Why no sex or age info???

Why no sex or age info???

Anywhere in a users info would be nice.

Not everyone picks a username that would clue you in on sex, sometimes its backwards. And its nice to know if your talking to a lady. Everyone talks to men and women different for a reason.

Avatars are even worse for guessing sex, guys with female type user names and avatars and the reverse for women make it real hard to guess.


Id also like to know if IM talking to kids under 18 in some of the threads we have here to limit my liability? kinda kiddin but not.

This has to be the only site I ever been to that didn’t already show atleast persons sex, ages over 18 are often able to be hidden.

Those are some excellent points. Especially with the kiddies. I don't want to think someone is an idiot, only to find out they are a 12-year-old that just doesn't know any better.

Thats probably a big part of it. And people get treated differently because of their age as well. Anyone who chooses can have their age shown in their profile (I think) but I don't believe too many do.

It comes down to this: evaluate a member on their posts. If they know nothing, they know nothing. If they're knowledgeable, they're knowledgeable. But seeing their age or gender displayed never changes what they've said, and for the most part should have no bearing on what you say to them.

Always assume that children will be reading whats on the site. They could be members, kids looking over daddy's shoulder, or just some visitor.

It's not Facebook... And the rules seem to kind of eliminate the need to know- regardless of age/sex it needs to be appropriate

I'm not sure its necessary. And the lack of that information leads everybody to treat everybody about the same around here...which is a goal of ours.
