True, so you don't have to use your picture.  Something else which is obviously not you, and not intended to be misleading (like a tropical bird) would do. 

Or a potato. Innocent

Potatoes are acceptable, provided you're not posing as a root vegetable.  Threre are plenty of genuine vegetables on chess.com and that sort of thing can get them a bad name.

After being on here 2 weeks people kept suggesting I change my profile pic. No idea why but I may change back to the real me.

While passing off fake pictures as your own may not seem very serious in itself, it does raise the question of what else someone may be lying about.  If someone wants to mislead you about their identity, how far would they be prepared to go?  Would you trust anything that person told you about themselves?  Would they also be capable of cheating in their games?

There are quite a lot of cheats who are really not very smart at concealing their activites, and are regularly caught and ejected.  Unfortunately they can quite easily start all over again, using the same methods, because the site does not enforce permanent bans.
