Hello there,
The discussion title might have caught your attention :) Well, the question is about putting your real photo or name on the internet websites like MyEC. What are the pros and cons of using your real names and photos on the internet?

Well, I speak only for myself. I have a unique name. Yes, only one "NotAClue" in the whole world wide web exists at this time... So it's pretty easy to get my address and phone number. Would anyone want this? I don't. And why should I use a real picture of myself as profile pic?? Do I need attention? Nope, got enough weirdos in my real life already. So a definite NO from my side. Also I'm totally not interested how other people look like. When I know people for a longer period of time this might change... but otherwise it's of no interest to me.
Different question: Is a heavily photoshopped photo still a real photo?
Greetings!
For learning English or practising it, there is no need to show gender, country or any identity. Someone ask me "are you male or female? I replied him, " I haven't decided yet" hahaha.
So, if you aren't a banger you haven't to hide anything, or in other cases there are people who have a certain backgrounds and they have no how to show their faces
But i say that when we're talking about hide or show it depends only on you...
So, people if we consider that if i show my face i'll be exposed to dangerous situations is something very strange. Because from one way or another you are able to face problems at any time
Arif, guess you misunderstood the point)
I got what Sister Rosemary said. I was just kidding
I agree with Rosemary on her point. We should support each other without having any personal interest and gain.
Rosemary, agreed totally. Thank you for your comment.
I underline Estanis' words.
If we are honest and sincerely interested in using this site properly, we don't have to hide anything.
It isn't anything wrong to show our face, and play with open cards, in the opposite, it's just good behavior.
Someone who wants to harm you will find you also when you don't show your real identity in MyEC. Nowadays, we are only almost secure if we don't use any social media, at all, and if we use them, there are many tools to protect ourselves. It costs just some effort and time.
Many members say MyEC is like a second home to them. Who to hell hides his face and identity at home????
