Welcome to Naturists

Naturists Discussion at Google Groups

G-Naturists was founded in 2004 as a way for Naturist (nudists) to connect and share information. It is now one of the oldest continuing naturist E-mail list servers originating from the USA.  We espouse the beliefs of the national social nudist movements including, but not limited to The Naturist Society Foundation (TNSF, formerly TNS), the American Association for Nude Recreation (AANR), the Federation of Canadian Naturists (FCN) and similar national organizations in other nations.

This is not a sex pick-up place. Solicitous posts will be deleted and the user banned.  We also do not share or post images. The system is set to obscure your E-mail address from others.  This is a text discussion group only.

In an effort to restrict automated systems from posting junk or spam, all new users will be placed on moderated status at the time they are included (subscription approved).  All messages that are posted while under moderated status are viewed by the group moderators first to determine if the post is from a legitimate source.  If approved, the user's status will be changed to un-moderated and posting will be allowed.

All new users, will be required to either post an initial message after the subscription is approved, or contact the group moderator, within the first thirty (30) days of being approved.  Failure to do this will result in the subscription request being deleted.  This asures that you are a real person, and not a stealth ‘bot’ laying low to post junk later. This is sort of a poor man‘s CAPTCHA

Note: Spell our group name right. There is another “naturist” group at Google Groups with a similar name (naturist... singular tense). We are “naturists” plural tense.

There are two ways people can join this list.

If you have a Google Account (GMAIL, etc.)

If you have a Google account, (a Gmail user, or a Google account registered with a non-Gmail address), LOGIN as usual to your Google account, then you can go to the following address.

http://groups.google.com/group/naturists

Click ASK TO JOIN at the upper middle of the page and you will be placed in the waiting queue for the moderator to see your subscription request.  The ASK TO JOIN link will also ask you to say a few words about yourself in the “Reason for Joining” box.  This is a human check and balance since automated systems will not do this.  Persons answering this quick question will be set to allow posting quicker (full access) since you have proven you are a real human being.

Google users also have full access to all of the features.  This includes setting access for individual messages when posted, a daily abstract (overview of messages) or a multi-message digest format. You will also be granted web access to view and access the list in a web browser, as well as set other parameters.  Otherwise interaction is via E-mail.

This is how Google Groups operates since the last major format update in 2024.

If you DO NOT HAVE a Google Account

You can still participate via E-mail only.  After all, this is an E-mail-based discussion list.

To subscribe send an e-mail to the moderator at: suncladcom@gmail.com

The moderator will receive this message and send the Invitation Link via e-mail to the address you sent the message from - no exceptions. We do not send the link to different addresses. Watch for the link in your e-mail. Allow 3-5 days. Also check your spam or junk folder in case the link went there. Suggestion -- Add “naturists@googlegroups.com” to your address book to help avoid that.

If the link fails to arrive in 3-5 days contact te list moderator at suncladcom@gmail.com

All new users are automatically on moderated status and you must prove you are a human being to stay subscribed.  If you do not attempt to post your first message or contact the list moderator in the first 30-day period, your access to the list will be removed.

Non-Google account holders can only interact with the list via E-mail.  If you need to switch your subscription from all messages to a daily abstract (overview) or the digest mode (list of all recent messages in on E-mail) you will have to ask the list moderator to do it for you at the above address.
*** May 25, 2024 ---- We have received some reports of people not receiving the e-mail invitation link. We have tested this feature and it is working as it should. This was tested through multiple mail services. It appears that those not receiving the invitation link may be seeing this refused from your mail service. So far we are seeing this with Comcast (Xfinity), Yahoo, and Hotmail. However this is not absolute and appears to be happening randomly. If you do not get the Invitation Link within 3-5 days please contact the moderator at the address you used to ask for the link and we will try to resend it. This is not our fault but now appears to be your mail service. You may want to have a spare address (free) from another service.
POSTING:

All users:  To post send the E-mail message to:   naturists@googlegroups.com.  Only subscribed users can post. All replies are set to go to all users on the list.  This is a group discussion forum.

Google Users can view and interact via the web (after logging in to your account) at:   http://groups.google.com/group/naturists

DIGEST and ABSTRACT USERS NOTE:  Posting a reply to a Digest will cause all of the messages in that digest to be re-posted to the list unless you properly edit out extraneous material not associated with your post.  This is bad form and a burden on the other users.  This is a limitation to the Group software.  As such, if you want to reply to a specific message, please isolate that text and send a NEW MESSAGE with the same title.  Re-posting an entire digest back to the list will get a warning, and repeated abuse of that nature will result in being unsubscribed.  Please note that this flaw is especially true of people interacting with the list on a cell phone or tablet device.  Full features are not accessible on devices using a mobile presentation format.
