    I'm not trying to cheat anyone with my lack of a photo because I'm not after any friends to connect with on here. And I'd only be interested in anyone else's photo if I wanted to stalk them. Otherwise as far as I'm concerned we're all just internet accounts here with a human voice behind them, that's all anyone else is entitled to. You want up to date photos, try a dating site or social media.

    I thought this site was more about fitness than prettiness, so I hide my homely face in my profile pic.

    Also, some people need to maintain privacy in photos that appear publicly because of their professions or for personal reasons.

    You wouldn't want anyone to know that you exercise and log your calories....?

    I don't think I've ever spent 2 seconds thinking about what people use as their picture on here. But it would be incredibly creepy if someone used someone ELSE's picture. That's weird. If it's just old or outdated, who cares? I feel like the pictures are a pretty irrelevant part of this site to me.

    There was a guy using a photo of a fitness trainer as himself. The photo was of Marc Fitt. I have numerous examples but this is just one of them.

    To me, it's relevant because that's all we have is a photo. I just want to know who I'm talking to. Haha
    @1CountryGirl05 I completely understand. I've met a few awesome local mfp people and their photos were current. However there were 2 that were misleading af! One girl was roughly 20yrs older and another wasn't the person in any of her pics.

    Passing off pictures of others as yourself is lame.

    But using outdated pictures isn't.

    I don't care about someone's profile pic. On this site it's one of the least informative parts of someone's profile. I'm much more interested in what they have to say. This isn't Tinder. I don't care what people look like.

    If I want to stalk someone on the forums for fitness inspiration then I'll check out the success stories and find someone who has posted pics there.

    I just found out I can view the reports. Evidently me being cheerful and having a positive outlook on life is frowned upon in a thread created for people to b!tch about others. (separate thread)

    Everyone in this thread is cool. No reports. lol :)

    In a thread in Forum Feedback, a moderator said while regular members cannot educate other posters on the proper use of the Abuse flag, for misflagged posts we can Flag > Report > Other and let the mods know that a post was misflagged and they will clear the flags they agree are wrong.

    Come on. That is obviously an old picture. Nobody has used that font for at least a decade. I can't believe you're trying to deceive us like that!

    You got me. My dog mauled those poor girls to death... She doesn't touch our chickens now. She gives them a pretty wide berth.
