Q: why is it that so few people put their real photo on eChinacities.

Is it for security or are you not happy with the way you look? Franck3

photos can be used for dating scams and recruiting scams, i have seen my picture in school advertisements as a foreign teacher and i know nothing about the school.

JungleLife:

Yes, and there are people who do this for a living. Have to be careful.

I do use my own photograph - hippothetically speaking.

Traveler:

And a very fine photo, too  ... Shift+R improves the quality of this image. Shift+A improves the quality of all images on this page.

For similar reasons that you don't. You don't want to reveal you are Chinese, and I don't want to reveal my true identity to people like you.

Because the sheer handsomeness of my true appearance would cause the website to crash.

Dear Traveler, What would I do if I new who you were? Absolutely nothing. I can't even tell what your picture is. Maybe  a hitch hikers guide to the galaxy? Franck3

Traveler:

I have read your past posts attacking Christians, Muslims, French and just about the entire non-Chinese world. It is obvious that you are a very hateful and anti-social individual.

 

One of the reasons I keep anonymous is so I can choose who I will and won't make my identity known to. There are those on this board that I do trust and respect, and there are those like you.

It's an avatar you don't need your real picture up  there. You know they have stalkers on this site don't you? I was stalked before as well....and those people that send you messages about getting to know one another is another reason why! Plus, this isn't really the most friendliest site I've been on as far as courtesy goes!

I have posted on many different forums (outside China) , some of them political, and it isn't usually a good idea to make it too easy for your true identity to be known, for basic security reasons. Identity theft is a real crime that happens to real people and the 'incidental information' that makes some of these identity crimes all the more damaging and believable often come from sites like these.

Having said that, I've posted that much personal stuff about myself on here that it wouldn't need a mental giant to track me down.

Hulk:

Already found you. Stalked you a few times and got a few good pictures, now I'm using your likeness to recruit people into my illegal English school.

Hey!!! I hope you took those pictures from the right side, and if you publish the ones in the polka dot bikini I'll send the thugs round! Oh and could you make sure you don't publish the ones where I'm with the blonde? She's kinda nasty and very well connected.

This is a real picture of me after I got a good haircut. I think the photographer used too much blue light, don't you agree? He nearly blinded me but it only cost 6 RMB.

And why is it that only YOU put your name after every goddamn post? Makes it look very important. Franck3's famous quotes LOL, no offense but it gets a bit annoying after a while. manasyt

im borg. my avatar is a picture of my heart. those who make it easy for me to track will be assimilated... resistance is futile.

xinyuren:

you are not borg. You are pretending to be borg.  your language mistake gives you away.  Real borg say, "We are borg".  Get a life, loser.
