i agree 100% if a person is scared or been stalked or just want to feel protected, they should feel free to post any decent picture like you did there my friend 
well thank you. Please understand that I DO see the other side of this. I would back other people that wish to communicate with people that have pictures. It is just 2 different ways of protecting yourself and I can respect and support them both. Some people (with pics or no pics) can do things for bad reasons. Some people (with pics or no pics) can do things for protection or good reasons. It's about the individual. I have always encouraged for people to listen to their gut feelings while online and to do what they feel is necessary to feel protected (with in the law of course lol) the online world is still fairly new to the laws and the laws haven't caught up with it yet.  i really think its more easy for guys to put up pictures, then lady's and i don't blame them the ones that don't, i respect their wishes in my opinion do what you really feel comfortable with ,and never let no 1 push you to do what your not comfortable with :)

I can respect other opinion on this even if I don't agree. If someone doesn't want to be associated with someone without a picture...I can respect that. This is my reasons for not having my real picture public....BTW I do have real pictures that are set to private. 1. I've been stalked online and in real life and it's a headache I don't wish to have. I, also, don't want any site or members to have to deal with it either. 2. I'm not looking to meet anyone. Not having a real picture has limited people that do try to contact me to meet. Doesn't catch them all, but nothing is 100% As far as showing a true age....I could use old pictures of me when I was a little younger or use pictures of my nieces to fool people. How would anyone know that wasn't really how I look now? As far as stealing pictures....a lot of times it boils down to one word against another. For example I will use myself and my fellow mod, Kristi (pretend we are new to a site) I could use Kristi's picture on a site. She sees it and says wait a minute...that's me. How does a site prove it without demanding ID or something? How does the site link an account to a specific person...especially if proxies or something is used? I could take her picture and use it on another site where people don't know us....either to fool people or disparage her. How do they know who is telling the truth? There are many reasons someone may not want to show a real picture. Mine is out of protection for myself and those around me (online or in real life) Just as some want pictures to feel protected (which I can fully respect) some don't post pictures for that same reason *to add* If someone is looking to meet, then I do strongly suggest getting pictures or video chat for precaution. If someone won't give them to you, then I wouldn't want to meet them. Many use this as a social site, as well, not looking to meet

We do not heavily enforce this particular statement: "you should be in all photos" Preferably, yes, you should be in all photos. The problem with that is, people like to express themselves. The main Photo, should be of you, as for the rest, be it a photo of your pets, car, home, etc. does let you say a little bit more about you, your lifestyle and interests. Also, some people do not wish to make their photos public, for whatever reason, so we do have a private photo option, and the person may use an avatar as their main image. The main concern for photos are as follows: No nude/highly suggestive pics, or photos which only focus on one area of the body, as to display certain attributes. I will mention also, that headless/shirtless photos also fall into this category. Photos which contain personal contact information, such as phone numbers or email addresses are not allowed, as well as personal identification. This is for the safety of our members. bloody/gory images, intimidating photos, or otherwise disturbing images. We realize you are all adults here, however, we do want to maintain a decent website. As for forcing folks to have a photo, i do not think that will happen, no.

"Do you try to understand what people are saying, or take what they say without question?" Many times I think people are making an opinion and there is really no need to take it further. By taking it further it is inviting an argument/debate environment that doesn't need to happen. In an open public forum there is a time to say stop because of the site's rules. The questions may fit a lot better if all were gathered in the same room talking but not in a forum atmosphere. I've noticed that when someone doesn't understand someone else in threads here many times it turns into a pointing of figures as if someone was right and someone was wrong. The problem with this is most times it is only a difference of opinion and should have never gotten to the point of blame. When people get their figure of blame out they start to paint a picture for everyone to see knowing that the mods are going to step in and penalize someone for taking it too far. In those cases it is not the person making their opinion with the most reasonable answer that wins, it's the one that has manipulated things enough to make the other person noticeably mad. Social sites are cool but I have noticed there are lines and boundaries that need to be followed as common courtesy in regard to the rules of forums. Some people on forums ask questions and others seem to come on forums to provoke responses that lead to an argument. Being aware of this it helps to discern if a question is more of a probe to bait and not really a question at all or is it a legitimate question. It's an open forum so it is easy to say I'm innocent in this, but in reality there is a dig just below the surface. It takes a while for a forum member to see this and when they do they need to make a decision whether or not to answer the question. Their thinking if I answer it I will be probed to the point of defending myself, if I don't answer it I will be accused of being something I'm not for all to see. So for myself I'm learning to make an opinion and not so much a question that may lead to a thread being derailed into the realm of heated debate and blame casting. Ah, now it's a bit more clear. You are assuming that if you explain your opinion, it's going to turn into an argument. No worries. Just keep in mind, if you refuse to answer, there's no need to try and insult the person asking, or make it seem like they're doing something wrong. Your right, I don't think forums members should bait people into getting mad.
