Remove "country of origin" flags from profiles.

We've got lots of people impersonating under questionable nationalities cheer-leading for other nationalities using false IDs.

As such I think country location should be sufficient enough.

Just ignore those people

And location should be automatic based on IP. Let them prove their country of origin from their posts.

Why? If we have to move abroad because of our professional or commercial reasons that means we dont belong to our home country?

It is a cloak and dagger business. This is a useful tool. The Admins know everything.

And IP cannot be faked?

I didn't claim that at all.

How would you know then if a person is a Pakistani or Indian or Irani or American or Saudi etc.

That's not the point. If they are not what they're pretending to be, removing one other flag reduces the burdon or finding out. We've got enough trolls hiding behind different flags and claiming to be something else.

Location flag is good enough- based on IP. Why do trolls get to choose false flags? There is no need for it.

Admin know user IP details. If someone wants to fly a particular flag of their origin, why not. The only thing I am against is false flag, those can be easily identified and dealt with.

In Pakistan if you want to be safe and free you have to use a fake ip

That's the whole point of this thread. Country of location should be automatically displayed. Country of origin does not need to be here. Too many trolls hiding behind false flags.

Removing the country of origin flag just reduces this problem.
