You might think that's flattering, but I don't care what those people think about me and I definitely didn't ask them for their opinion -- whether or not it's in my favor. Do women like cat-calls from neighborhood windows and construction workers? No, it's rude and it implies that I exist for their enjoyment.
At the end of the day, in an era where facial- and location-recognition software are becoming more and more the norm, I don't need threads about my "nice ass" being tied to my face and my whereabouts on an open forum where anyone with a grudge against me personally or just somebody that hates my face could go and start drama without my presence and ability to defend myself.
In nearly every single thread with a picture of someone, there is a comment or two asking "Does this person live in X?" or "Is their name Y?" A (somewhat humiliating) photo of an acquaintance was posted and made it to the front page, and it seemed like everyone knew a girl that looked like her and named names, trying to work together to solve this unwanted mystery.
In the worst scenarios, you'll get exes that go off the rails and start listing off details about them before a mod finds the post. Privacy is a right, not a privilege, and while the lines blur and it becomes more of an ethical issue between who you trust with images/information you post online, it should still be treated from the perspective that gawkers should find their kicks elsewhere.
