Just remember the old Integramod forums had those, but I don't think we had problems with it back then in any case.

Re: Gender

I think we should because some new comes on and thinks your a girl what would you feel like

I've now accused two or three guys of being girls, over TeamSpeak. Too young, voices hadn't broken, sounded like girls 10 years older... :eek:

Wouldnt this make it more susceptible to identity theft, by either someone pretending theyre a male/female, or someone finding out you ARE a male/female? Not to be a party pooper, but you know how it is with identities these days.

How about having a "Confirmed Gender" which basicly requires teamspeak :)

After reading above ^^ , bit late now, i see this is faulty, but the person only has to say in Ts that they're not or are whatever if its confusing.... ah nevermind, why dont we have the option anyway?

That's probably not a big issue. Besides, I'd plan to include a "Not Telling" gender option.

Yes, a non-mandatory option would be a big plus. Would then mean people who don't want to don't have to! :D

Fom my point of view it would be good as it would make people aware that I am not a 12 yr old boy!!!

And it would help make people aware that there are girls in the haven net and this might attract more girls!!

I think thats a good thing!

And to be honest, you guys work out who is male and female anyway so it wouldnt be a massive issue from a privacy point of view if people knew what gender you were, as soon as they speak to you or chat im sure they could work it out!!

Im an exception!

Hey, Gopha!

Leave Midge alone! I think it's very cute he sounds exactly like thatbird.

I'm serious, we have mistook him before. Speaking of Midgert, anyone seen him?

On topic: Not the whole identity theft thing again? :p

Bring on the genders!

Hmmm it says he was last active a couple of days ago.

Anyway back to the topic, I agree with the non-mandatory option.

I always like having to figure out someone's gender. I love surprises. Not knowing gender also means people will treat eachother more naturally.

Those who want people to know can always put it in their nicknames. :)
