I woke up this morning to see that my flag has been changed. The Quebec flag has been removed from the setting selection also. Why ?
I am a very perplexed client...
are you wanting to be like the Swiss?
make some better cheese then them then you wil be entitled to a flag of your own better; still make a better chocolate that will do me! 🙂

The real question is why isn't Quebec a seperate member of FIDE from Canada, you guys have been talking about seceding practically since Canada became a country, you'd think you would at least get into FIDE or something as a seperate country. Just secede from Canada and you'll have your own flag.

Quebec IS Canadian - end of story as far as countries go.
England, Scotland,Wales and Ireland are separate countries.
The fact remains that, for whatever misguided reason, Quebec had it's own flag here at RHP and it has now disappeared for the thread starter - hence it should be returned or an explanation given - in my opinion.

We had a discussion about your flag last year in site ideas - at the beginning of the thread there was no flag for Quebec, it was added later.

Originally posted by climb2highIt is no longer in the list of available flags - you'll probably have to ask the admin for a reason.
ok, i just went through the whole thread.
My thoughts on the subject are that Quebec is a nation as much as Scotland, Wales, Mexico, Germany, etc... The last thing I want to do is start a thread half as long as the other one about this.
I just want to know why my flag is not there anymore.

I'm not interested in the Quebec flag alone, I want to know the principle, the criterium when a flag is concidered being good enough to have in RHP.
...and why add it in the first place and remove it in the second place and have and argument about bringing it back in the third place?

Come back when England, not the UK, has a representation in the UN or the EU. Until then, "Wales is a separate country" is a fiction devised to keep the Taffia from raising a rebellion.

US has a lot of states with its own flag. Same with Brazil, Mexico, Germany... In Sweden we have a number of län and landskap with its own flag, should we include all of these too? And every city or town with a flag of their own... Were should we stop?
I don't want this to be a political argument. I’m more interested about principles. When we agree on them, we can easily see if Quebec falls inside or outside and what provinces more can demand a flag at RHP for their own.
I say that every country that is a member of UN and/or FIDE is a good rule.

If England is a country, that's because it (behaves as if) owns the rest of the UK (and if you don't believe it does, ask how it feels to a Scotsman). If you would like the other parts of the UK to be independent countries as well, in fact as well as in politics, well, Tory Blair has promised to leave before the year is done, blessed be, so vote for devolution.
To return to the real subject of this thread: real countries or no, I have no problem with Scotland et al. having their own flags on this site; but I do think that since they do, any other country or "country" which is recognised by the relevant authorities deserves one, as well. Quebec is not (yet) an independent member of FIDE.
On which note, I'm slightly disappointed (as well as somewhat surprised) that we can't (for the same reason) select Kalmykia as our country.

...
If someone wants a flag added to the site, just ask the site admin and they will decide. If things get out of hand, for sure they will come up with some criteria to limit it.
