What do you think about misleading avatars?

INTERNET MARKETING

Personally, I really don't care what you have as an avatar. Mine's a freaking atomic bomb blast for crying out loud. Who am I to judge?

That being said, I saw one avatar for one member that I believe misrepresented that individual and looked more like just a way to get attention. Here's a hypothetical situation. Say someone has an avatar of them in a brand new Ferrari and in reality they are no where near being able to afford a Ferrari.

We're in a marketing forum and we sell products to each other. So...

Is it false advertising?
Is it unethical?
Should they change their avatar?

For the record the situation is purely hypothetical. The avatar in question has nothing to do with car. My point is only this...if you're avatar has nothing to do with you or your product and purely exists to entice people that would otherwise ignore you, should you take it down?

What's your thoughts?

I think it's probably best to have your photo there. I seem to remember people better and feel I can trust them if it's their real photo.

Mine is my pic, BUT, visualization does work, so if the 'ferarri' in question is the members 'dream' maybe it's just his or her way of reminding his or herself of that dream every time he or she posts.

To be honest about it, I don't think that is false advertising, unethical, or that that person or any other should have to change it to suit other members.

I caught myself this morning noticing that someone had what I thought was too provocative (sexy) of an avatar, but then thought about different ways people express themselves, and that it's not my place to sensor another.

Think about it, next thing you know people will be quibbling over nothing, or as Allen mentioned in one of his posts regarding infractions - "Someone gave an infraction to someone else because they thought that individual had an incorrect avatar" or something similar.

Atomic bomb or scantly dressed woman in a bikini--both unprofessional so same-same. :-) In a marketing forum it should be your picture or at least your business logo or business brand. But to each their own.

I think I know what you are saying and I agree...

You see if on Ebay sometimes, they will be selling something and will have a picture of a lovely girl in a skimpy bikini, it does catch the eye, however in a forum its a turn off and perhaps on ebay as well,

More so when the person is likely to not be a woman in the first place.

So yes, I agree, using pictures of a woman when your a man is really not a good thing.

  I think it looks a bit pathetic on eBay when the gallery photo is that of a woman's thong-clad butt in the air, especially when it has nothing to do with the product. Yet I've seen all kinds of things advertised in this way on there, particularly web hosting. The relevance escapes me.
  
  On here though, a photo of someone in a Ferrari might be someone's way of giving themselves something to aim for. I'm more likely to judge someone by the quality and content of their posts than I am by an avatar, but I'll admit that I'm shallow enough to wonder, if only fleetingly, whether a poster has a face like an open grave if they're using a picture of something else instead

An avatar is a computer user's representation of himself or herself. (Source:Wikipedia). Avatar or Avatara (Sanskrit: अवतार, IAST Avatāra) in Hindu philosophy is the 'descent' or incarnation of a divine being (deva) or the supreme being (God) onto planet Earth.

So You can consider your avatar as a best one SHOULD be your picture not even your GF pic...(lol)

In my opinion, You can use whatever avatar you want to. I seriously believe that people are not that gullible to picturize a member based on their avatars. The life style photos posted by some of the so called super affiliates, on their blogs, is a completely different thing though. I have seen many people fall for them.

Maybe it's my multiple trips around the block, but when I see a guy posing in front of a fancy car, all I see is a guy standing in front of a fancy car. Same for posing in front of a fancy house.

There's an outfit up the road a way that rents fancy cars to tourists who want to take in the sunshine is a sporty convertible. Anything from your garden variety Porsche or Ferrari to a vintage '65 Mustang. My wife and I walk onto the lot with a camera, and 30 seconds later I have a picture of myself posing with 'my' convertible.

After a few minutes' drive, we come to one of the barrier islands along the Gulf. We pull off to the side of the road, set our camera on the 'For Sale' sign and a few seconds later we have a picture of ourselves in front of 'our' multi-million dollar beach house.

