The new system has allowed people to post pictures of themselves as avatars and elsewhere in the forum.
Is there a policy on this practice given that Rule 2 would suggest that this was against the rules?
Also, some people have used their real names - e.g. Hendrow has revealed his full name in his posts. I get that they are grown ups and are making their own decisions but I think that the mods should perhaps clarify what is allowed and what is not.
Can the website warn people against using selfies and real names when they create their accounts? This is becoming more and more common.
Surely some words can be shown at the point when a new user has to make a username and select a picture?
I have changed mine too, and issued an apology, what more is needed? I haven't seen Sarah since either. :C
Sorry, Hendrow my comment wasn't aimed at you but at two recent posters who have just signed up and used selfies as avatars.
Is everyone good here now, lol.
Thankyou !
I get the message i changed it
''Sorry, me too.'' I am a bit stressed with all these assessments coming up. (Capability to Work/ESA - PiP - plus HFA Aspergers assessment as well.) I was a little surprised at the amount of anonymity displayed here on this site. (Bear in mind, I had just rebooted my twitter account, I have 3 Facebook accounts- one of them with nearly 1,400 'friends'- A few are Dead, A few are famous, the rest are something in-between.) I was really lost when I first came here, just because of the pending Aspergers diagnosis. I decided to be very open with everyone, as I thought that might endear me to others. I shared my writing with you all, I even gave a handful of people both my mobile number and email address. I love to talk on the phone, mobile,Skype, fb messenger - You get the message. I have tried to engage where possible, as much as one man can. I have a couple of personal email addresses from members here. All in all it has been a nice experience for me. Maybe you guys that have been here a long time, can take all newbies under your wing's. I don't know, I think it is so difficult because we all have differing needs and wants. So what I see as a pane, is to some other person a pain. We are trying to cater for a wide spectrum of needs, I don't think one size fits all, will work here. You guys will sort it all out soon, I am sure. PS. Hendrow is a very unusual name, if I was to hide it, I would have to edit my writing, I would lose too much. For me it would not be worth the investment of time required to hide. As it is, I like you guy's and I like it here.
ANYONE want to talk about writing, just let me know,
Thanks Guy's,
Hendrow.
