Title: Posibility to Update Countys ( Country flags ) on database.
Post by: Cofiliano on September 30, 2009, 04:03:49 am
Pretty simple, as you can see the country flag over my avatar picture is this :


(http://www.manyflags.com/images/International/yugoslavia.gif)

Wich is a flag of Jugoslavia or Serbia and Montenegro( modern name ), country that Serbia was apart, and is NOT, since 2003. Anyway, since i see Croatian, Bosnian, Slovenian, Macedonian flag, it woud be MORE then sweet to update the two flags(separated ) of Serbia , and of Montengro.
Its not only a tehnical issue, since for alot of Serbs (exept cDa, who is Yugo-nostalgic :D ), that flag is a simbol of all unjustice, all teror, and many other things, Serbian people received in the pass.

so remove it, and put this :D :

Agreed. The system needs a refresh. I suggest just adding more flags to the system and change the prefixes. That way users can fix their flag and use the correct one, while still keeping the originals there for those who use them.

http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=417 (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=417)

Now compatible with SMF 1.1.10 and also contains previously mentioned flags.
It would be good if you can update it... :)

We are using a different mod that is connected to the member map, and is not updated.
Stop dividing your countries and get back your old flags... :D

Please make a refresh or update of the flag system, for the sake of all of us, who has suffered under the flag of Yugoslavia.
Its like giving the Jew people the flag of Nazi Germany...

I think it's a mod compatibility issue. If anyone who has PHP experience can get in contact with Gandalf, maybe something can be done to customize the mod to include the new flags.

Drop the argument and keep on topic. The fight over Kosovo having a flag on this forum will not continue here. There is another topic for that, which was locked to prevent any more attacking of users, and was not denied nor accepted. Don't bring it here just as an excuse to continue fighting.

I just came across this and I can't decide whether I should facepalm or laugh.

If Kosovo has already achieved internationally-recognized independence, why should we begrudge them having a display flag? I definitely do not see Russian Federation citizens b*tching all over the forum about other former Soviet states having their own flags because they used to be parts of the same USSR which their fathers and grandfathers were born in.

I think I will repeat myself again:

North Korea's flag is there, but it's claimed by South Korea. The same can be said for the opposite.

Cyprus is not recognized by Turkey or North Cyprus. Flag is there.

Israel is not recognized by 32 states. It's flag is there.

Taiwans flag is there where only 31 states recognize it.

There are tons of states that have limited recognition but their flags are still there.

We own South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, they have their own flag.
We own Gibraltar, they have their own flag.
We own Anguilla, they have their own flag.
We own Bermuda, they have their own flag.
We own the Cayman Islands, they have their own flag.

It's just a flag.

Kosovo is recognized by 89 states, that's more than Taiwan.

I don't see the issue with adding Kosovo.

Post by: SugarD on May 15, 2012, 07:10:13 pm
Agreed. If some users prefer to represent themselves separately from the parent country, let them. It's just a flag after all. No offense is being meant towards the parent country in using it, just as those from the parent country don't mean any offense by keeping the use of their own flag despite Kosovo's situation. It's representation, nothing more. In reality, these imaginary lines mean nothing as we are all from the same place...planet Earth.

A flag on a forum account means nothing at all, if you want your Forum Account to say the country you are from, there is a space in your profile which is called "Location".
A flag is a picture, a symbol of a country, for it to be needed on a forum is rather pointless.
If you so badly want your countries flag displayed on your profile, set it as your Forum Signature or Avatar.

There are no problems with that script, so why should it be removed? The topic is in regards to countries flags on a forum, not In-Game;
Please stop involving yourself in every topic within this forum and insisting on taking it off-topic like you have just done.

Please stop involving yourself in every topic within this forum and insisting on taking it off-topic like you have just done.
You missed the whole point of my post. Instead of trying to pick fights, please re-read my reply. I said it because he said we should basically just sweep the problem under the rug by removing the flags altogether. My comment was to show how useless that would be towards solving the problem.

Sad how some people would rather ignore the problem than solve it.

It is best to keep the flags, as they show more how globally expanded our community is.

