Profile Pics?

[kk.]

K! im a spag apparently, the poll should read, "Would you like to have a picture of yourself on your profile!"


This may have been brought up before, and i know its been brought up about pictures in avatars and signatures, but ive seen on some places that you can upload a picture and its on you user page. So for me it'd appear on http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=35535 that page. Perhaps it could appear on the about me tab, or a tab of its own?

I know its been brought up a lot of times, and i know loads were against the avatars and sigs, but most of that was because people didnt want to see peoples faces all over the forum, and this gets rid of that. Itd be optional so if you didnt want to you wouldnt have to, and most would only do it if they were comfortable with what they looked like, and wouldnt take offence if someone insulted them, not that i think that would happen anyway.

Its just an easy way to see what someone looks like behind the post.

Thoughts?


(not that i would use it, mind lol)

Do you mean in the place of a profile pic? Like I have a profile picture -http://www.habboxforum.com/member.php?u=52752 Or do you mean in a completely different place? :p

ohh, ok, no i mean a picture of yourself there. if you can already have a picture of someone it makes it a whole lot easier to implement lol

I still don't know why people aren't allowed to upload pictures of themselves as Avs/Signatures. Wasn't it the Habbo Way that said that people should be allowed, and people don't have to if they don't want to. But for the people who want to, they should have the option. The choice should be there!! And I know if I wanna see what someone looks like, would be quicker to glance at their profile than it would be to search Papoy. I'm like that perving over people :L

The majority voted against, and aside from that management and myself included don't really want it.

Not too keen on it to be honest. We have a lot of young users who even if they had the option they would do it anyway - they may not be as wise online in regards to safety.

That's the same as Facebook though. They may not be online wise but they still use Facebook to post all their pictures? Are you saying that Facebook are in the wrong because they allow this...

Facebook is a social network.
This is a habbo fansite.

I wasn't raising the point on what type of website Habbox is. I don't need your help for that. But my logic is still the same. People may not be online wise yet will choose to upload their picture. Facebook is just one example. Facebook is a social network which much is much alike a Forum for people. Therefore again. The same logic applies as this is a FORUM for Habbo Users and Non-Habbo users. People should have the OPTION regardless of whether their online-wise or not. Because if i wanted to see what some randomer on the internet looked like, I have Flickr/Twitter/Facebook. So it's not like people are protected anyway.

No, as mentioned below that's a social network and there should be age restrictions for facebook if I remember. It's also why the government are pushing for a "Help" button on facebook to the CEOP website because of the amount of children who are at risk by using the site (but that's a totally different matter). This isn't facebook or a social networking site and there's no need to see peoples pictures flying about on visitor walls - if you really want to be seen or look at other people they can use the PAPOY thread.
