Questions on pictures
-
Heh, is Sulz a girl!? Oh, that explains a lot..
..grr.. why doesn’t this forum have profil-pics!? :P
-
gee is my gender really surprising or of matter? =P sometimes stereotype really helps in determining gender – am such a hopeless newbie in blogging and html i should be anything but male.
and sloane, if it allows profile pictures, i would DEFINITELY NOT put mine – i don’t even reveal my name or where i stay specifically in my blog.

Hehe.. Okay okay.. But yes – It’s really surprising..
I’m just glad of having female company here :D That is always a positiv thing.. -
sloane – sulz and I are friends and I think her point about stereotyping and profile pictures is an important one. If WP admin does decide to have profile photos and I strongly discourage this then the only photo I would post of myself would be one that could not lead to anyone actually indentifying me. This is why.
Without profile photos we are able to get to know one another free of the artificial barriers that age, physical appearance, disabilities, race, gender preference and sexuality give rise to. In other words, without pictures we are less inclined to stereotype and more inclined to “listen” to one another.
This is a support forum and I see the balance between female presence and male presence here and in the blogging community at large as a good thing. Whether or not you’re male or female, whether or not you’re gay or straight, whether or not you’re young or old, whether or not you’re of this race or of that race, whether or not you have visible diabilities, and whether you’re physically attractive or not, in the forum we all have the potential of becoming friends with one another in a barrier free environment and giving each other a hand up the blogging ladder. And I see that as an excellent thing about WordPress so I hope it never changes. :D

Okay, but I don’t really think this is so serious. It’s just a blogging forum.. Nobody cares.. Really, are you saying you wouldn’t answer my questions if I was ugly/gay or anythink!?..
And I certainly dont hope anyone is ashamed of her/himself..
I just think it would make it a bit more personally, and attrackt other users to the forums. Thats possitiv, right?
And if you don’t wanna open yourself it’s (if pic’s were possible) optional to have a profil-pic or not..
I personaly like to know who Im talking to…Yours sincerely :)

Having just had a discussion with a staff member about these forums, we need to try staying on topic more often around here.
