Rule A4 (Pictures of yourself)

[FlyingJesus]

idc about the security issue, I'd just rather not have to see most of the people here every time they post, and the virgins are annoying enough in papoy without letting them see A GIRL OMG!!! and slime up to them in every post as I've seen in a couple of other forums. That said, the girls are no better really, but in any case I'm happy to make up some more ludicrous semi-possible threats if it means not having to look at fat people.

I think Tom makes a good point, it makes everyone so sycophantic and fickle. Can't stand it.

I bloody answered your question and you -repped me for it :S :S Wth??

LOL its only rep *REMOVED* Read the reason I'm sure that will help you out.

Following the last ploy to get pictures in avatars there was a reasonably large campaign which argued against pictures being visible on the forum - as it is actually dangerous.

It was suggested and largely agreed within a thread that the Post a Picture of You thread should be hidden from unregistered members to make it look like HabboxForum does not allow members pictures, thus anybody looking to get kicks from pictures of 12 year olds can go elsewhere.

A lot of members are for this, a lot of members are against it, I believe recent polls showed more are for it than against it however General and Forum Management are quite against this (previous General and Forum Management have been too) with good reason - some of these reasons will have to remain confidential.

Surely its the persons choice to use a photo as there avatar, so for people who don't want it don't have to do it. A pedo isnt really going to get off on the face of some kid, and if he was to then bebo is where he is, and mostly likely where hes going to stay. I dont see how people can be against it as its down to the individuals choice to post there own picture.

Yeah guess this can be annyoing, but it already happens alot it says in the userbit if someone is male or female

Whilst the older users can make judgements for themselves (and I say this with no disrespect to younger users) the younger users may not be as wise/educated about certain matters.

I don't think the userbit saying male or female matters much, it's more about whether the person is attractive. If they are they will get a lot of unwanted attention (like in PAPOY) if they aren't then they may get bullied - infact it's likely they'll get bullied.

I dont -rep people for answering my question. You -repped me saying its a pointless rule :S Maybe some people fail to understand what reputation is. I guess it can be hard for some users . Anyway what FJ and Garion said pretty much sums it up. I would rather not look at people in their AV or sig.

[kk.]

im neither for nor against tbh. i wouldnt use the feature, and wouldnt mind others using it. But, why not just post a picture of yourself in PAPOY, and then link to it in your sig? or if its allowed, post a link to a photo of you on images shack?

in fact, as for others coming onto the forum who are not registered, cant you just hide all avatars from them, as well as signatures? im sure thats been done on other forums

A lot of people would robs post fake pictures too, and considering I don't want to see ugly people showing themselves as their avatars thinking they are fit, I really don't want to see people claiming to be some model

This is too true tbh, this again would lead to bullying as if someone fakes their pics it's always found out and then there's a complete nightmare.

@ Josh, I don't think it's a good idea to be too restrictive to guests, afterall what they see on their Guest account may be the reasons they sign up - we get a lot of guests just browsing and restricting them from seeing avatars and signatures, in my opinion would be too restrictive on them.

i dont see how its restricting? theyd browse to see the content of the posts, not the avatars :S

RElating to the issue of people faking, just look at the whole marriott incident when people found out he has nothing o do with marriott hotels.

It would cause havoc.
