Title: What is it with people selecting wrong/joke locations in the member map?
Post by: Kaltsu on June 23, 2008, 05:50:54 pm
I don't personally understand this. In my opinion it would be nice to see where the members of Argonath RPG really live.
And also, many people set their pin to a completely wrong place, mostly because some don't realize that it is actually possible to zoom in the map or then they just don't know the geography of their own country...

I totally agree.
And I also think that people should feel proud about their countries, and if they do, they aren't showing it.

Calm down Kaltsu. :gand:

I have put my real location but I don't think it really matters if people put a false one or maybe they don't want you to know where they live, so they put a funny one.

If people don't want others to know where they live, I would advise them not to set any location at all then.

At least you know who is serious and who is not...

But I still would prefer to post real or not post at all.

I don't particularly like my country to be honest :devroll: but I have 3 nationalities so no worries.

To set a 'funny' location is ok, but those who used offensive city names better change it quickly... :war:

Alright, but the member map is not only about your nationality. It's about the location where you live permanently or at least most of the time.

To bad it can't just trace your IP to a country and automatically stick in that flag. :D

Then you just have option to show or not show. :D

It would be nice if people did real country they live but tbh I don't really care as much about it. Plus some people preffer to put country of nationality, I don't see anything wrong with that either.

I've always had my pin where I'm from, but I'd prefer to have the flag of my country on display rather then the flag of the union my country is in.

If you look at member map my location is same always, my flag is my nationality ;)

I am from Holland, but set pin to Moscow (Russia), cos I know Russian and I am half-russian, and Russia has more bigger territory so that your pin will not be lost...  :redface:

But I would also like people to set their pin locations more correct...
If you do not want to show your own country - then just do not set pin or set a pin of country which you like...

All those Arcticas, Antarcticas, Oceans locations are stupid, sorry...

Especially those, who put pin and name the location as a very different country... Seems like this guys have no idea where is their country... And it can be even true...
