If whenever I see the name of a priest in LFG, I automatically say "invite her", or if I see a warrior or a rogue: "invite him".

It comes out by accident, mostly because there aren't a ton of guy priests and almost NO girl rogues, but still, meh.

Generally, I call people by whatever gender their character is. It's easier that way.

I don't take offense to being referred to as "he" or "him" the first couple times but sometimes I'll go ahead and correct someone about my gender. It's no big thing though.

Q u o t e:
you guys are stupid

MOST people who play wow are MALE

less then 5% are female.


so when you see a priest you would be making a 'more accurate' guess by saying HE




85.3274211% of all statistics are made up on the spot. (Like this one.) It is definitely more than 5% of the population however, but let's not quibble shall we?

go figure Nethaera is a girl .

abusing her authority in forums FTW

who cares what you want people to talk about, we can post what we want to talk about, i wasnt doing anything wrong by making a post here about something i was curious about

but YOU didnt like it so you locked it

baddie.


For one, it's not unknown that I am female.

For another, the idea of consolidating conversation to one post is to keep all dialogue flowing within the post rather than spread out among many. My personal feeling on the topic does not come into play on this, however, discussion that could be harassing or defamatory toward any particular group is within the realm of needing moderation no matter what group that may be.

If you wish to submit feedback on moderation, you can email to wowcmfeedback@blizzard.com. Otherwise, this isn't the venue to do so and references to drugs are also not permitted on these forums.
