You could just hide your flag, or write a script to hide all flags.

there's people using VPNs here

Just add tor flag

>>33389
I don't know who you are but lower case posting is low quality posting so I'm not convinced this is a "good enough reason"

>>33386
>Is there any good reason to not include country flags in /leftypol/?

Same applies for the vice versa, WHY should one use a country flag instead of saying >'as a Mexican'

>>33386
it would effectively de-anonymize everyone outside the USA and maybe the UK and one or two other countries. how many posters do you think we have from New Zealand?
>but they could hide the flag
and if they forget? or if they don't want to - but wouldn't go to the effort of tripcode/tripflag use if it wasn't default?

the only possibly-funny use i could imagine would be a non default country flag option, so if someone is chatting shit in the britpol thread (for example) you could challenge them to show their flag to "prove" they're actually from the country they're talking about.

>Just add tor flag
it would misrepresent Tor

>>33386
because nations are a spook

>>33387
this
>>33390
also this, it's a false sense of identity.
also, Tor is not a VPN, kiddo. VPN idenitification would probably be unreliable anyway.

Agreed. There are many countries with a single user, and having them deanonymized by default is against the mode of this site.