A great solution would be to allow people to upload any flag they want as long s its the small dimensions required. Then we would have no mroe "add this flag" threads and people can be happy.

Uploading the flag yourself and writing what it would show when your mouse is over the flag, good idea.

It'd be nice if it required approval before / after updating the flag, so as to avoid people who'd spam the flag with mini-trollfaces and write the flag's country as "Goatfuckistan".

If someone does something stupid then report them for it, no point wasting someone time having to review every uploaded flag. Treat it the same way avatars are treated. If one is bad then report that user.

In all honesty, I prefer updating the flag database to include any lacking countries rather than upload-your-own-flag.

Flags are symbols of countries, of how many countries we reach across the globe. They are not things you simply treat same as avatars and signatures.

Let's see...I'm a Server Manager. I'm a veteran of the community who has seen this happen a lot. I'm a user who believes in the Argonath Vision which states players and admins are all equal. I see a user turning a now-peaceful topic into a war. I feel it's better to give a verbal warning before the storm of forum admins shows up to punish someone who just had a small disagreement so you can avoid getting in trouble...and yet you are getting angry anyway, attacking me now for trying to help you.

I suggest that you walk away for a few moments and get some air before replying. We don't need flaming here. Please get back on topic when you return so we can solve this problem presented by the original poster peacefully.

Yeah well, unfortunately some people don't agree with how the world works and enjoy starting BS arguments regarding what deserves a flag and what does not. Its just best to give people the freedom to add what they want instead of having to debate every single flag.

I had to find a php array of countries and most of them still had Serbia and Montenegro! Some (http://www.dzone.com/snippets/array-countries-english) didn't even have Serbia at all.

Flags are the symbols of countries, homelands, and such. They are most certainly not things you randomly upload, like an avatar or signature. To make it as such would be to strip the "proper" flags of their essence of serving as a recognition for the homelands of the people involved.

Hey, if you want to sit around and watch people argue over what is and what inst a country then go right ahead, but i like many people dont enjoy listening to bullshit over something as simple as a 16X16 image

Why can't everybody just be friends? Just because 1 or 2 countries changed their flag, doesn't mean we'll have to refresh the whole system. Let's wait for a while and then consider it.

In that case, North Korea isn't, South Korea isn't, Hong Kong isn't, Israel isn't, Taiwan isn't, Cyprus isn't, North Cyprus isn't, Palestine isn't, Armenia isn't and some others (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_states_with_limited_recognition)

Oh and also:

I think I will repeat myself again:

North Korea's flag is there, but it's claimed by South Korea. The same can be said for the opposite.

Cyprus is not recognized by Turkey or North Cyprus. Flag is there.

Israel is not recognized by 32 states. It's flag is there.

Taiwans flag is there where only 31 states recognize it.

There are tons of states that have limited recognition but their flags are still there.

We own South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, they have their own flag.
We own Gibraltar, they have their own flag.
We own Anguilla, they have their own flag.
We own Bermuda, they have their own flag.
We own the Cayman Islands, they have their own flag.

It's just a flag.

Kosovo is recognized by 89 states, that's more than Taiwan.

I don't see the issue with adding Kosovo.

Sorry, I made a typo, it's pretty obvious what I meant, though I'm not sure why I included it in that list.

While Hong Kong is part of China, after British rule it retained a lot of it's own features, it's own currency, passports, government, it's totally different from China.

I'm pretty sure that score is given in recognition of the effort Roske expended in typing that post rather than the post itself. :roll:

Personally, I support the addition of flags for both recognized and declared (recognized by at least one other state, but still disputed in the international community) states.

However, just do not add flags as uploadable content on the part of users, as you are reducing the value of country flags to something such as an avatar and signature rather than a symbol of one's homeland.

Of course, you have nothing to do with these issues and you have no feelings towards them.

This topic was originally made to get the new Serbian flag on the forum.
It is a country with no doubts from anyone, so why it still isn't added is not understandable for me.

Norway used to belong to Sweden, not long ago, and we now wish to reclaim it due to the Oil found in and around Norway, as such we request you remove the Norwegian flag from the forums so that the world will no longer recognize Norway as a country, but a state of Sweden.

Thank you.
