[quote=CANADAGUY,296192]>>Sorry for being off the point, Canadaguy. To keep the point, I agree with what Cherry said. If you visit Tianya (probably the biggest online community in China), you will find that many members are anonymous too. In order to keep their privacy, they even use 马甲 (Ma 3 Jia 2). I guess that you hear this word for the first time. Usually, those who frequently visit the forums prefer to register several accounts. They just set one as their main accounts. The other accounts are called Ma Jia. In Tianya community, those members prefer to use 马甲 to express their personally feelings or privacy because they won't others to know it is HE/SHE.<<

Hi Jimmy, thanks for replying again to this thread.
It's interesting to read what you wrote about, how people keep their privacy on another site by using various methods.

But it still doesn't answer my question really. I was asking if Chinese people are bashful. 
If they are truly bashful, then using the methods you mentioned to hide their identity would make sense.

Of course people might want to hide their identity for a number of different reasons.

So again, I ask if you think Chinese people are bashful?
If you don't think they are bashful, please explain what reasons they may have for not wanting to post their pics?

In the west it has become very popular to post your pic on computer sites.
So much so, that various sites (Facebook being a famous one) are set up to show other people your 'face' and other details of your life.
