Don't you think everyone should have to fill out a COMPLETE profile including pics and logs in order to post here? That way you can put a face and a location to some of the dumb ass statements people say!!

well, even if the owners did that, i doubt theyd be able to check if someone actually has a pic of them on the profile and not just some random pornstar from the net

That would completely kill the whole spirit of internet opinion forums! Without being faceless, you would not get honest opinions. Identifying everyone would suppress a form of free speech. It doesn't bother me that some folks turn into egomaniac douch-bags on this forum. They either have self esteem issues or are overcompensating for their lack of real skills.
Trolls will be trolls, but there is lots of good info to be had on this forum as well.

Except that one with the tattoos.
Anyone else remember that one? definitly not justified to be in the worst photos thread.

I was actually just thinking about this the other day.
On some other forums, you'll actually get hassled for not filling out your profile. I like to look at others profiles to see 1. what their experience is 2. their background 2. what they look like. I've had people contact me in the past to go climbing, but had nothing in their profile. In most cases, I won't climb with them.

Does that mean if they're cute, but lacking in experience, you'll still climb with them? Because I may be able to turn that kind of discrimination to my advantage...

It's a slippery slope you are suggesting heading down here. "I'll give you all the personal info. on me that you want. I've got nothing to hide." That sounds a lot like the Bush administrations idea of wire tapping and personal searches of internet history.
Free speech is nurtured by annonimity.

v. good to know. I'm trying to get back into climbing, but it's been two years, and I'm nervous putting myself out there looking for climbing partners.
No one likes to get laughed at, and I'm hoping that more experienced climbers will understand that I'm not just looking to get the 'jenny craig'.
That said, I've also uploaded a recent, cute photo in the hopes that'll help my cause

I do and don't agree. Having the option of anonymity certainly changes things, but for every person it provokes a more honest and unguarded response from, it makes it easier (for whatever reason) for others to add imaginary inches to their, uh... ape index.
In fact, I'd say more people hide behind anonymity to spray pointless bullshit about things they know nothing about... although I guess that's a truer side of those people's personalities, so maybe I'm in total agreement with you then.
Doesn't matter to me though; I think it's better to have a general mix and I have no interest in forcing people to share more of themselves than they want to on the internet of all places.

Are you like the Street Fighter games? Can't count past 2?
(They eventually came out with a Street fighter 3, but not after having several editions of Street fighter 2...)
hosh.

why do you want to tell bunch of wannabee n00bs who are clueless about rope and hardware about what you done ?
Keep it to yourself, keep your profile clean. Your good profile only makes them more upset and jealous.

I want everyone to feel bad (and jealous) from the glory of my sheer average-ness.
Also, to the OP, I'm having a hard time putting a face to your name since your face doesn't show up anywhere in your picture in your profile page:
I'll just look for a short drunk in a helmet... although that describes a lot of climbers.

Agree. I do check profiles sometimes, for the same reason. With one exception -- I don't care what someone looks like and whether they have a teddy bear instead of the profile photo.
I do like the climbing log and I try to keep mine current b/c I use it to track my progress (or lack thereof, LOL) and I think many people who do use it use it for the same reason.
Still, REQUIRING everyone to fill out the profiles will result in all sorts of jokers filling in some random crap. It just doesn't work on the internet.
