❗ Don't crop a risky picture for your profile picture ❗
The admins announced that when you chose a profile picture, you can then crop it to decide which part you want to show as a profile picture. See https://similarworlds.com/groups/admin-announcements/4031725-Crop-Profile-Picture-Hi-Similar-Worlds-Id-like-to
Now the problem is, there exists a trick where another user can get a hold of the [u]original uncropped picture[/u].
So please don't use an image for your profile picture which displays things you don't want others to see. For example even if you crop off your face to remain anonymous, there are users who can use the trick to see your face then.
There are probably lots of Sweeps who know how to do this trick, because I learned about it from a post years back.
If you crop it manually before you add it to SW, then there is no problem.
UPDATE: It's not a trick anymore. It is a feature. You can now click the picture on someone's profile to see the original one.
