Another option? "Hide users status' on posts" or something in that area.

As well, is there truly any use to the avatar caption?

yes.. avatar caption > weird flags.
there's no real use for having a flag in every post either and imo the location bit in the profile is enough, because what does it matter where someone lives? no need to stick it in every post imo.

I agree that the flags look kinda neat though

For the people who don't see the point in the flags....

The country in which someone comes from is highly important in how that person acts.  Has anyone else here done any international business subjects or management subjects relating to international companies.  Have a google for "Hofstede" and you can start to grasp the diversity in how people behave.  Also with understand where a person comes from you can have a little more understanding for their english skills.  Things like this really do matter quite a lot, it's not until you start looking at it before you really start understanding how different each country actually is to your own....

For example, Americans are lazy (wdz)

I thought it was true

Yer the flag is a good idea! please add it! please!

Lets have a total change in forum. Lets cancel the postbit thingy, and keep every info in a box like contact card of Windows Live Spaces. Then we can add lots of things inside it without annyoying any person. Also we don't have to download always same things about a member (Member cards' content will be downloaded when we click on Members' name). Also pages will be very short, especially ones which contains short messages like "hello". People who wants to view the info about member can click on his/her name. Maybe it is very strange for a forum, but maybe Forums will use this method in the future as a standard forum look, and lets we will be the first as, I don't know, the biggest international community.

Edit: I opened a poll in Poll Center, please vote for it. Here Poll was removed with a reason I don't know yet. I know now that, poll was very unsuccessful and worth to be removed

ew

Basic info there rocks. The excess info could be added in a card but tbh I don't see the need.
Thus I vote for no.

(By vote, I mean http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=75385 in case someone hasn't seen it already)
