How to...?

[M's girl]

I guess this one is for the moderators in the first place....

First of all, I think LIT is great and has many nice features, but there's a few things I would like to suggest and ask.

I know I can always look at someone's public profile but a few times already I have been answering questions and halfway thought "hey, wait a minute, are you a man or woman anyway... and how old are you and are you in a relationship...?" The answer to a question may be very different if that basic information differs. So maybe this has been explored already but I would like to see this info somewhere next to "location" or so.

Also, there are some technical issues I sometimes wonder about and I know if I do a search I will eventually find something in a thread somewhere. But wouldn't it be nice it there would be something like a How To forum dedicated to LIT technical and wishlist kinda questions (like this is)?

That way LIT owners/moderators could see the reactions to proposals and use that (and who knows even good ideas to implement them) to make decisions. And LIT users can find and post their questions there.

m's girl:

i too have sometimes thought that it might be helpful to know more readily if a person is male or female (or transgendered) from their profile, but hey, it's fun having to guess. :>

Guessing is nice...? Hmmm let's see ... [checking silverwhisper's profile anyway]... I guess I should know what RPG's means but I don't. Have no clue.

Hey! belated happy birthday, by the way!

 

[silverwhisper]

why thank you! it was quite nice. and naughty!

ed

p.s.: RPGs = role playing games. e.g., dungeons & dragons, etc. :>

Why.... no thanks! and I was being naughty because......? (I mean.... I know I am, just ask M, but is checking someone's profile naughty...? Haha)

Anyway... Role Playing Games. That's it. Should have known that I guess but am not too much into them myself, so.... Dungeons & Dragons.... does that still exist? Isn't that like.... 30 years old already?!

 

[silverwhisper]

not only is it around, but it is in fact celebrating its 31st year. i've been playing some form of RPG, either D&D or something else, since 1978 i think it was. the only other site i frequent in fact is dedicated to them.

I understand the desire for more information, but I also understand the freedom that anonymity plays in obtaining a more "real" response from people.

If information is needed to answer a question (marital status, gender, age, worldly experience, inside leg measurement, etc.) then feel free to ask for that info before you answer the question.

My profile is lacking in information because that is the way I want it to be, how can I be "significantly different", if I do what everyone else does?

Hmmm yeah... true... but my idea was you can still choose to have the info or not, just like in your profile. It's true that for some questions to be answered more objectively it might be better of you knew little, but most of the time it is my opnion, or at least I feel like it's better if you do know somewhat more... for starters at least if a man or woman is asking the question, which is not always obvious...

What do you think about a special section/forum for technical questions about (the use of) LIT?

The HT board has served this purpose for as long as I've been a member. I don't see any reason to create a separate board for what is, essentially, another type of "how to" question.

You could change your profile from: -

"Biography:
I'm 19 years old, livin in Sarnia Canada. What can I say. I'm just a little Ravin, and the world is my nest!"

To say something staggering like: -

"Biography:
I'm 19 years old male, livin in Sarnia Canada. What can I say. I'm just a little Ravin, and the world is my nest!"

I've always assumed that if a Litser had an obviously male or female name, (s)he wanted people to know and an ambiguous name meant things would be more or less mysterious. Now, if I could just stop picturing people looking like their avs.

M's girl I usually look at the AV picture. A lot of times if it's a female poster she'll either have a really hot sexy pic of a female model or something like that or it will be a pic of herself.

OK, so when I look at your AV picture I should be able to figure out you are a...... euhm....

I think I also came across someone who did have this 'hot picture of a female' so I assumed she was, until I read the profile.... hmmmm.

Anyway, if people don't want to disclose their gender (gender? sex? oh well, you know what I mean) that is fine. I would not mind myself but then again you should be able to tell what I am reading my name....

 

[MagicFingers]

Like mine?

I'm a man. Always have been. Always will be.
Not gay, not Bi, nor a woman, nor preverted, just a guy.
Those ARE my hands though!

No... not like yours....
I can see from the pic those are male hands.
Can't even remember who it was.

While I agree that the information would be useful...if only from a curiosity stand point...I think anyone that wants us to know is quite capable of putting that in their profile or their name...so my assumption is that if they don't, they don't want it to be public...at most, offered on a selective basis.

The age thing is already there with the birthday...but most people prefer not to put the year. Some people clearly note they're married or in a relationship...but I agree with you...it often throws me for a loop when someone has a gender ambiguous name and their AV is of a woman...and the poster is a man. Catches me everytime.

It still doesn't mean that people are going to LOOK (or pay attention).

I still occasionally get random PMs from guy newbies thinking that I'm a chick too...

Well, there you go.... that's why.... So what do you think about this idea then? Would you like to see more info in the header of someone's reply in threads?

Hey M's Girl, Speaking of PMs...I've wanted to PM you, and you don't have that or email enabled! I promise I won't harass you with requests for naked pics or cybersex.

Don't believe a word she says.

Hi,

That's right... but I will PM you with my e-mail address and then close PM again, is that OK?
