Location not given

ZozaTech

Most people don't want other people to know their real country, and even though sometimes they can put antartica, most people just don't want to show it, so instead of doing inspect element to make it Location not given, why can't it be an option to have location not given? Most people don't know how to do the inspect elememt trick.

Huh, I had to double check that Location not given was not an option. You're right, and strange enough, there are two options for the United States (I think this is for the previously selected country although it could be a bug).

As a long time Scratcher, I have found new meaning to the name “Scratch”: for me, it means to “scratch that itch”, to come back again and again to realize new ideas in this toy language, even when I'm capable of creating my projects in real programming languages years later. It's a friend that helped me to pursue programming and get me to enjoy its fruit. I'm certain many others who have walked this path as well have grown fond of its importance in their life.

Well, first of all, “Inspect Element” isn't permanent. It temporarily changes the HTML/CSS of a webpage.
This WAS a feature, I don't know why it's gone

Not for the locations! You enter an invalid option in inspect element, then press save now, and it comes up as Location not Given.

There's already a way to set your location to Location not given, without using Inspect Element.

Immediately when you go Account Settings, go to Account and Save my Changes.

Not for the locations! You enter an invalid option in inspect element, then press save now, and it comes up as Location not Given.

Yep. Also, it's not permanent. If you enter a two letter initial in all caps like ME, NO, or ST, the initial will show as your location.

Correct me if i'm wrong…

The above post was likely clear sass. 10 outta 10.
Unless it wasn't. Which happens from time to time. Sadly.

I personally think it's annoying how they have Antartica as their location!

here is a good piece of advice—–https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRjbV2SET8IX-XciSIKwTabEJnxoN51u5qu9X65qMeSMno6c918JQEUtO5w

I learned a way to do it: Just go to Account settings and double click the “Save my Changes” button. It really works!

Nothing seems to be working on my account. I've tried the inspect element and double clicking save changes and clicking the current location again. Could somebody please help me get location not given?

Favorite Quote (From the Infinity War trailer

):
“In time, you will know what it's like to lose, to feel so desperately that you're right, yet to fail, all the same. Dread it, run from it, Destiny still arrives.”
(trailer cuz I like the “all the same” more than “nonetheless” for that quote for some reason lol)

It was a glitch, now it's been patched.

Also, the location only shows your country, and you have no way of even knowing if it's correct. What about that makes you feel unsafe?