An avatar is just a picture, no big deal...

I recall a cartoon in a magazine showing a canine typing on a computer, filling out a member profile. The caption: "On the Internet, no one knows you're a dog."

G`day,

well I`m not sure if I`ll put my pic up ... I have my favicon as my
avatar on about all forums I`m a member and always end my post
with my name (which I notice now not many do) ... don`t think I
have a pic of me with a shirt on ... who`d wanna see my hairy
stringbean chest!??

Branding is powerful ... so is visualisation but surely if one used the
visualization as a reason to put a cheesy expensive flash car up they
could better serve that purpose by printing the photo to a large size
and taping it above the monitor.

The "pretty woman when your a man" thing .... purely to attract
attention ... guess it`s similar to having your name in big fat capital
letters ... turn more people off than anything ... lol ... no stats on
that tho.

I have seen two that I really don't like at all, apart from that everyone is being quite sensible compared to what I have seen on forums elsewhere. I expect to see the envelope being pushed further and further over time.

The fact that I don't like them is my personal opinion and no-one else's. If Allen decides he doesn't like someones avatar or maybe he gets a lot of complaints about some avatars then I expect he will do something about it. Until then... well not a lot can be done other than to alert him that some people are concerned which is what this thread is doing.

The only person "misled" by an avatar is the person who allows themselves to be.

There is no hard and fast rule that says 'you must use your own photo'
do you think Allen really is a monkey?

There are some questionable avatars, one in particular (semi-clad woman) is
pushing it a bit.

I wouldn't pay much mind to someone's avatar in a business sense, unless it
was offensive - in which case I'd choose not to do business with that person.

I look at it this way:

I have my pic as my avatar (for better or worse, it's how I look! ).

If someone on this forum has an avatar that is offensive or simply puts people off, that is one person I have an advantage over, so to speak, because someone might do business with me, rather than that person.

So it doesn't bother me in the least.

  Personally, I like pictures. I think misleading avators remove the personal touch that people need when communicating with each other. The internet is so impersonable already.
  
  When someone sends me friend request and they have an avator, I feel leary. I like looking into a person's eyes to see their sincerity. I truely do believe that the eyes are the window to the soul. Feel free to look into mine. You'll see a lot is going on in there.

If Allen is not a cute little cigar smoking monkey, then I feel totally misled.

I don't actually think the original post was stupid. Everything that you post on here (and anywhere else for that matter) represents you and builds up your "brand". When you choose an avatar, it's worth thinking about whether it's saying something helpful (or at least neutral), or harmful about you. I've seen a couple of avatars that would cause me to take the poster less seriously. Of course it's their choice to post whatever type of avatar they want; they just may be making a poor choice.

I wear a Ferrari F1 cap in my avatar pic.

I am a big fan of Ferrari F1, but I still don't own a ferrari car,
and even if I had the money to buy it I think I wouldn't.

About misleading avatars, I think I wouldn't be influenced so
much by pics of forum users, I would investigate a little more
about the person.

Well, if you are building a brand you should use this medium to build your brand. My brand in this niche is my face and domain Focused2Win.com, and you can see both with my avatar.

Many people do not have a plan and try to look cool and not professional with their avatar. (in my opinion)

With this new feature I do judge a book by its cover. If I am trying to make a decision on a business deal I now take into account how they choose to display themselves here (if they are members) and on there websites.

Hi Allen,

An avatar picture representing your actual self seems to only come from Internet Marketing related websites. Here, it seems to be connected to business and branding, and for what this place is seems to be an accurate mindset of most posters.

I've used everything from Kristin Kreuk to Gandhi(from the movie UHF) to a monkey holding a gun as an avatar. It's a form of expression to me. It doesn't have to show WHO you are, but represent who you are.

Allan's obviously a little odd and he likes to show that. The nuclear explosion is memorable and that may be all the OP is shooting for.

