Mylot is a place for expressing your thoughts and opinions so why the blank face

My hobby is photography and I capture images from my own garden. I do flower arrangements of which I have several pictures taken. I keep changing my avatar by uploading from my own image collections.

Hi bluemoon, Actually our avatar picture is an identity of us, so giving an avatar can get recognition from members easily. I am noticing the avatar picture of a member when interacting with that person. Most probably I am not noticing the user name the reason is most of the people are opting a user name than their own name so it is difficult for me to remember the username if it is long. So I prefer to remember the avatar picture is an identity of that person. I am not sure why some people are not putting a picture as their avatar.

Hi bluemoonpavilion, i am not actually particular about users not uploading avatars of their choice but yes you have a point here, it certainly is better if they did coz it shows what they would like to relate to when we want to address them. I like my avatar coz i do play drums. And i am never going to change that, i like it that much. .. And if anybody wants to actually see me, i have uploaded my personal pic as well, they only need to bother checking my profile :) .. good day.

Hi bluemoonpavilion! I've enjoyed looking at avatars. Sometimes the avatars add to the effective impact of the discussion. I love to think they speak for the person behind. And I love changing mine from time to time.

I don't really have a problem with people not loading an avatar but it does help when you recognise the avatar as somebody who you like to share discussions with. I tend to change my avatar every so often so probably end up confusing people!!

Yes, it is nicer to see the person has taken the time to upload an avatar. It's also how you get recognized on myLot. You don't see many penguins around myLot these days, do you?

hi bluemoonpavilion I do not have a camera so no pic of my self so instead I chose one of the many graphics I have made, as that might show my slight talent for making my own grahics, I just play around and have a lot of fun doing it.

Well, my avatar are flowers. My name is a name of a flower that is why I choose flowers as my avatar. I don't understand why some people don't want to download avatar in their profile. Maybe they don't want to be identified or they liked that blank face hehehe...

Maybe they dont know how to do it. It took me weeks before I uploaded by first photo cause I didnt know how to do it. Maybe for some they just wanted to keep their privacy by not showing their faces. It doesnt say here in mylot that we are required to post our pictures anyway.

Yes, I prefer to see any pictures than the face without eyes. I guess, they want to be annnoymous... up anonymous.

LOL, I'm much a "defaulter" and usually I leave my avstar blank unless I decide to be pretty active in a forum. I have noticed that in many forums, the admins give some rewards to stimulate members upload their personal avstar. Maybe some myLotters think that use the time to post and earn is better than to upload an avstar?

hi bluemoon i hope you know that newbies can't upload avatars yet we have to reach a certain amount of discusdsion respones first so thats why i don't have a avatar yet.

I think many peple are more iscretly about theyr live...but i like to see the face... so i put my picture too....

I also hate people doing that. Leaving it blank. Like other social networks. It seems like they are not proud of what they look like or maybe they look scary :D My avatar is not me, that's my business, selling perfumes. If you will see those perfumes / mists you will remember me ... vendors of perfumes ... hahaha

You are quite right. I don't like people who have the default avatar as their own avatar. Some new members may not know how to make it, this can be understanding. However, some old members seem to keep on this default avatar and this is strange. It is not that difficult to upload your own avatar. It will be impressive for people to know who you are according to your avatar. I love China

For me yes so that they don't know me who I am because we are in the international friendship.

Starting discussions and answering to any conversation, anything you write already contains something about you. Behind your response you already show to people who and how you are. Your thoughts, way of live, your character and habits are hidden behind your answers. So once you start using mylot, you're not annonymous any more. But regarding "faceless", you are right. It is nicer to see any avatar or picture, any photo gives more live to the conversation, makes it more interesting and easier to handle with the conversation. Also the photo or avatare you choose says a lot about yourself.
