Add search by country of origin

I do a lot of research related to catching cheaters. Most of the time the cheaters that I'm researching are multis. I would like to be able to do a search by country. For example; I'm researching some multis right now that are Brazilian. It would be helpful if I could search the site for all players from Brazil. I could then cross check them against my main suspect to see if they had played together.

It would be very helpful to be able to search for players by country. This would be useful for tracking cheaters, starting International tournaments or call outs and inviting players from other countries into clans or groups.

If there is already a way to do this then please let me know. If not, please consider this as it would allow me or other players another weapon in the hunt for cheaters. As we all know, they are a bane to this site. Thanks

I have to agree with this. Make a poll.
It's also useful for finding opponents with similar time-zones so you can play rt without going into live chat or callouts.

You can click Members (top right) then sort by Location...

However this isn't that satisfactory - as it's the user entered location... and not anything else.

I thought that you were assigned a country automatically when you registered. Regardless, even if you fill in your own origin, most people don't think about it and enter their true country of origin. Most of the multis that I've looked at; do this. Also, as Joodoo mentioned, it would be useful for many other purposes like finding players by time zone for speed or RT games.

I don't know squat about programming or pretty much anything computer related. However, if this is not too difficult it would be a very valuable and useful tool.

You get a flag based on ISP... The location I think you fill in upon sign up - but you can then edit it...

The amount of people with "Your mums XXXXX" is amusing - yet sad!

Thanks for the explanation on the flag. What does the statement I copied from your quote mean? What is "your mums XXXXX?"

The ability to search things in a player's profile such as country would be useful for catching multis and for positive things such as challenges and other game related activities.
