-=[ Why people hide there identity? ]=-
-
Salaamun all,
I am curious to know why people hide their identity from others? Is there any specific reason or reasons?
Please get me the reasons you think, as I found almost everyone doing the same.
All reasons are welcome.
Take care,
KhanPeace
That has been my question since I have been on this screen. The people like osee real people behind such discussions and the messages loose its power and trust when writer hides behind cyber id.Sometime the name is long and prefer to chose shorter one and signaling our belief which is not wrong and some the people are living in Mohammedans territories that are afraid from being apostate rejecting Hadith . But finally theu can not hide from investigating and finding them.
But people living in places that there is no censorship but afraid from their environment to be harassed or be terrorized think they are protected when birth and death of us is under God?s control unless we think He can not protect us.
GW we are going to start a forum with Real names which brings trust to people read the information.
If you like to be invited to such forum please email me with your phone number which would be protected from public and is used just for verification.
By the way you have not filled all information in your profile

I personally do not look at hiding real names as hiding behiding a screen or necessarily because of fearing persecution. I do not feel in favour of one or the other, but I think choosing a screen name helps not forming a preconceived opinion about the editor. After all, what does putting the real name serve? How woud you know if the name I am using is my real name or an alias? And on the contrary, I find forums insisting on first and surnames as suspecious. Why would they insist that I display my name? They can have all the details they want without displaying them.

I agree with you to a certain point that information is more important than name of author. But these forums are not like jokes, entertainment or other one that we do not care about who is writing it. Here we talk about search and study that some of those may take days, weeks or months.
It is like school you are teacher. The people read these informations can support it and give more positive reaction and when they want to inform others they can not say that was authored by a none person under cyber id.
Touching serious subject like Glorious Reading and explaining messages would have more effective when the source is known.
Birth and death of human is not under control of any other human unless God Willed.
If we be killed in the path of infrming others of God?s messages we are saved and not real death.
But God give us all kind of tools to save us from dangers and even permit us to give lip service with idol worshipers if our heart is beating with God Alone.
God has give us freedom that even we can kill ourselves but it is sin and it is mistake . If I jump over the bridge or use poisons in my body by inhaling or drinking it to likk ourself is our mistake not God?s Will.

Dear all,
I don't think that fraud can take place with anyone's name age and sex info. pic may not be good for females. I think in this world of mistrust we must try to enhance it with little gestures. Not talking about detailed personal information but some basics may not be the problem. I don't see a problem with e-mail address except you receiving too many mails or mails with viruses.
Regards.

Moin, Moin Sis and Bro...
...using nicknames and photos are certainly means to protect ones privacy and/or saftey. no objection to that.
On the other hand can a nickname and a nice picture enhance the own profil by making it more interesting and therefore better to remember. In the chatrooms a interesting nick is like a signboard and can help to come into contact with people you maybe not talk to on the street.
Secondly nicks and photos can help to transport a message to others, working as a first statement, impression.
Personally I like the mesage in anna's pic. Always makes me laugh a bit.For myself that is my real name and if u want to know me a little more u can find me at www.friendster.com . When u find my name with the two Kendoka then u got me.
Peace upon You....CHRIS

Respectfully.There are plenty of reasons.
I gave my real name because it's just a name.
I can always change my name.Peace.

Peace.True, I agree with what you wrote, these could be the reasons that people hide their identity. But my question was in general not particular to free-minds. And I asked it because of curiosity, not to point anyone.
BTW, I never thought of filling my profile. Not because, I want to hide myself, I think, I am the only one who is very open, my story has been added in detail in this forum. I don't know whether I have done right or wrong, but I thought no problem in sharing with my brothers and sisters in Islam.
Thank you for your reply.
