Optional removal of "<player> is from <country>"

[Marty_Deslions]

When somebody joins, you will see that player's nickname, and the country he/she may be from.

This country may not be correct all the time, like when someone uses VPN or something like that. What's the point in such a message then?
Also, if the country is correct, what does it matter? I don't think everybody would like to show the rest of the server where they're from, especially when they're regretful/shameful of their country.

I'm suggesting an option in Preferences to turn off this message when you join the server again. This way the player can choose for himself/herself if the country is shown to others.

I think this is ridiculous. Instead, when the same person logs in to another account, it may be more logical to automatically report this to insim admins, since they have the same IP address.

Yes we need to know where people from so we can say siema, labas, salam or Arhab

yes bolsonaro

Do people even read? I don't want to remove it, I want to give people the option of hiding it. It's their own choice. You could say that it's a privacy setting.

Marty.. What? Since when people are feeling ashamed of their country? Thats must be a new thing?
(For example) I am a bulgarian (a patriot) and YES, Im ashamed, because of the corrupted politics, system and administration in my country. BUT that is other thing. As you know the democracy elections are a made up thing. I can only be proud of my country history.
And I'm sure that can be applied to anyone around the globe.

This a new 2023 thing? Never been an issue to anyone before and why should it now?

Marty wants the server his way or it's the highway.

Next idea?

Well for instance if you live in Russia, but you don't agree with what your country is doing in Ukraine, you might not want to be related to that when you're just trying to just enjoy a game.

Personally, I don't really like being dutch, so I would appreciate it if it would not be shown.

Eew dutch... No problem, I still love you!

[Kriss]

I support this idea.

I find it nice to be able to turn off these kind of things, although it should be on by default.

What's up with you and your brilliant suggestions marty? The server has a strong anti-racism policy so if anyone picks on a player for being from a certain country he will get punished

Marty picked on himself for being Dutch. Self-report auto ban.

Besides, now everyone knows where you're from Marty, hiding this isn't going to change the fact that we all know you are from NL. plus, your excellent ping is a dead giveaway hhhhhh

first sorry for this massiv ebump. with that said. in the beginning TC had city and country names shown. i was one who advocated for the removal of city as there has been incidents where people from LFS seeked out other people to beat them up in real life. back then it was agreed that country could be shown but for peoples privacy and safety, city names are NOT shown.

i just think that info needs to be in this thread even its more than a year ago someone wrote here.

again sorry for this bump. but felt it should be here.

this already happens with people having more than one account. so if you get banned on one account they will ban both or more because sharing same IP.
