Because people can copy and paste your picture and pretend to be you like I'm about to do.
see..
Now that I've changed my avatar I will now change my name to yours
watch..
You seem like a nice person so I changed it back... You've learned your lesson!

Just in case someone I know is on here and read my questions about mad periods, or boyfriend trouble, or something else that I don't want the world to know! I like to keep anonymous.
That and I can't find any pictures of myself that I'm happy enough about to show the rest of the world.

Because we are part of a secret club that you don't know about and we are special agents fighting against all wrong in the world, therefore, we have to hide our true identities for the sake of saving the world!!
Oh crap!! Sorry fellow avatar folks, I didn't mean to spill our top secret!! Doh!

Because keeping privacy doesn't give ideas to so many perverts out there... So many cases of perverts getting information from minors and from pictures and then suffering consequences as so many cases already happening on MySpace for example...

Because it is really easy to just stay online and play with avatar features and once it is there, it is whatever. Plus some of us don't necessarily want to have our actual face connected to all of these Q's and A's.

Great!
Now I have to up load a photo of my self, so people don't think I'm trying to falsify who I am.
Can't I have some anonymity?
I kinda like my digital self, it's so easy to change hair styles, among other things.

Because we can. I'd rather have an Avatar, than booties up in the air, trying to be sexy? My message, is the content not some orgy pic.

I personally don't want to share my identity with people on the net for privacy reasons. But if people do, I think that's great too. It gives people an image of who they're talking to or getting advice from.

Simply put, too many people have had problems with putting their pictures on the internet. I don't want to be a statistic.
