I [originally</a> posted this in the Community and Forum Issues](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=356031]originally”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=356031) subforum, but I don’t think anyone looks there, so:

The End.

PS> snoopy, you thought I was a guy, too? :’(.

2

You’re a girl?!?!?! (i.e. poking the bear)

3

I think people can tell what gender I am, but I do agree with you. :smiley:

4

Indeed. It is quite obvious that Jman is an android.

5

Mmm, I enjoy the androdgyny.

I actually think it’s a really good idea though. Especially because, <em>for the most part</em>, CC users are above having usernames like “HotGurl69” or “RickNinePlus”.

Discover your friends’ true genders! Vote YES on Proposal 1!

Or is it too early for elections?

Yeah. For the most part, anyway.

7

I agree that gender should be included!

8

I couldn’t agree more with u CurlyFry!..
BTW, I’m a girl also!

Tis done… you can choose between Female, Male, or Unsure/Unknown/Not Saying. :wink:

10

Democracy prevails! Freeeeeedom!!!

Much thanks.

11

Male/Female/Undecided

lol.

Making the info show up in the posts is a bit trickier and will require some special coding. What should the designator be? Pink or blue dots? Little Mars/Venus icons? Dress/pants icons like airport restrooms? Clean (!) suggestions?

13

I’m liking the idea of pink/blue dots… especially, if it say “Female/Male” when you scroll over them…

14

I like the little mars/venus icon…

15

If possible, you could make male usernames show up in blue and female usernames show up in pink.

16

I seem to like the dress/pants combo. But I wonder how the Not Telling people will fare. Little skorts? Maybe pink and blue (and …green?) dots next to the member type? Or mars/venus icons. And while you’re on a roll, you could get rid of thread count too, as it doesn’t show anything.

Worth a shot. :smiley:

I think some of the females would probably take issue with that.
But then if we give them more choices for colors, the appeals for more colors would be endless.

18

I vote Aye.

19

I ACTUALLY MANAGED TO CHANGE SOMETHING ON CC!

Yay democracy! Thanks Roger!

I take issue with a pink dot, though. I will not be associated with the colour pink, it’s my least favourite colour.

Yes, great idea.

Haha! Thread count works.
