Get rid of the international flag

Sort:

It is wrong to have individual flags and then a ubiquitous flag "international" because the player who displays their national flag has no idea  where the other person is from.    Players should display their flag or let's get rid of all the flags.  I don't like that a player knows something about me, but I don't know anything about them.  Otherwise, I want an option to block all players who choose the "international" flag, because there is no such thing.

I like the idea of an international flag. First of all, it's honest. A lot of members choose flags at random probably for the sake of anonymity when they could simply choose the international flag.

Second, some kids were born on the UN podiums 😁. What flags are they supposed to choose?

Even when both players display a national flag, you have no idea where your opponent is from. Nothing stops a player from selecting whichever flag he chooses, regardless of where he lives.

Instead of Canada, I could have selected Finland, or India, or Andorra, or Best Korea...

But you could end up doing the flag change alone with nobody noticing. And it not something that people enjoy doing manual flag change.

It enables him to identify (however briefly) with every country in the world, in turn.

I recall that a few decades ago, before the fall of the Soviet Union, Moscow announced a new campaign: "The State vs Alcoholism".
