Alright. So how about in the forums or something under the armatar you have a little miniature flag of your nationality. So if you're american an american flag, canadian a canadian one, german a germany one, etc. Not much use but seems alot of people don't know who is what. For example the Canada thread some people were like "WHAT YOUR CANADIAN 'so and so' ?!?" and was interesting. I think it would be nice!
I don't know about you but I can usually tell the difference between a crown and a flag! But that's just me! :P An AG map would be epic, but you'd need to know their town too and put like a little pin then... I expect unless the map is huge then the map will be completely covered with members! XD
If you feel that you'd be treated differently, then you would (most likely) have the option to NOT display your nationality. This is essentially the same thing as the "location" part of the profile; if people choose to fill it in, so be it, but no one is forcing them.
Regarding, "Why would anyone want to know?", I think one instance where it would come in handy is the Debate Forum. Instead of ASKING where someone is from, you can see where they are from (again, if they choose to display that information). Other than that, pure curiosity.
I think it will just cause discrimination. I mean, why do you want to know what nationality someone is anyway?
We never force people to give out personal information on this site, in their profile or otherwise. If people do not want to list their nationality, then they don't have to. It is a free choice type of thing.
Although it would be interesting if you were to find someone of the same race, that is if there isn't to many of you...
But I do think that in some cases it will cause some sort of discrimination. Sure you don't have to put your nationality, but its not like you know nothing will happen.
It isn't about race. Think of America. Just putting an American flag on your wall doesn't mean that you are white. If we have certain members that start to discriminate, then that would be taken care of. It isn't something we would take lightly. I just don't think that it would cause that happen.
It's always nice to know that you aren't the only person from lets say Australia or England or somewhere on the site and it could create some nice bonds on the site. Or get newer members feel more at home seeing someone from their country. And if I wanted to discriminate you because you were an Aussie then I wouldn't wait for you to get a flag, I would just check your profile.
