Country flag next to username?

30 replies

Is there any chance we can have an option of a Country flag next to our username? I'm thinking that this might help some of the conflicts to do with different rules (Covid, education, law etc) particularly in the UK (England, Wales, Scotland Northern Ireland), so people stop assuming UK = England.
So obviously it wouldn't be a UK Flag, but would be a devolved nations flag.
OR
you could have UK AND the devolved nations flag?

Could it be that when you hover over the username that the location is shown?
Then people who are aware that not everyone lives in England could check if it’s relevant to their reply, whilst there isn't the clutter or issues over location vs self-identification already mentioned.

Do you know what - I just find it very sad, in this day and age, that we judge so much on where a person lives. I also find it very sad that as the UK, we can't find some common ground between our devolved nations - everything is just so politicalised and I'm sick fed up of it!

Totally not the point of the thread, but I 100% agree with you Grin

Actually, yeah come to think of it, some people are biased or xenophobic against particular countries so maybe not..

Half of the thread would be taken up be posters asking which country some of the flags represent Grin
