Self disclosure breeds trust and community, no?
November 21, 2018 at 6:33 pm
I wonder if it might be possible to optionally add nationality, age and gender next to the avatar for all posts? I know that at least some of that info can be added/viewed in the user profile but that's kinda "stalky" to seek out and easily forgotten if not reminded with a glance in a thread. Of course, there wouldn't be any requirement to post with those details but it would be a good idea to have the option I think - I know I'd use it...gives people more of a "face" to show/use and so more personality, or character, if you will. Share and enjoy! /Adams

Many people come here for the anonymity the internet provides.

Except me. I really do wiggle my hairy bum a lot! Big Grin

I lourve your avatar, ignoramous, it never fails to get attention...cats really do that (less, but still). An option, not mandatory.

I think only a select few have seen a picture of me here, and that's only because it was the only way to get into the A69 section.

I like the idea but I won't personally disclose any details on my part that may be very personal. Location is fine though with me. And age. And gender. And ...
