Although one could argue that revealing genders makes others easier targets for said people, one would assume that the fact that they know what this event is about, and the fact that they are participating of their own free will means that they are prepared for that sort of situation, while the gender-identification eliminates the other, giving them less awkwardness to deal with. Even if the servers have no preference, it can still get awkward in a myriad of ways.
No Preference Within Reason, one could say.
Okay, but it wouldn't be an issue at all if they didn't reveal the RL gender of the participants. Â Seriously, I don't know if you understand exactly how creepy and OOC and just...oh my god, that is so fucking creepy. Â >.<
Revealing RL gender is the first step towards people "expecting things" from you in an OOC capacity. Â Either this is an RP event, or it's not. Â If it's not an RP event, it should not be advertised on an RP forum. Â If it is an RP event, OOC genders of participants should never have been revealed.
