Re: Last time I checked, this was the "Man Room"

Since not everyone can respond to the topic where it stands...

I'm guessing that most responses in the man/woman rooms are without noticing that the post was in a restricted area.

I admit I am one who only reads the title of the posts and never the category it's located in. So, please forgive us if we accidentally respond to something in the wrong room. Just a kind reminder is needed and I'm it's easy to delete.

I respond to posts all the time without looking to see where it's posted. I am trying to get better about that but when I joined this forum, the area on the right where the most recent posts are shown, wasn't there. Old habits are hard to break.

Ditto. I NEVER look at the room. I've wandered into some pretty "exciting" discussions not realizing it was between the guys. Between my app and the website design I never notice what forum anything is in unless I purposefully click on that forum.

It has happened to me too!

I don't think I have posted in the mans room by accident or purposely but I could be wrong. I will say that I click into interesting sounding titles. I do not read the section its posted in. I actually can't read the font that small so wouldn't if I wanted to. I don't really think I should have to though.

This is the only forum I have ever been involved in where we are permitted to read a headline and click into it, read the subject and respond to it and then be " in trouble" for doing it. What gives? Seriously, it should either be opened to all or invisible to those that are not to participate. If that's coming later the rules really should be lifted off of it until its set up JMO.

Whatever!

I think I accidentally just liked a post in the Man's room... OOPSS..Oh well... I don't really pay attention to where something is posted... Usually if the title of the Thread Interests me I read it, if I like it, I hit the like button sometimes, if I have something I feel is meaningful to add I comment... If not I move along, sometimes I follow it if it is really interesting... Hmmm... I guess I will start paying more attention!

Just so it is recorded in the thread, I will remind all that it was a few women who complained about men posting in the powder Room that prompted the rule.

If the rule is to stand, then check the profile for the gender and enforce the rule. Surely that option is available and if not, this would be quite an easy programming fix.

Well crap!! I have probably done it myself!! I never look at which thread it is just the title. I will definitely try and do better!! If I have done this sorry sorry sorry!! :unsure:

Yup, yup, yup, I often just click on something from "recent topics" and sometimes don't notice what sub-forum it's in.

I used to just switch over to my "male" profile to answer.... Until I got busted that is! :P

JK :D

There are quite a few nongender posters that could get away with responding on both. Nothing states that we have to specify gender or post a profile pic.

Heh.. I'm pretty sure my comments would give me away though ;)

That's what got me :P

Oh again... I'm just kidding! Don't try this at home :D

But at the same time ignorance should not be counted as a reason to disregard the rules of the forum itself. Just my own personal opinion of course.

For the record, I think it is a useless rule and I hardly visit either of those forums anymore, they were alot mroe entertaining when "cross posting" was allowed.
