this should should be a big unmissable warning like this

Why would your country be considered personal information?

Playing from NK long-term would likely make you an interesting person :p People in UK or Russia currently might have concerns.

I don't think it should be a warning. You have to willingly provide the information and should be your own warning before doxxing yourself. Even without registration, your location is logged by numerous entities probably just browsing to the forums.

racism exist on the internet. some people form Africa would really appreciate a more noticeable warning

I understand the sentiment but if someone is being racist, the victim(?) might as well report him and he will be off.

information from osu can be used for harassment on any platform, some platforms have poor moderation,
some people are too famous for all their offenders to be banned, creating a new after being banned is too easy

"Hey guys, he was born in a different country! Let's mock him!"

Nobody is creating s off cooldown to harass someone for their flag in spite of being blocked, nor is anyone banding together to do such things. It honestly just sounds like you have a persecution complex.

Definitely it is
xD

btw, if you're so afraid of harassment, maybe you shouldn't create s at all?

I'm talking about people from Afrika, not russia

You care about Africans more than they care about themselves

I mentioned racism to prove that the fact that osu shares your country is very important, which means it should be a very noticeable warning for it. people should also read the , but that doesn't mean important information about creation shouldn't be displayed during creation

Just getting rid of that country flag probably won't change the situation much. That kind of thing isn't welcomed in osu!, and if someone is looking you up through osu!, they probably already know more about you than just the basic country info.

If someone really cares about keeping personal information, they're likely to read the agreement.
Ordinary s don't care whether the flag of their country will be displayed near the nickname

sorry, didn't quite get the message across.
I'm more curious about what happens if someone wants to play, but they're blocked by this impenetrable wall that provides information about their country? I'd understand if it was leaking some incredible personal data, but it's nothing special there.
So, what's the point of this warning if it doesn't affect anything, especially in the context of osu!, where country matters little (not always)?

But Africans!

racism exist, therefore the fact that osu shares your country is very important information
important information about creation should be displayed during creation
even if people read the (as far as I'm aware they don't, for example I care and I didn't)

How often have you encountered racism within osu?
Racism in osu is usually moderated and punished. The fact that you're warned that your country of residence will be published won't stop 99.9% of people, and those it does stop should probably see a psychologist, as they likely have some issues and are panicking unnecessarily.
Racism exists everywhere, some people just take it too hard or see a problem where there isn't one. Those who really care about their personal data and try to hide their information will look at the policy, otherwise nobody cares (it's unlikely someone will go to a profile, see their country in the profile, and hastily delete their just because they might encounter racism, which is extremely difficult to do in the context of osu).

easy to say for someone who (probably) never experienced racism (I didn't either, but africans do)

but I still haven't seen any confirmation of that (I'm not denying it's possible)
and I still haven't seen any particular reason for it.
It's like warning someone that they might face insults and humiliation just for being online.
Yes, that can happen too, but everyone who goes online and spends time there understands that, and reminding them again of their nationality is pointless.
Osu!, in principle, is almost never used in the context of countries; where you're from, whether you're rich or not, everyone generally doesn't care, and even if an inadequate person shows up, they can equate pretty much anything to racism, even the fact that you play Osu!, xd.

information from osu can be used for harassment on any platform, like non-osu racist can use osu to check someones country, which means africans have to isolate their osu fro, their other s

no it's not, it's warning people their country is guaranteed to be revealed, which is important info

I'm more interested in how someone would leave information about themselves without noticing the country flag. Or are you already talking about removing flag information in principle, since osu! is fundamentally confidential, and until you leave info about yourself, the only thing known about you is your country?

reverrie wrote: 6p4p43

no it's not, sharing the country of s with no opt-out is very uncommon, in fact I don't know any other thing on the internet that does this

Yeah, all racists have prejudices, which anyone can develop. So my example works just fine. (I recently had an incident where someone got offended by nothing and now can't say anything but insults).

I'm already too lazy to continue this conversation, you still haven't grasped a bunch of arguments, and you're still, for some reason, insisting on claiming this useful function, which will probably never be helpful in the context of osu.

my bad for

which country flag?

reverrie wrote: 6p4p43

It was about information concerning other social media s, which you rarely disseminate outside of your profile in principle (at least, I haven't seen that in game chats), and there you'll see information about yourself one way or another, including the flag (you basically have to spend money on that there).

https://github.com/ppy/osu/discussions/28120#discussion-6617714
"On at least 2 different occasions I already had the situations where Vtubers had to refuse playing Osu with viewers on stream
because they did not want the game to dox their country location.

Both at first accidentally made an , noticed that it displays their country, then were forced to do something about it.
The first let their get deleted through email, the other one paid for to be able to let their name changed, only for it to still being shown as former name."

oh yeah people already know about the low precision doxxing before linking their other social media to their osu , too bad creating an while streaming on twitch is an exception to that("accidentally"),
I guess vtubers have to read the every single time they create an anywhere, try doing that and see if it's fun

Bro, you are the only racist in the thread. Because you single out Africans among other people and think they should be ashamed of their place of birth.

This thread have no sense, stop projecting your complexes onto others.

I mentioned africans just for example
