oportunity to identify a specific address as 'spam' - that means that all future mails will automatically be sent to your junk mail folder and you won't even see them in your inbox.
Secondly, report the mail and the identity / address of the sender to the administrators here and do the same with any private messages you receive.

It's a shame that you have been targetted in this way but it happens everywhere - I get loads of emails every day from companies/individuals offering me a wide range of products and services - it's one of the curses of the internet.

I don't think 'naming' and 'shaming' is appropriate here as a course of action as it leaves people open to false accusation and a 'he said' - 'she said' situation. Lets leave it to the moderators and our email service providers/local authorities to take any action.

Best wishes, Mrbee

[nakednudists]

Now that my girlfriend is online now, she receive emails from people all of the time. Regardless if she tells them she has a boyfriend, they still write. Some may just be lonely, and some just are (you know)!
I guess that is what happens when you put a nude pic up of yourself and openly write that you are a femalenudist.
I have also got a bunch of emails that were kind of strange, but I just hit the delete button. If it becomes a problem with hers or mine, I will just let Pascodoug know.
By the way, awesome avatar doug.

the autor will remain unknown, since its quite possible he didnt know i am under 18, even thought i have made that know on a number of occassions in my posts. But my age in that instance didn't even matter, cause that was the only message i received, no hellos or other small chat.

i only post in 2 other forums besides this one, one is an anime forum with people from my own country some of who i know personally so never get unwanted emails from those guys. the other is one for a game i play, they know im a female but im a long time member so no one emails me unapproprate stuff, though i do get the occasional "your a girl!" from new members.

[Nu]

Very clever thought (Still_Boreas) to get the "happily married" line into your closing signature.

Certainly, someone requesting photos goes way too far.

Women and to a certain extent men, will always be the object of an advance-whether by e-mail, in a grocery store, in class, at work, anywhere. Single people are seeking others as friends or possibly eventual mates.
I was quite aggressive in seeking ways to meet women before I finally found one (my wife) 7 years ago.
Although, I was aggressive in my search, I was careful to back away once it became clear that that the lady was not interested.

I have not seen the names before.

PascoDoug, I will certainly let you know if anything persists, or if there is ever any lewd message. These were pretty tame in the grand scheme of things. Just guys looking for women (and pics). I think they were firing off notes to different people hoping they would "take". As you can see, I have added my "Happily Married" tagline for what it is worth. Also, I had my hotmail address up, it is now gone.

[nudenwv]

sounds like you hit a couple of bad eggs. i'm only speaking for myself. it seems that after some people get the pics they want then it's bye-bye. had that happen to me before. yes, it does make the males look bad but don't judge all by this misfortune.

Consider that it is an issue when, because someone else didn't report them, they hit on you. And when you don't report problems the same people might not bother you again but they do go on to bother a lot of others. You can help prevent someone else getting those emails by reporting them. We have very few women nudists online at all and it's important to do what we can to make those who are around stay online and not shut the computer off in disgust.

[Naturist4Ever]

At least with PM's, email etc you can simply ignore them.

>> What would happen if a young woman decided to "share pictures"?

As you may know, in one recent case in Sweden the guy in question turned out to be the 13yo girl's father, posing as a 17yo and jerking off via webcam. He's heading for jail now.

I tell you, this community (=cff) has very high standards compared to anywhere else that I am aware off. Surely, it goes up and down so now and then, but there are no fights, discussions rarely turn into yet again about sex, few people who try to dominate every single discussion, etc. etc. Moderation works very well. And there is a nice bunch of people out here.

Still when people sign on as "mastrbtr" (one of the newest members, 8/23) you can imagine that there are a number of trolls among the over 13,000 registered users. So is life. Just ignore them. They rarely post or appear in chat.

>> I have not had the opportunity to go to a club yet. Does this type of thing happen at clubs? Perhaps this is why single men are not allowed at some venues.

Possibly, but then certainly much less likely compared to public nude beaches for example. Most clubs that have a restrictive admission/membership policy (usually for gender balance reasons rather than unwanted behaviour) have so many rules that spell out all the unacceptable behaviour, that it is not likely. Others here may be able to comment on it.

Within our non-landed club we operate an informal women-only network. When they meet up on the beach as a group, they have a safer environment, someone to talk to, and they won't be pestered. Usually after a while when more confident it's no big deal to go by themselves.

Cheers, too.
And likewise happily married with wife who enjoys nudism as much.

It does now. At least it's a lot better than it used to be even though I still can show some misdeeds.

