                 my comments are never influenced by the down raters since they have as much say in anything as... a one year old with Down Syndrome.

My guess is because they want to be able to sit there and stare at a female (body)

Edit: Or to pretend to be female to get stuff 1). wanting to play a female character just to stare at the *** is like saying "I can't get porn because my mom controls the computer so her *** is the closest I'll get."
 
2). Pretending to be female to get stuff while only send that little boy down a road of *** pounding, very flamboyant outfits, and finger snapping louder than Rosie O'Donnell's snatch every time a hot chick walks by

                 Honestly, forums trolls will rate down real-life pictures because they are generally paranoid and/or self-loathing people. 
When someone posts a picture, it threatens the forums trolls, because the picture interjects reality into the comfort the trolls enjoy within the anonymous world of the internet. 
 
If someone's a plain-looking average nobody, unemployed, and living with his parent(s) in the basement or attic, then that person will object to your picture, especially if it reminds him of the success he isn't enjoying, the real-life happiness he is lacking, and the good looks he doesn't have.
 
With a few exceptions, "normal" adults that contribute meaningfully to society and earn a living or at least socialize outside the home frequently don't spend enough time online to browse forums. So, if you post a real-life picture on these (or any MMORPG-related forum), know who your audience is going to be, and don't be shocked if most of the viewers don't like your photo. And don't be offended if people "rate it down". The whole concept of rating forums posts is a complete waste of time and doesn't deserve your attention unless you are an attention-craving ***.

                 If you're a delicate little flower then just disable ratings/comments and shut the *** up. It's sad how poorly people take criticism these days. 
Are you so eager for validation that you need the approval of anonymous strangers you'll never meet?
 
For a list of reason I rate down RL photos:
 
1.) I can see the camera. It's not hard to take a self-photo without the aid of a mirror.
 
2.) Using flash in a well-lit room.
 
3.) Duck-face. I'll never understand what made girls think this was hot or cute or any other positive adjective. It's not.
 
There's more but they're mostly nitpicks.

                 I'm not afraid to rate down, but I don't rate very often either way.  I don't mind people posting rl pics either, most the pics I've seen posted have been fine.  
As for sheila though... she doesn't deserve two threads, lol.  I posted my opinion in the other thread so I won't say anything about that now.  I'm not jealous, I just honestly am not attracted to her or girls in general; I don't want to see it everywhere.  Lol.  And yeah, I was sick of seeing the pics but FFXIAH also isn't  the only ffxi related site I've seen her plastering them all over, even the inappropriate ones.

                 As you’d expect, running costs are high. Even with the ‘fuel-efficient’ 3.5-litre V6 diesel due next year, the car still musters only 22.5mpg. Dodge doesn’t publish economy figures for the SRT-8 – which tells you something. But then, who buys a 6.1-litre performance car to conserve petrol?

                 Dunno, but there's plenty of folks on these boards who have posted snide comments or rate-downs of other folks' RL pictures, in some cases for years, while refusing to ever post one of themselves.
 It's hard to think of anything more pathetic.

Umm... its clear you wouldnt know the new sticker price on a dodge viper if you think you could get one for 68K.  try 6 figures for an SRT-10 fully loaded Viper jackass.  I didn't buy a viper bc I personally don't find them all that comfortable to drive in.  Also, I was on a waiting list from March 2008 to get a limited edition SRT8.  I'm curious to know what you drive now.  And also, side note:  What kind of *** idiot subs DNC on their DRG?  Fail!  NEVER SUB NIN or DNC on DRG, and its clear ur not doing nyzul on DRG at that lvl.

The only truly insecure people here are the females showing off their *** because they're just THAT desperate for attention and validation. Most of the guys here don't even fit the 'WoW/MMO Stereotype'.
 
I'd down rate someone with their boobs jacked upto their chin because it's just crying out 'attention ***'. Not because 'lolinsecurity'.

                 hate hate hate ^.^  
 You know what trolls hate more than an attractive guy in an avatar pic showing off their cars and such...
 pics of the same guy showing off lots of different hotties...so now, every day I will update my avatar pic to reflect a new hot chick in my "possession"  ;)
 
 
 
    
    
        
        I have seen this done a number of times, a player simply puts a picture of themselves, man or woman, and usually gets rated down, and abused because they put a picture,and get told this aint facebook/myspace/bebo or wherever people go.
 Personally i dont see anything wrong with it, maybe they want their friends in game to actually know what they look like?
 
 Why do girls get ridiculed for putting up any pictures that may be slightly revealing? Come on what is wrong with that? Why would you hate this? Personally i think if girls are not shy to do that, and wish to show off some costumes, or just to show how beautiful they are, then why hate them for it?
 
 Does it all come down to the simple word, known as Jealousy?
 
 Or does it come down to the fact that players only want to see final fantasy related pictures, but then again, this is completey contradictory, because i have seen those threads of Pictures that make you LOL, which usually have nothing to do with FFXI.
 
 This is not me trying to stick up for some one, but just curious as why people hate this much, over a simple thing like a picture of someone, whats your thoughts???
