You delegate your responsibilities (.com) and expect perfection?

And the other 16% ?

Acceptable.
20% good leaves 80%, of which 20% (=16%) must be OK, leaving 64% shite.
Similarly, 20% of the good 20% (=4%) is excellent.

Is it possible to be more cynical?

I had to Google... But it seems to be me they are perfect shiny example of American capitalism, nothing to see here!

I've noticed that the huge number of CP members (per Q&A as an example) seem to have the USA as their flag icon. I would suspect that this is the default.
Now CP is in Canada. Couldn't you make that the default and take the blame for these "persons" ? Or better still, France or North Korea?
I mean, isn't it time for a change?

Must be because The Place[^] was already taken! We'd usually go there when driving down to the US to pick up stuff for which shipping to Canada was ridiculously expensive.

Still misleading. Maybe the flag of the Soviet Union. Then you'd know they never updated it.

It's time for an IP address check. I'll even volunteer to write it; if it's also implemented. Also a black list.

I use a VPN and have enough trouble already with imbecilic software that does this.
Even worse are sites that don't accept logins through a VPN or that constantly want you to go through Captchas. Some of them have business models that are, in large part, based on tracking, so they clearly want to make life for VPN users miserable. Others are built on crap server frameworks that reject VPN addresses.

. . . and don't forget the genius' that won't allow anything but the most common top-level domains. Alas, even some on CP have their minds stuck in that groove.
Might I suggest you check Q&A and then realize that graduates of Q&A are now writing their idea software.

I'm specifically thinking of "one" Design and Architecture clown who seems to have CP at bay.
And "browsing" is not the same as signing up is not the same as posting shyte is not the same as ...

We've used IP checks for nearly 15 years.
However. We also allow members to set their display country as a country other than what their IP says. Your private info is your private info.

Flag? I never noticed that before! It got mine right - UK, but I don't know how!
Also, it has my location as Bicester. Where did that come from? I didn't even know there was a place to put your address - until 5 minutes ago.

Considering that I am a Brit who just happens to live in the US at the moment, there should be an option to get the correct flag set. Just a thought.
