Subject: Your photo at Connecting Singles
Hello vintagerock,

Your primary photo on the site must be of YOU and must show YOUR full face. Photos are an option, not a requirement. If you wish to have photos with your profile, upload and maintain a primary photo that shows YOU clearly in a .jpg format, from 200-400 pixels in size - without colored effects. No cartoons, celebrities, avatars, or children's photos.

Regards,
ConnectingSingles.com

this is the email i got about the picture i had uploaded yesterday. what i don't understand is how was that picture violating any laws?? a LOT of people have put up pictures of parts of their face, why was mine any different? it wasn't nude, vulgar or infringing any copy rights, it most certainly wasn't a cartoon!

Vintagerock, as you were told, your primary photo on the site must be of YOU and must show YOUR face clearly. Photos are an option here, NOT a requirement. If you wish to have photos with your profile, you need to upload and maintain a primary photo that shows YOU clearly.

Members want to see who they are communicating with. They don't want to write to a picture of an animal, or cartoon, or a super close-up of someone's eye. Requiring a real photo creates accountability and adds a more 'real' feeling to the forums and site pages than looking at pages full of avatars, artwork, animals, celebrities, etc.

Also.. forums rules state that you may not post copies of emails in the forum.

and, of course, using this forum as an attention-getting platform to bash the site that provides it free of charge to you, is not a good idea either.

Site rules do not depend on their popularity. You agreed to abide by them when you clicked the button to join.
