I wanted to know if the country flag that you select on your about could also be shown when you make a forum post, under your username where the rank sign is. This doesn't really have a point, but I just thought it might lessen the curiosity. I know there are lots of cons to this, but just throwing an idea out there...

I told you, it really doesn't do anything but after all, it's just a suggestion...

Still, it'd be kinda cool, yeah...

I like it, though it wouldn't do much, it's kinda cool to take your flag everywhere..

Was the country flag idea not needed in the first place? No, but it was still added. Sometimes, you gotta look for ideas that don't benefit the website, but instead give nice touches. This idea is basically moving the flag over to every post, correct? Well, with users having giant abouts filled with useless maps and such, it would be better if it WAS moved to the forums; When someone either posts or views, the flag will be RIGHT THERE, next to the armatar and rank, instead of being hidden by font.

Thanks for the point Shintetsu.
Actually, I've never even seen the flag idea get suggested...

Unless you don't have a flag selected.

That's because it took months for it to finally get added XD
I don't know the guy that suggested it, but he was so proud that it finally worked lol

Not bad idea, imo.
Just silly with people who select flags from countries they don't live in, just because they like the flags...

Well, you don't have to believe it, right?

Well, isn't that basically what happens to anything?

It will add a better touch to the forums.


Thanks!

It should be on your profile and next to your forum posts. It shouldn't be that hard to code because the flags are already all there.

Well, this one took months LONGER than the rest lol. This idea was back in April or so, when it was first suggested.

Silly to see users choosing countries that they don't live in, just because they like the flags


Well, they are kids, right? Some of us however, are very patriotic about the Land of the Rising Sun.

But I think the flag should also stay in your profile.


Well, of course we aren't going to permanently move it from the About Page to the forums! People would do like you predicted and spam where you were from again.

Well, let's see the pros and cons:

Pros:
Lessens curiosity
Easy for people to find someone's nationality
Easy to code

Cons:
Isn't really needed.
People might abuse this privilege.

Got any more pros and cons to add?

Rather something to take out. How will people abuse a flag?? Really.

Here's two pros for me. It makes the thread views more creative and interesting, and it will eliminate some confusion while talking about politics. I've seen it happen before where one person would talk about their own prime minister, and other people have no idea what he/she is saying.

Ya know, confuse people by putting flags that are not where they are from maybe just because they look cool and stuff and yeah.

Yeah, this would go well in the worlds event page.
And people could have different views on different stuff and with their nationality people could understand.

Copy my chart and add those stuff onto it. I'm too lazy to. Lol.
