Suggestion for website programmers

Okay, I know this is possible and I hope this site will make it so. Can you lock a room based on your profile so one doesn't "accidently" go into the wrong room? what example I wish to use is the posting by females in the guys room. I am sure there is some code in the persons profile (identifying ones self as male or female) which would open or unlock the guys room (likewise for ladies gone wild room). not only should you not be able to post in the room, but the room should not even be visible to the other sex. if the OP wants the other sex to see the post, the OP should post it in an appropriate room.

Don't wanna be mean about anything, but just trying to get the room to be used as it is intended. I feel that some men (myself included) would post more private men only questions but do not because of all the opposite sex traffic.

Well, it would be an improvement if a person could even TELL what room a post is from. From my phone, I can't while from my laptop and even kindle it is fairly noticable.

@@CowgirlJane Agreed, but icing on the cake would be no admittance.... like the veterans room would be unlocked on your first surgiversary.... ect....

I think this is a great idea. I don't know how many times I've clicked on a thread in the "Recent Topics or "Trending Topics" sidebars and then realized I was inadvertently reading a thread in the Guys Room. Most forum software allows for forum unlocking based on post count or rank, but I don't know about other criteria such as gender.

It's the phone app that seems to cause the most trouble. If I look at the timeline on the app it doesn't say men's room. If I'm looking at the site on desktop, I see it's the men's room. I may read but often I refrain from posting.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
