All The Faceless People On Forums......

I don’t quite understand why some people on forums are faceless and hide behind an avatar of an animal, a flower, a cartoon, a celebrity or a black and white silhouette!

Are they wanted by the police or on the run from something?
I think, it’s nice to be able to place a face against the post and not see some obscure avatar!

I hear cries of..but what difference would it make to the content or quality of the post, or the opinion of the poster?

Anyway, what do you think?

Unlike social media there are no privacy settings on a forum. They have traditionally been anonymous which encourages people to be more open in their views.

My current Avatar is my beautiful Elmo, who died some years ago.
I used a picture which means something to me.

Why does it matter what someone looks like anyway?
It doesn't make any difference to what they are saying.
I don't understand that.

If anyone desperately wants to know what I looked like (once upon a time ) there are pictures in my albums they can see, though not up to date ones - too frightening.

Art, at least we can view photos of good looking celebrities or lovely animals this way.

Far too ugly to impose my mug shot on you gentle people. Last thing we want are hoards of people running from the forums screaming in horror, perhaps never to return.
