I'm female, however, I am just a quiet person on sites for the most part. I only speak up when something tickles my fancy or when something is said that I should probably speak up on.

I should probably be more vocal, but meh. :P

You're definitely quiet..you've only posted twice!

And I thought I was quiet..

If the offensor takes up a posture of "that's not my problem you deal with it", then they're intending to offend, and are continuing to do so. If it's "that wasn't what I was implying", then it is a misunderstanding that needs to be resolved by both parties.

Underlined - the community is certainly thriving well enough without the people who don't want to register, and of course, as I stated in my previous post, I would hope that the moderators deal with issues fairly and reasonably.

I can't speak for people who've come and gone in the past, or how the forum was moderated in the past, but I do not believe that taking the wider view that I do is 'bending over and taking certain types of comments'. I don't think I pass off a bad image of a female gamer, and I have never attracted any inappropriate behaviour from other members.

neither have I but it happens and i can assure you that the females that had those issues werent "asking for it"

Well, I can only take your word for it, since dredging up historical examples would be somewhat insensitive.

But I reiterate, the culture on this forum is a symptom of what the gaming industry is geared towards. It can be managed to be more female friendly, but it can never truly change, unless the industry itself changes. That doesn't mean it's right, it's just how it is.

I knew that and was prepared to accept that before I registered. That doesn't mean that I'm prepared to roll over and take abuse, far from it. But to be honest, there's far more interesting, intelligent and entertaining stuff going on here that's actually to do with games and gaming, for me to be bothered about one or two idiots who seem only to have one thing on their mind. And if anything does bother me, I have faith in the current mod team that they'll deal with it fairly and appropriately.

If guys on the internet were that adorable I doubt any of them would have trouble with women.

Let's not forget that guys would look weird if they would stick out their tounges like that!

Some girls are so cute men can't control their tounges and it just flops out. Its science. Though that smile the dog does at the end is a wee bit creepy ..
