In such scenarios, knowing the appropriate protocol is quite beneficial.
I am happy to say that no one has ever sent me pictures of their member. And I have been on forums for many, many years.
In your case, did you also post pictures of yourself when you had the problem before? I do not want the following to sound the wrong way, as such things should not be necessary. My guess is, you could avoid some of those sorts of things by selecting a gender neutral name, not telling anyone you are a woman, and not posting a picture of yourself online. Some people (okay, mostly men, not usually women) get crazy online and do things that they would not do in ordinary life (and some do enough crazy shit in their ordinary lives).
Again, that should absolutely not be necessary at all. But you should also be safe walking home alone in the middle of the night in any neighborhood in the world. But, unfortunately, the world is not as it should be.
Maybe I should go fix myself a drink...
