I'm fine with country and region, but I don't want my city displayed in chat.
City might be going too far for some, but personally it doesn't bother me at all.
Seems like a cool feature, if it's not used by pervs.. :q:
Country is fine, region is ok, city is going too far.
It's fine to me if it went as far as displaying the state, but giving the city is just taking it too far. I don't want another "girl" looking for me. :ohdear:
lmao paranoid people
I guess I don't understand the paranoia. It doesn't bother me at all if they know where I live. Big deal, come and find me in the 100,000 people that live around here.
Well, IP's always get the wrong city for me so it's not a problem :v:

IPs are usually traced back to the "server"/ISP's local hub, to locate someone's house you'd probably need info from the ISP.
What do people think? There is some psychopathic gamer that will get so raged from you killing them that they are willing to go through the rigorous process of hunting you down by going to your city and then some how finding your address?
And it's Garry's mod... most of its members can't even drive.
Not you can find where mingebags live and go beat the shit out of them.
But what the problem with it being displayed? Its not like a russian kid from a russian server that you joined is going to travel half the world to find you to beat you up because you called him a commie.

There's very little chance you'll even get the right city, if it's a town just forget about it.
Surely this is invading privacy? Country is fine but then some people might start getting racial etc...
I'm okay with it displaying the information on join, but nobody needs to know your country for every chat message.
Well it says that I live in a city 150km away from where I live but otherwise quite accurate.
Please, tf2 and css and all other source games have been doing this for ages.

If it was invading privacy, it wouldnt be possible this easy.

BR?!

One of those once told me I lived in the Netherlands, I don't even know how that works.
There are 150000 people in the city i live in. What is the likelihood that someone will find me based on city alone?

what about people who have joined after the person talking?

The thing thought you were more awesome than you are, so assumed you lived in the Netherlands :3:
I thinks I live 70 miles away from where I live.
