Location on Sign Up Page
-
Currently the user's location on the signup page defaults to "United Stated". While I think most of us here are from the US, I get tired of people signing up to ask for their homework to be done for them and when you check their profile, it says United States. :mad: Force them to at least pick something. They could still lie but...
You measure democracy by the freedom it gives its dissidents, not the freedom it gives its assimilated conformists.

The first signup page can actually do an auto-detect based on remote IP address. Not a fool-proof measure though but a significant gap should be covered anyway.

I had to try that from Antwerp, Belgium. "Sign up" yields the form with time zone almost correct (it said "+1 GMT: Amsterdam" where "+1 GMT: Brussels" would be more correct). It also said "Country: United States" :~ I have a screenshot if you need one. :)

While you're at it, could you try that in Bangalore and Karachi? :rolleyes: :laugh:

No problem, I'll do that the next time I'm around, assuming my mobile internet will work there as well as it does here. Do you think those cities got annexed too? :)

Might as well have. Both would probably have gone belly up long ago except for US foreign aid. :sigh:

At the rate things are going, it should default to "India".

I could suggest how the rest of the profile should be defaulted. This would be especially helpful to the one post idiots who create a new ID every time their homework is due. However, I'd probably get censored for being politically incorrect and culturally insensitive and be forced to read Lounge posts to atone for my misdeeds. X|
