Since when did it become 'ranting' to address each point of debate and try to make rational counter-arguments?
Sorry if I used an inexact verb.
Viewers of that map are third parties: They're not chess.com, and they're not me.
an argument can be raised that the viewers of the map are chess.com.
Not a successful one.
We'd better make it most of it; it can't last.
No doubt little things like the recent updates breaking a few of the site facilities has distracted them.
That is the way de facto standards work.
Which doesn't make it any less lamentable.
For the record, I'm fairly perturbed by the similarity of the 'she shares information, so she shouldn't mind sharing information when she hasn't consented to doing so (and has actually complained)' argument to the various treads of the 'she was asking for it' defense...
(EDIT; which isn't to say it's morally equivalent, and my apologies if it's come across as such).
We want to know who is #1, Erik.

Thanks. I also found that argument scary and sad. artfizz's silly points that I share plenty of personal information on other sites and so have no right to not have my actual location disclosed is bizarre.
And I even had Rabat, Morocco listed on this site before Erik said that removing location entirely will keep you from showing up on the map. Doesn't mean I was in Rabat - not that it's any of your business what I wish to list.
been absent. what's the issue here?
The issue is that users can still see the ISP location of users, who don't want to reveal their location (even when they leave that section blank).
Actually I think a more important "issue" from the community side is that there are people in here who defend this privacy violation with all their heart.
cudda?
Now they've merged facebook members. Nice. Are they also going to be shown on this interactive map?

we've setup a video camera outside the home of every one of the users and will broadcast 24/7 unless we receive a handwritten note that says "NO" within the next 45 seconds....
Wow and I didnt get time to straighten my hat before going live lol
I see my arguments were not addressesed (because they're winning arguments).
You all can argue that Meebo is not annoying, and disregard what I say.
Erik...while you don't seem to think it's a big deal that people have our real names and that some of us are in areas that make it very easy to access us if members are made aware that we are in their vicinity, it is a REAL concern. I'm feeling a bit silly for having renewed membership at this point when I thought it was an issue that had been addressed before I did so.
Perhaps you don't consider that culturally in some areas, guys make a habit of stalking or harassing females they can get some kind of phone or address access to. It's so annoying having to explain this.

can you message me a screenshot of you on the map so i can debug this?
i do take it seriously. i just don't know what is wrong since i can't see it.

As stated before, a pin on the map if someone wants to stalk you is the least of your bloody worries. For 4.95 I can obtain your pubic records tracking your life and family since you came on the grid paying phone and electric bills. I can get that from your name and your city of residence which is on your profile presently. Easy to obtain and with a pay card untraceable who got your information to remain anonymous and never had to look at a GeoMap. Good practice at anonymity on the net goes for all websites. Are you sure you weren't born in 1979? Not 1981?
So you annoyance at explaining is only outshined by your obtuse understanding of the greater picture and levity of your present security presence on this site.

Oh dear god...I'm tired of explaining at how the REVERSE method can be used...finding people by location and identifying who they are is a completely different condition than identifying someone and deciding to pursue them. Oh obtuse one.