Obviously you can't have been reading much on here prior to the moderators being put into place. There was a lot of outright wars going on then, bigotted posts, backstabbing, you name it. I don't call posts bashing gays to be "high standards" yet they were on here for years till the last few months when friend of mine brought it all to the forefront, posting a list of the gaybashing on here when Corky claimed it wasn't allowed here.

And even today threads are threatened with closure because of a few peoples' behavior.

And I just got a PM from someone named nude_boy_gr, did anyone else?

[Boreas]

Hi Cyndiann, I got a message from nude_boy_gr today too. I have reported him to Doug.

I do believe these people are going around P.M.ing various people to see if they get nibbles. As we have heard, there are men getting these types of messages as well.

True, this guy actually said nothing wrong in his PM to me but the problem is that he's emailing every woman he can find on here just to see if he can get a reply.

I hadn't reported it yet because it really didn't break a rule in and of itself. However, PMing as many women as possible in a short amount of time would not be a good thing.

Should he have been banned just for contacting us? I dunno, I'm not sure. Maybe a talk from the moderators would have been in order first.

Very soulful eyes. Maybe one day I'll see them shining out from some other face and get that funny deja vu feeling.

Back to topic: I am sorry that some are abusing PM's. If I recall, one can "Ignore User", but for every creep you ignore, there are new ones joining the forum.

Blocking all PM's is an option, but not a very appealing one, IMHO.

The first film to win a Best Picture Oscar, and the only silent film to do so.


So, I've never received inappropriate IM's.
Does that mean something?

I wouldn't care to block all PMs or e-mails. Most people who write to me are OK, and I just ignore the ones who aren't, or I tell them not to write again.

I got into one of the online nudist dating services, and most of the people who wrote to me were guys even though I specified that I only wanted to hear from women.

Obviously you can't have been reading much on here prior to the moderators being put into place. There was a lot of outright wars going on then, bigotted posts, backstabbing, you name it. I don't call posts bashing gays to be "high standards" yet they were on here for years till the last few months when friend of mine brought it all to the forefront, posting a list of the gaybashing on here when Corky claimed it wasn't allowed here.

You really like this he? Talk about backstabbing... Dear, what am I happy we got rid of mr Oldman at the time (and a few others as well). PS - I don't think you read my email well enough anyway.

Justin and mrbee, if you would like, I'll send you some inappropriate PMs if that would make you happy.

Not to be totally off topic, but how did this individual get e-mail addresses? Maybe it would be wise for members not to post their e-mail addresses in these forums (profiles) and to just contact others by private messages.

Too bad it only takes a few ah's to spoil things up. Moderators, maybe you should mention that you are not responsible for any unwanted e-mails, and that by posting your e-mail address for all to see, they, the new members, are taking a risk. Afterall, after the e-mails have already been seen, then the perpetuator has clear access to that individual.

I think you should ask each member if they could remove their e-mail address, if they wish. It would certainly remove the issue at hand.

Anyway, just an opinion on trying to solve this issue. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

I have a hotmail address that I had listed. I really don't know why I put it in there when I joined. I don't usually do that. It is not on my profile now.

When someone P.M.'s you, the message gets sent to the e-mail listed when you join the forum. That means messages can still get to you.

It's a bit like spam. The first thing to do, is you should ignore it, it's not meant for you, it's meant to satisfy the cravings of the pathetic twit who sent the mail in the first place. The second thing, on a moderated forum like this one, is to report the clearly innapropriate action to the appropriate people (moderators), who will act on your behalf.

Remember that people are only human, and that if the box is big enough, there's a bad one in every box, no matter if the box is a naked box, or a textile box.

Deep huh ;-)

ive hardly had a single email or PM from anyone on this board, and never any where it seemed like the guy was trying to pick me up or trolling for pics.

readig everyone elses replies tho, i guess im the exeption rather than the rule.

[oddbutterfly1]

Hi still-Boreas

When you get a message from the pervs, just ignore them or report them. But not all guys are like that. I just let it go so far, until I get the idea if they play nice or not.

I have only been to 3 nude resorts and have not found a problem of any kind. The best ones to talk to are the ones that you know well. I am sure there are some nearer to you than you think.

Don't give up on people. I have only been a nudist for over a year and a half and never felt so free in my life.

By the way, hi from central BC. I think I know you from my other nude forum site. http://clothesfreeforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

I have never had a person from here e-mail me with a nude picture of him/her self but it would be proper to ask first where e-mail could be viewed by others that could cause problems for the intended receiver. I really don't care myself, am the only one that sees my e-mail but again a simple request for permission is the proper thing to do.

Well, it would be a new experience, but then again, no.

Just so no one else feels left out, everyone send me a nude picture.
