It sounds like you're just making up theoretical issues we don't have
Sorry if my response was too long or overly complicated, I was simply describing how doxxing works, since there seemed to have been a slight misunderstanding.
In any case, it wasn't the main argument for the suggestion; the first post is.
Though I don't want this part to go under the radar :
PS: Relying on VPNs as the only workaround creates a double standard: Users who care about connection quality and privacy are forced to experience high latency on other programs (or pay VPN), while anyone wanting to spoof their location or misbehave can bypass the mandatory flag system in seconds anyway. A client-side toggle solves the privacy issue cleanly without forcing players into VPNs.

Since the contributor count and time is limited. We'll be working on the real issues FAF has right now.
I understand thisand have nothing to say about it, so I'll just quote thismerely as a future reminder. (not as an "umm no, do mine first")

From a technical standpoint, the entire flag system is already set up and I know being able to straight up disable would bring problems on it's own, so all that would need to be done is to allow it to show something else. It could be something nice like a faction symbol, or even just the question mark that it can already show.
