PrettyCindy: As i have rightly observed, nairaland have a very large community/members. Is there a way we can have a page or something where we can be our real selves? Real name, true complete profile with pictures?

I will like to have friends here (both sexes) but its difficult because you don't know which man/woman that is married ( one has to be careful you know) or single, you don't know who is a teenager or who is matured.

Mr Seun am sure you get what am trying to say. While its fun doing the anonymous thing, lets have a page or update your profile to include marital status and age group pls.

Does anyone support this?

tpia@:
some states or countries are trying to pass bills that would remove the anonymity of the internet.

not necessarily a bad idea, imo.

Excelboi: Why should you know others anonymity? I don't buy the idea, it could lead to stalking and expose members to dangers.

I feel you sister.

But even so, there's no guarantee that people would actually do all that and be 100% truthful. Whilst your intentions might be honourable, the reality is there are others out there with less than honourable intentions. I'm referring to scammers, fraudsters, opportunists and the likes.

Being on an anonymous faceless forum gives people the chance to let go of any reservations they have and to project images of themselves - as what they might secretly want to be seen as - but in reality could be quite the opposite. It's all good fun at the end of the day, but like CC rightly mentioned, one has to be extremely careful here.

Heck! Moremi even pointed out in an earlier thread that for all we know, Jenny could infact be an elderly white male - and Moremi for all we know too, could even be an underaged teenage girl from Haiti using the only computer available in a remote village to come online sef

(Jeez, I hope neither of them see this o!)

okeyxyz: @PrettyCindy, it seems what you are looking for is a dating site, but @nairaland is a general purpose site that puts the choice and control of it's use at the hands of it's users to spin anyhow they like. if you wanna reveal yourself completely, then that's your choice, you'll have to bear the risks as well it's benefits.
