Nationality Patches

[Guest]

I’d be very shocked if this hasn’t been mentioned before, but has adding “Nationality Patches” to each member (I mean like on the ISS suits where you have multiple nationalities) ever been considered? 

I think it would be (a) pretty cool; (b) might improve explaining things (ie if we can see someone is for example French they may not speak English so we could answer without using slang or complex words a translator wouldn’t understand) ; (c) highlights the wide diversity this game creates and how potentially science and exploration can unite the whole world (copied that from a miss world speech).

On the other side I appreciate it could cause issues with sectarianism but I think in the whole it’s a friendly forum?

Not a request as such, just pure interest.

This presumes that all forum users are humans and discriminates the bots and trolls.

There's reasons nationality is considered PII (personally identifiable information) in privacy regulations, and storage and disclosure heavily regulated. Aside from the website and its owners getting into pretty dicey judicial hot waters, it really wouldn't do any of the positive things you hope for.

That you think your language needs to be dumbed down based on what flag appears on your audience's shoulder is ironically a perfect example of why this is a bad idea.

We're all one human race, united in our fascination for tiny green space people launching fiery rockets. Let's leave it at that.