Outside of IM forums people use anything and everything they want as avatars. Lately, with The Dark Knight being so popular, I've seen way too many Joker avatars to mention.

At the end of the day, I think an avatar is another form of expression. Like the signature, which also has the IM overtone of being used for advertising. I'm sure some places you just stick a quote in that box because you like the quote and then are done with your sig

  I have to agree with Donna. It's worth thinking about what you use as an Avatar.
  
  With more & more people using social sites (that use Avatars) for business communications and to reach their market, maybe it should be given some thought even if you simply use your brand/logo.
  
  Most newer blog themes are including Avatars for commenter's. The forum here has them along with a pic for your blog on the forum.
  
  The local paper uses their logo for their twitter Avatar & I will stop when scanning a page if I see their logo.
  
  I think mine sucks for this forum so it will be changed... but what do you thing about these Avatars:
  
  http://tinyurl.com/5ahtrm - World Village Blog
  
  http://tinyurl.com/6ypzp3 - Twitter
  
  http://tinyurl.com/35reku - My Blog (several people have sent me emails about how pretty my horse is in this one and inquired about it) Well it's not my horse. I was on vacation in Canada.
  
  http://tinyurl.com/5alz6z - Facebook
  
  http://tinyurl.com/6yfhpe - iTunes
  
  Any of these give off a feeling of - trustworthy, honest, knowledgeable, would do business with?
  
  Didn't think so lol. I know... thank goodness my kids got their Mom's good looks.
  
  Anyway I think what you use should be considered in the light of whatever message you most want to convey.
  
  Tony Blake's picture "The Angry Marketer Blog" seems to be a good job of branding. He uses it on all the social sights (I think) and he does look angry.
  
  I'm sure you can pick up on many more examples.
  
  Off to look for the right Avatar pic. Thanks Atomic Bomber now I'm freaked out by all of mine.

  Hey dbh,
  
  Funny you should say that. Back in 1978 I was 21 and just married with my first son on the way and was working a second job as a security guard on the weekends.
  
  One Sat afternoon me and another guy are told that Chuck Norris and some other celebrities are going to be showing up at this mall for a charity event and that me and the other guy are going to escort them in safely.
  
  They show up and Chuck is actually about 5'5" - 5'7" and I'm 6'5" walking through the mall "protecting" Chuck Norris.
  
  So now I'm able to tell folks that I was Chuck's body guard for a day!
  
  Thanks

  My take on this issue ...
  
  I don't really mind what's in your avatar, but please, this isn't high school anymore.
  
  I don't mind having a scantly dressed woman on my screen, but the person behind it better be in the dating niche or whatever, and enlighten us with his post. Otherwise, I see it only as another desperate scream for attention. And I know Allen enough to see just how the monkey relates
  
  Nothing wrong with letting your personality show. Truth be told, you'd see me in the street you'd think I'm just one of those Raver kids wearing pants that could probably land me safely on good ground if I jumped out of an airplane.
  
  I dress as I like and state my opinion. But I don't go out of my way to shock or pull stunts to attract attention. And it's my picture you see on the left.
  
  Now, while I got nothing about showing off your interests or hobbies or whatever you think defines you in your avatar .... I think nothing would ever suit you as your own picture, especially in the awesome networking resource that is the warrior forum.
  
  I, for one, pay a lot more attention to posts made by people with their faces on my screen rather than flashy pictures. Maybe it's a matter of rapport, maybe it's just a reflexive response to blatant attempts to hype, but that's the way it is.
  
  Now, let's just hope this doesn't open a new can of worms and turns the WF into another myspace ...
  
  Alex.
  
  Thanks

And I don't know that I trust anyone whose avatar only shows one eye. It seems sneaky, Jay. hmmm.....

Seriously though, I think the OP had a good point! Whatever you post, whatever picture you use, is liable to live forever on the internet and be associated with your name. There are a couple of avatars on here - okay, one is standing out in particular and I think it's the one several people hinted at - as really not a great idea.

