Hello Friends
I have seen this thing in some site where they force users to post their original pictures as profile pic otherwise they can't continue on site. I wonder why they required original photo? :blink:
Users can easily upload someone's else photo and I am sure that site can't assure about that thing. Still they go for it. What do you think about it? :dry:

I feel that it is to prevent opening of fake accounts. But you have got a point there that how can they verify that the profile picture is really that of the user. Anybody can use other people's photo as their own. Wasn't anything mentioned in those sites regarding how they verify it?

I feel that the sites are right in asking the users to post the user's photo. This is to curb the online atrocities like false identification to cheat women members. We are all aware such cheatings are happening in the net and further leading to many unwanted situations.
I agree. These make the profile real. My own photo in Boddunan and some other sites is real. But in Yahoo, the avatar is an image created from Yahoo facility. Also my avatar name there is 'Ironman' instead of real name. But this is only for viewers whereas the site owners know the real name.
I support not only demand for real photo but also copy of pancard, address proof etc.

Earlier people wanted to remain anonymous while using the net because they felt that there was all sorts of danger, whereas now things are different and there is no harm in putting up one's picture or give certain necessary details! I feel that being open is better than giving false details and trying to remain secretive !

Demanding a PAN card is most welcome.The whole idea is to stop cheating and misusing the site, For this i support any stringent method for proving the genuinity of the user.

I also like the idea as I have my own photo as my avatar on almost every site and as for your ID, once you added your bank account or your paypal a/c you have provided your entire information. You cannot have either one without being a real someone.
My photo!?? Didn't understand you...
Why are you so surprised? You have your photo as your avatar in your mail which is visible whenever you send an email to me.
On my yahoo mail!? I didn't even know that. :laugh:
Nothing remains hidden while you send a mail to Gmail. they display your google contacts and display your uploads on on your other related accounts.

That's really weird.. And here I was thinking that my information is safe enough. I don't know how yahoo and gmail are interconnected without my notice.

Once you are on net and logged in, whatever you do is available to Google and anyone may find all about your activities, likes and dislikes by merely searching using your name. Better to forget privacy when you are on net.

This is an ill conception many people have. Just remember this thumb rule. "Nothing is secretive in the net."
Well, I know all about that. But I am sending mails through yahoo mail. but still on gmail I can see my image connected with that yahoomail that I have never uploaded.. lol this is something new.
Well I'm aware of this. For our own safety, it always helps to take the things for granted that 'We are being observed by somebody.'
They are protecting the site from many accounts opened by a single user. But some good users also no need to show their original identity..
Original identity should not be concealed from site. The sites permit you to hide some information from the visitors to the site. They may allow to display a username that may differ from real name.
