But Moros ... it doesn't tell you were you are from, it says where you are. A big difference.

I think some people would just like the choice to show it or hide it, that option would please both those who want it and those who don't surely?

Ska, you just ignored my other arguments. I don't understand what the big deal is with making the country you're located in public.

I wasn't arguing with you Moros, I just pointed out that that bit was wrong.

Then I said that giving people choice would solve this issue well for everyone. :)

Anyway, I think that fizzer should add option to hide/change the flag (and it shouldn't be too hard). However, many people wanted this feature. :)

There is no way this is illegal. I personally like it myself. Why do people care if everyone knows what country you are in anyway?

well it might be that members of some countries become a target of racists. you can blacklist r Report them. maybe soe aren't happy to live i that Country.

Chris, for all the Americans using the site, it goes further and shows the state. What next? The county? City? Perhaps the address of my house?

I can completely understand the outrage.

There was a player, PapiFranzibazuka, who deactivated his WarLight account just because of this very feature, sure in most countries you would disappear in anonymity but he lives in a very small country, just 44 hectares big.

StoneCold... except no player exists with a name anywhere close to what you posted...

I'm also disagree on show the flag. they put me the spanish flag because because i'm playing from there but shit, i'm not spanish!

This thread is ridiculous! Fizzer owns the site and we are guests. So the whole thing depends on domiciliary rights. Fizzer makes a decision and you can agree due to the standard form contracts or not, which means you are free to leave. simply do or die!

If you live somewhere with a over a million people, like most countries are, then you're fine. It's only people from microstates that should be concerned.

Concerned about what?!?
The flag of the country you are in?
The fact that it shows on your profile?
What are you, toddlers? ( If by any chance you are, then keep on posting, I understand you have no grip on reality :D )

Go waste your life with something worth wasting.

Incaman, that is rude. You should respect others for their privacy needs, every country is different. Have you heard of the NSA in the United States? Probably a lot different than Macedonian government spying

Just you know ... to show you that other toddlers who achieved quite a bit more than you share concerns on personal information being shared without consent.

And that's just two I picked out.

Hahahaha, the debates here are quite interesting :D

The privacy, terror and violation of human rights is FAR WORSE in Macedonia, than you could ever imagine it could be in USA trust me.

Anyway, I'm all for conserving privacy on the net and everywhere, don't get me wrong, but I don't consider the flag of my country a violation of that privacy. This is a free and private site it chooses the information it will display, if you have a problem with that don't join the site. Every application you ever installed on your mobile and PC (or whatever you are using) is collecting your information and some even sharing it. Your very governments are spying on you without consent. The fucking (excuse my language but this is the only adjective i will ever use for global corporations ) corporations are spying on you without consent. So if you want to fight the sharing of personal information without consent this is not the place to do it.

;)

Then again I don't use my real name here ... so it's not quite the same.

what about guys like me who use their real names and pics? giving away my supposed country of origin is a direct threat to my privacy

Well if the invasion of privacy is far worse in your country then you of all people should understand that not everyone wants to be known. Imagine if for Macedonia, the creators showed which region you are in at that specific moment? That is what they do for the USA and I imagine it will spread to Canadian provinces next and etc

Pink you have such an ordinary face, people will forget you again.
I also used my real name, but i mixed it up so nobody notices.

whoever cares so much about privacy should be anonymizing their connection. look up tor and use it.

that being said: i would also like an option to hide my flag or correct my nationality when it's wrong.
