That's about the same as banning them. What percentage of users do you think will install them, let alone be aware they exist ? I understand the reasoning behind this policy, but overall this seems like a gross overreaction. We have a vast international community here, why not let this community write up a black-list of sensitive flags to avoid, rather than ban'em all ?


B/c the members from Ihaterandomstan and the folks from randomstan will never come to consensus short of involving the UN or possibly Jimmy Carter.
