Can't we remove the Gender Icon option from the forum?
Without that little pink logo, it'd be slightly more difficult for impostors to get attention. They'd post more, giving away more infos (then increasing the chances of exposing themselves). That way only a very dedicated and "skilled" attention junkie would make it...
And real girls wouldn't get "assaulted" that much... so it'd work if only for that reason.
Just an idea...

How about us lonely guys take the gender sign with a grain of salt?
I don't see how two events should force the boards to change policies. If we just slow down and think for a moment before trying to flirt with a symbol, I think we will be okay.

People wouldn't impersonate girls if people didn't drool all over them and give them all sorts of attention. But since people do, stuff like this is gonna happen.
That doesn't mean people shouldn't be nice and polite to the girls on here, since that obviously is not true either. It's just that from experience, I have seen that all a girl has to do is make a post "Hi I'm a girl" and it will be at 10 pages before you can say "Female Anatomy".

Makes me sad to be a straight guy sometimes.

I'm Dutch.
Why is there no gender option for me?! This is an outrage!

I wish one of the guys who pretends to be a girl would explain why he would go to all that trouble just to get a bunch of guys to hit on him....

I made an accusation? A snide comment perhaps.. but if it was an accusation I woulda just come out with it quite frankly. D'ah well.

I was once friends with this guy, he didn't do this particularly(go on forums and pretend to be a girl) but he made a Myspace to make particular fun at me and another friend and claim it was another person we all knew who did it. Obviously we believed him at first but inconsistances with his story of how he got it didn't make sense and we realized we'd been duped. It's a cheap thrill for some people. "Look at these people, I just tricked them. Wow, I'm so smart. Much smarter then you."

I used to pretend I was a girl in AOL chat rooms in high school, cause other "girls" were more likely to e-mail you good lesbian porn that way. But when they wanted to cyber, thats when they got blocked. Yeah screw you guys, like none of you did it either? Anyway, the photobucket thing....I can believe that maybe because I've hosted pics for friends before, but, identical IP addresses? Do tell..

Y'know, frankly I don't care what you want to come on here posting as, be it man, woman or bowl of oatmeal, as long as you're not doing it to start trouble. We've seen too much of that in the past.

As long as the oatmeal is still warm. That could feel nice. What? Why's everyone looking at me? I MEAN TO EAT, AS A HEARTY WARM BREAKFAST! WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!
