Female or Male indicator

[Scottinboca]

I would love to see a pink for female and blue for male dot next to members names when making posts. I have gotten confused a few times when responding to a post, thinking the op was the opposite sex. It causes some embarrassment when it happens. People have animal pics as their avatar and it makes it difficult distinguish. I always try to remain respectful when posting, but it would be easier if I knew the sex of the person I was posting about or to. Just a suggestion if you could make some identifier so people can be addressed properly. Thanks!!!

Moderators and Admins have held an emergency session and took this issue to a vote.

We think the forum is much funnier without this option.

English has the option to talk to someone if you dont know if it is a girl or a boy, I am trying to learn how to use it, I have been flirting to boys thinking they were girls It was funny after all as Johny says

Lis, if you don't know the sex of the person, just refer to that person as "they".

 

[johnnymaestro]

My joking aside though, I don't expect that we would include this option because we want to be careful to not call attention to gender. It could possibly make the people who don't use the option stick out more when they would like to be a bit more ambiguous.

One suggestion, could be to look at their profile. It may give you more information. Or also if referring to someone, just use their name. It can be hard to discern sometimes.

Roly and Sarge look at these threads so your suggestion will definitely be heard

Johnny, Liscab is the forum Casanova, so maybe it could be set up, so only he could see the gender of the person?

they is plural Jerry when i don't know I know how to handle but some time i think I know but my thinking is wrong, you have seen that a lot of time

Dont trust profiles

 

[JerryRM]

If you are referring to someone, Lis and you don't know the gender of that person, instead of saying "he is" or "she is" and getting it wrong, just say "they are", or like Johnny said, use their forum name.

Just make sure, before you flirt with them.

I don't trust the avatars either! For all I know you're the nicest pipe smoking short haired lady I've ever seen!

... 976 Babe

 

[JerryRM]

Classy, where's the rest of that phone number? Inquiring minds want to know.

 

[classwife]

That information will cost you $5.75 for the first 3 minutes...

 

[JerryRM]

That's too expensive, I think I will just stick with flirting on the forum.

You can also use 'they' as a singular, Lis. It is especially set up like that in English to confuse continentals.

We don't like all that sex in the language, or all those accents and fancy bits. All that stuff was removed centuries ago. Unnecessary.

What we might do is have a profile setting that says 'Check this box if you are a latin-type continental fella or similar'. Then you would get to see all sorts of additional info about a member who posted. Maybe first name, sex, sexual preference (if any), marital status, religion, car, job, age, color of hair, location, vegetarian or carnivore, country of origin of grandparents, favorite sport / pastime / food / drink, pet hate, political affiliation, criminal record, inside leg measurement, best poker game result, position on alien life forms, believe in zombies yes/no, is it all down to global warming or just the regular glacial cycle, and all that stuff.

I'm sure you would be a lot happier

All we have to do is figure out how to persuade Harry the coder to fix it.

Oh oh, we woke up Roly.

What about me? I'm a phoenix...a male phoenix.
