Safety Discussion - Profile Pictures
Hey hey everyone! đŠˇ
Welcome to the first Safety Discussion in forums! đ
Your profile picture is one of the first things users notice when they stumble on your profile. It is something which shows who you are as a person, to members and listeners alike.
Many of you have wondered what is an appropriate and safe profile picture, and how to choose a photo for your profile picture, that does not violate 7 Cupsâ site guidelines. If youâre confused about picking the right picture for your profile picture, then donât worry! That is what this discussion is for đ
Letâs dive in! đ
What is a safe profile picture?
An appropriate and safe profile picture IS the one that:
Exudes warmth, positivity, compassion, and friendlinessÂ
Is unique - it should not be used anywhere else on the Internet
Something you feel comfortable showing to the entire world
An appropriate and safe profile picture IS NOT:
One of your social media pictures, as reverse image search is easy these days đŹ
Representative of violent, sexually explicit, political or any triggering/graphic content.
A picture of celebrities, or flags [identity flags (e.g. pride flags) are okay!]
Now for the fun part - questions! đĽ
In your eyes, what is an appropriate and safe profile picture?
Are there any grey areas while choosing pictures for your profile picture? If yes, what are those grey areas?
A fun question for you!
What profile picture would you choose to represent yourself?
