Gender Specific Sections

[RopedBud]

I'm not sure if someone has already mentioned this but I thought I'd bring it up just in case. I remember on the old forums that there was a separation of male and female based stories in the different sections of stories (adult only, for everyone, etc). Was this possible to do again or does gender tagging work for enough people that it doesn't seem worth the effort to sort out?

[mention]RopedBud[/mention] It's not a bad idea, but the gender-specific sections were never foul proof, even on the old board. If you remember, only about half the stories were being posted in the appropriate gender-specific sections. The rest were just posted in the "unspecified" general board and actually benefited of larger audiences, since fewer users seemed to navigate the gender-specific subsections.

Now that we have THREE separate gender-tagging options (Gender-tagged titles, gender-tagged story ads/catalogue entries and gender-tagged story tags) the use of the gender-specific sections might be a bit redundant.

Seprate gender sections within the existing forums would make for a very messy page.
In my opinion, as long as we keep on top of the gender tagging, it is a simpler situation that won't need any moving of stories that have been inappropriately posted.

Yea, we did it that way on the old site, but it was decided that having separate sub forums for each gender didn't make the stories stand out, which could've contributed to the decline in membership.

I encourage EVERYONE to use the new Tagging System, which will help users better decide on stories without hiding other stories from view.
