- I wasn't sure exactly where I should go with ideas for IRC, but this
- seemed as good a place as any to start. So, here's my proposal.
-
- Does anyone like the idea of a 'gender flag' to show up in the 'S' part
- of a /who listing? For example:
-
- /gender female
- and
- /gender male
- would produce 'F' or 'M' -->
-
- Channel Nickname S User@Host (Name)
- #example saltgirl H@F saltgirl@rever.NMSU.Edu (That one girl)
- #example demi H@F demi@moeng2.morgan.edu (Demi Greene)
- #example Thomas @*M jkf677@netcom.COM.edu (!id Thomas the Great)
-
-
- Of course, people would take extreme advantage of this, and pretend to
- be the opposite gender, etc, but it seems like a useful and fun
- feature regardless. Thoughts?
