Answer 19

@dumbsearch2 , well you can make an awesome one :)

@Preetha I wish I can make the map like this xD
*this map is traffic of OS

Answer 20

@Preetha Doesn't your server have already location stats?

Answer 21

Yep, @Preetha can make a map by IP's users

Answer 22

That's what I thought @machida.
And even though IP addresses aren't always 100% accurate, they usually get simple info like your state right.

Answer 23

ahem , privacy, ahem

Answer 24

that's great INDIA ON SECOND RANK :)

Answer 25

@modphysnoob This site already collects IPs, it says so in the privacy policy. It wouldn't be making the IPs public, just the locations that the IP can provide.

totally added myself :D I love this idea of yours @Machida :)

Answer 27

But it is so much cooler when people add themselves.... (-:

Answer 33

@Jamierox4ev3r and @love_jessika15 gracias <3

Answer 34

omg no problem :P

Answer 35

Ok absolutely no way would we do that with people's ip's. It is truly unethical, I would never look at OpenStudy right ever again if they did that.

Answer 36

We could include an option that says "Would you like to share your location on our user map?" and if they click yes it would share their regional location (i.e city, state, county etc..).

Answer 37

Since IP's only share regional locations in the first place.

Answer 38

@Microrobot OpenStudy already stores IPs

Answer 39

Answer 40

I know that but they should not be used for those purposes, and using it for those purposes does that comply with OpenStudy's own Privacy-Policy
