danddo Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I know that to complete the profile is optional and I have no problem with that, but I would be interested to hear other members opinions: mainly when members are asking for shooting wanted it would be good to see a little information of the member who is asking mainly age and location. Or have I got this completely wrong - over to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albob Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 (edited) would be nice if they would spend the time to do that,as you can get a picture(even a small pic helps)of a person and note it and use their posts to gauge that person. i have thought about taking someone out,that has no shoot or to try rimfires but,it can take a while to gauge people without some extra info without actually asking them,plus their area helps and saves asking where do you live?.. al Edited February 2, 2010 by albob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I agree. Although not compulsory, it would be good to know where new members come from, if only their county. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Adding profile information is voluntary, we don't make users complete it. However.. Posting "does anyone near me have...." or "gun for sale, face to face only" is fairly useless if you don't haven't added or mention your location Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egg Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 You can say anything you like about yourself in your Profile - if you have no intention of ever meeting another forum member that's the drawback/joy of the black-hole of anonymity that is the tinterweb.

RC45 Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I don't like displaying what equipment I have, as sometimes there are thieves who troll forums.
