i dont think they should not be banned. This actually means you think they SHOULD be banned. Double negative. however i think people who hide behind fake pics, are more than likely filling out fake profiles. if you are looking for a partner but afraid to show a photo of yourself. you are hiding something, obviously ,, to me. That's just your opinion. You are welcome to it, but it has no basis in reality. are you that ashamed you need to post a fake photo? are you that insecure you need to post a cartoon figure? and i know after reading this i am going to get the usual, "oh i cant show my face what if my neighbor see me, or there might be a stalker or something"? i can "what if" think all day long, but i feel its a waste of time. and even the ones who are not looking for a partner, but only want to voice opinion on the forums. Acutally, it is more just like the reason I don't accept random "friend" requests from people I've never spoken to...wankers who just want some nifty image to jerk off to. would you take a newcaster serious if he/she wore a bag over their head? or maybe had a photo of some cartoon figure for an image? i dont think anyone would take that person seriously. so why should i think someone is serious when hiding behind a false image? a false image is even more of a turn of than no image Do you take the radio newscaster seriously? Or because you can't see his face, he is instantly less "serious" than Walter Cronkite? What about the journalist in your newspaper? They may not have a picture either? Should what they have to say be considered "suspect" as well?
so.... should they be banned? no
fake pics and no profile info lose respect and interest instantly? yes
There is a difference between a "fake" picture and pictures of other things like cartoon characters and such. A "fake" picture is a photograph of someone that isn't the person writing the profile. The others are simply images that the writer chooses as something that is representative of a part of their personality.
Regardless of what you think of them, we are all free to "lose interest" for any profile. It's actually a good thing. When a profile is blank, it takes you that much less time to figure out you have no interest in that person. Be grateful for it.

i doubt very much your neighbor or your boss is on here looking for YOU. You can "doubt" all you want. It isn't your decision. Someone's desire to protect their privacy shouldn't be your concern. I doubt they are worried if it lessens your interest in them anyway.
what conclusion did i jump to? did you read what i wrote? again ,,, obviously not. cause is says in there something about the people like you. i for one do not let that big ole rotten stinking man under his thumb gonna break you down cause i am watching your every move world hinder my ability t to have the decency to show the people i am engaging with who they are dealing with. But you make the assumption that the people who don't put a picture on their profile don't send pictures to people they actually begin corresponding with? Does it ever occur to you that some people prefer that others find out something about them as a PERSON before seeing the image? Considering your habit of frequently calling all those who identify as slaves as "it" I imagine that it doesn't. However, not all slaves care to cater to your need to have the visual needs met before even having a conversation.
i just find it difficult to take someone serious who has a silly image to represent themselves. like i said, to ME it is more of a turn off than no image at all
So people without a picture are "obviously" hiding something and those with "silly" images just aren't serious enough for you. Perhaps to you, BDSM is all about being serious all the time. Well, I hate to break it to you, but life shouldn't be serious all the time, and those with silly images are showing you that they know that. I'm sure they are glad that you pass them by.
