Use Gender neutral pronouns for game text
for example, "Player has been inactive for X seconds, THEY will be kicked if..."
I'm a girl playing and it's a bit annoying seeing just male pronouns on here.
Released.

Can it use the name of players? Instead of player A... write Gaff...

Yes this can be annoying. For any guy not understanding this problem: try reading a book written by a woman for woman with a female main character from first person perspective.
Try reading chapter one of Grimspace by Ann Aguire.
Reading line after line of pronouns that are directed at you but specify the wrong gender gives you cognitive dissonance when reading. -

Oh I get what you are saying now. Well the only problem there is no english word for both sexes and the game could use he/she
