I saw someone before using the real him in Avatar I don't remember the name but I remember he is a developer.
But why do we desperately want to remain anonymous here where some of us have public profiles on some other forum or social media platform. Or is there any where on the forum where anonymity is explicitly advised?
Don't compare this forum to other social media I don't think about the other forum I usually use a different avatar than my own picture as an avatar.
Privacy is very important not just here on the forum but also in other forums. That is why we always see a privacy policy when accessing websites because most of people always want privacy.
On social media, like Facebook, you have the option to don't upload your real picture and actually, it doesn't require you can use their website or app without uploading or sending personal data.
Same here if you value your privacy then don't upload if not then anytime you can upload your real you. However, only full members above can able to wear avatars.
