Profile Picture Recommendation
Interesting post.
Read a bit and I see you are referring to the lovely Tantrum. I've been here for 7 months and Tantrum has never used such a picture. She used it for a reason - just for a few days. (see thread - why this pic)
I personally think it's the Writing that matters. Most people know by now, that the photo of a person doesn't necessarily mean it's them and there are many more on the Website.
I wish you got to meet "Cabin Girl".
Welcome to Hubpages.
we already discussed swimmers...- besides, I thought they were adulterating instead...
NOBODY BETTER BE TALKING ABOUT TANTRUM AND LOOK AT ME
I see your fan counter running up as we speak!
yes, L that's a pure case of discrimination! Only mention T's name...when you looking so sexy there!! not fair, I say!
- :Lol: :Lol:
lmfao
omg
this is tooooo funny. this thread totally made my day.
oh, and at Poppa..thanks for the link. (so, before proofreading..that said kink..ahhahhaha) at first when you said commercial, I thought you meant on TV.
just the same..I may be changing my christmas wish list....
this is my new avatar and name for the OP's choice !!
Hi lorlie!Did you say take a walk ?
Sounds good to me, methinks Tina wud love Cabin Girls photo
Jeeez will you damn women get dressed, Tina was right, yer all raising my pulse rate lol
Tantrum,
Your response cracked me up.
Shhhh....I don't like the weird, white, laying-down, face (the picture the OP has here) that looks like someone just drowned in the bathtub. My first reaction to that picture was, "Oh, a dead person."
In all seriousness, I don't think HubPages should have rules (beyond what they already do) about pictures. Our individual Hubs are found through searches. If we send anyone to our own profile it's up to us to decide if we want a business-like look, a "creative" look, etc. (In my case, a boring look). Although I see the forums (and the site) as a community; I have to say I don't see all of us Hubbers as "one, big, team". I see HubPages as a site that acts a vehicle for each individual's choice of writing/expression. Besides, if we all worked at, say, IBM or Microsoft, we'd all have our cubicles decorated differently, and we'd all have our own style.
Like Marissa, I understand the idea about a professional image; but as she said, not everyone here is a professional writer, and I'm not sure HubPages would offer the range of writing it does if everyone were a professional web-article writer and wrote nothing but "yet one more 400-word article about Mp3 players".
HubPages is doing pretty well, and a lot of people are earning pretty well on here; so they must be doing something right.
Tina V, why should you be worried about this?
If someone decides to post some picture - it's their choice. It's a form of expression, that actually makes HP an interesting place to be
Actually Hubpages made a decision well before you appeared here. IMHO this thread is extremely condescending. Build your own site, and set there any rules you want.
Opinions that differ from those of the group are unwelcome here at HP, haven't you figured that out by now.
respect the avatars or the views?

When you were a sheep, you used to be in the centre of events...
A hubbers avatar should be as unique as the individual. If the pic is sexy that's ok. Vulgar not ok ( with me anyway
) And if I don't like looking at the avatar ( for wahtever reason) then I just don't read or particiapte in the thread.Hi sweetheart.
Wanna play Daphne with me ?- not the place...!
nah...too many watching.....! besides, the new rules might ban people from smiling at each other too, so careful!
ah...dirty little mind of yours blood! it's for the likes of u that we have all the sexy avatars....
- ....stop corrupting us innocent naive kids that we are....first the sexy avatars and now this talk! I can't handle it......
You should look inside sometime. Loooottts of sexy thing in there too !

PDH, I have often thought this but never written it down; you are by far the most amazing christian I have ever met (virtually met in this case). You are from what I have noticed anyway, so indifferent to politics. I love it. Totally not me, but I love it. Good on you

AND WHERE IS THE OP ??
CHANGING AVATAR, PERHAPS !!- :lol;
Ok...
it's all about how you see it. Looking at Tantrum's avatar, someone thinks about:
1) a person barely dressed;
2) a beach and swimmers;
3) sexual invitation (?);
4) ...any other suggestions?
Analogy with words - if I say something like "I feel such an urge to play with some lollipop right now"...Should I get banned?- bloodnlatexposted 14 years ago0
why chic?? hot guy silly! don't u know some of us are starved here.....?! it's all the sex we get...
(((shh....I just play with words here...don't tell on me now!
)))))
(((someone's in full form...I like it..!!))
I'd love some other 'dirty minded' people come here and say their piece !
In the end this is a free forum- bloodnlatexposted 14 years ago0
@tina
from your hub: Factors why people fight
If a person who is pessimistic about life is usually someone who has a poor outlook about himself. Sometimes we cover up our lack of self-confidence by being too aggressive and arrogant. We boast too much to be recognized by others. Our uncertainty contributes to our self-centeredness that eventually leads to a fight. Being a self-centered person, we tend to become selfish and self-righteous. We tend not to listen to other people’s ideas. Our listening ability becomes inferior. So we tend to fight for what we believe is right.
Doesn't ring a bell ?and a bong ?

just fine! Tantrum went to rest !
Good grief - more hullaballoo. To the OP - I understand you have your point of view (and I even understand that too) but I honestly wouldn't worry too much about other hubber's avatars. Or rather - tantrums.
Her avatar is her choice and is a great expression of 'this is me'.
And as you're worried about pictures that appear to give the 'wrong impression', I'd bugger off to the hundreds (or thousands) of picture hubs and take a butchers.
But before you do, make sure you're prepared for some of what you'll find. Tantrum's avatar is positively virginal next to some of them. You have been warned
@ XTASIS - I don't know ... some folks don't like bare flesh. My mother would have a mad ig at a picture such as yours. She's some kind of puritan. She once called me a 'haridan' when she saw a pair of my knickers on the washing line. They had a little lacy edging. She suggested I wore 'proper knickers'. Proper knickers meant the passion killer type - that also kept your armpits warm
@ lyric - my avatar is decorated instead of a tree. I don't have one to bling up this year, so I blinged up me instead

Make it mandatory to have a profile picture and minimum 150 word bio.
I know a lot of people will say that this isn't necessary but wouldn't it help reduce spammers. Admit it, most of the people on HP who spam are without a bio and avatar. I know there are some sock pockets that go through the extra trouble to create real-looking accounts but I am sure that after a...