See, atomic bomb man, this wasn't the worst thread ever started. Not even the second worst.

Yikes, is that what I'm doing? That might explain why, when I posted my picture on the radio site Jango.com, a guy who had a picture of himself with a snake around his neck sent me a message saying "Damn ur hot." No I was not flattered; I was alarmed. I took my picture down. (Didn't have my full name or location on there.)

Now go design yourself a cape. What kind of superhero are you without a costume?

It depends...

One person, that I have noticed, is using a stock photo of a woman. If you check their profile/images, they have other stock photos of this person.

This leads me to think this person is trying to mislead people. Especially since they have many of them. Of course they could be a model for stock photo companies but I dought it.

In this case, I do think it's wrong because of the intent.

  Sure, a person's choice in avatar, as in cars or anything, is led by their own perception of reality as well as how they perceive themselves to be.
  
  The way I dress, the words I choose to say, are all so many ways to express my views and impress my reality on others. In doing so I am fully aware that I will be judged in return, and that will probably alienate some people - mostly people I wouldn't want to do business with in the first place anyway. Those who can relate will in turn be bound by a sense of newfound rapport, and true interactions may then take place - to me it's all about integrity.
  
  So yep, I do judge people by whatever actions or decisions they make as I believe in each's potential to be whoever they want to be, rather than doom and gloom stories, whether blessings or curses.
  
  And I expect others to do the same towards me...
  
  To sum up (warning: crude language ahead) ...
  
  If you don't want others to call you a whore, don't act like a whore.

I don't know about you guys, but on this forum where most of us who have avatars put up photos of ourselves (unless you are intentionally misleading us with a photo that isn't of you!), if someone comes on with a bikini girl avatar, I'd think twice about what his/her post has to contribute to the overall thread.

Or maybe it's just the feminist in me not wanting to see women objectified

The point here is that we have a growing community of Ladies here and I for one think it is a good thing, sort of balances out the forum nicely.

I think we should respect that and we should understand what will happen if this is not discussed, eventually you will have guys in thongs,

Trust me, this is not something you want to happen.

I say we should keep it clean as far as avatars go, a respectful place where people come to both learn and conduct business.

The OP was trying to be polite, and it was not fully understood by all, but we all know what this is about,

I dont want to see thongs, on anyone here ok, not my idea of a good time, and if that is what people want they know where to get that just not here.

I get your point but at the same time its only an avatar. There isn't that much you can do to mislead people in that short little space. At least not in the marketing sense.

Maybe on a dating site you could have fake pictures of yourself to increase your "hotness" but I can't think of much negative things an avatar can do for your marketing.

  I think members have a tendancy to identify or relate with the people they're chatting it up with. In most cases, we try to "guess" what type of person they are based on the avatar they chose and see if it matches the way they post. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. But it does give a little bit of insight to who we are. Does it matter what they chose? Not really but it does make it easier to locate them online.

Hi guys!

I really like to see what people look like particularly as this is a forum where (potentially) money will change hands.

You can tell a lot from someone's face and it is also very nice to be able to write back to Dear [your name] rather than "Xbolby" or some thing similar.

But ultimately as has been said it isn't the biggest problem on forums.

On the original point regarding miss-representation, if that is the clear aim (to suggest that the offering has produced major success) and it has not I believe that is wrong. If it is done in an aspirational way (visualisation of goal) then hopefully this would be made clear one-way-or-the-other.

Best wishes,
Carl Henry

  Hi,
  
  Personally I'm more likely to have a little more trust for someone who appears to 'show themselves.'
  
  For example, mo-fo does all night vid-casts of himself getting lathered and doing various other things in shorter videos. He puts himself out there and he claims that this increases his sales. I believe him.
  
  Neither way is right or wrong, but I think it makes a difference - and I reckon you can tell that by the posts that people make.
