I mean, honestly, what is there to gain by posting here at all? The idea is comoradare or community, ultimately. It would be like people hanging out in TC all night never being on cam. It's nice to know what the person looks like that you're talking to, it's simply a friendly gesture. I get why some people are paranoid or have issues with showing their face or voice, but others don't have those issues and don't have the fear related to them.
The advantage is you are who you say you are and can demonstrate it instead of remaining forever anonymous. That's really all it is. Unless of course you have something to hide.
Really though I can't think of a single instance since I joined zoklet that revealing oneself backfired on them, at least just showing a picture. Hell Kreepy had her can show incident and aside from a few thanks on zoklet, nobody ever made it personal or brought it into her actual life. We're not as sinister as some may be lead to believe. But that's just, like, my opinion man.
