While I don't think the map necessarily puts anyone in danger, I do worry that as we get more and more attention, the fact that we are a site about a kid's toy that has a map showing where people live might attract ... the wrong kind of attention. Particularly from parents, or Hasbro.

No chance. There was very little resistance to its removal when the announcement was originally posted. And I would echo Bey Brad's sentiments from a later post in that thread as to why we would hesitate to bring it back:

That being said, the location notifications system (which would send you a notification on site and by e-mail when a tournament is upcoming near you) that Bey Brad spoke about in that same announcement hasn't been functional since the re-launch of our website on our eighth anniversary, as obviously some aspects of the project didn't go as planned and certain features had to be cut temporarily, like the location notifications system.

However, we are working on bringing it back and you can expect for the functionality to be working relatively soon. In fact, if you go to your Account page you should be able to set your location and notification distance right now. It won't do anything yet, but when the system is active, you'll automatically receive notifications for WBO tournaments near you. This uses the same mapping functionality, but on the back-end instead so that your location isn't visible to other users. We think this is a safer way of doing it.

(Apr. 21, 2018  9:24 PM)Kai-V Wrote: Yeah, but unlike Facebook and such, we are only locating people because they willingly input and submitted their address to be added on a map... So it was just a matter of making sure that people give as vague a location as possible. There were ways to ensure that, or at least prove that we had done reasonable efforts to restrict that data. If people still submit precise location that is too sensitive, then just adding a way to moderate those entries or delete them entirely would have been fine... We do that already when people beg for free Beyblades and post their real home address in a post.

Children actually finding their way into anything on this site these days is rare anyway hahah. Ah, kids.

Another option would be to more strictly regulate the Beyblade Communities forum in some way so that there is only one thread per location and see if there is a way to send notifications automatically about those threads. This would help us avoid having any kind of public list available, which I think is the ideal.

We have a lot on our plates right now, but I have added this to our list of suggestions for potential future site development-related projects.

That being said, I did want to mention that the barrier of entry to even hosting a tournament is lower than ever before. You only need four people (including yourself) in order to host an official event, which would then qualify it to have notifications sent out to people in the area once that is up and running.

Now there are too many threads to find each product thread.
And I always confuse which product has thread or not why don't you make thread list along with product number from B-01?
