Yorkshire Wildfowler Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 (edited) Its time all members when joining forum are made to fill in the location part of their profile, that also goes for members registered already as nine times out of ten in the trading posts, sales and wanted ads when anybody puts anything up for sale or wanted the next reply is "WHAT IS YOUR LOCATION OR WHERE ARE YOU". So come on mods get your fingers out and make it compulsory. Edited January 9, 2011 by Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willxx Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 from what I've seen it seems to be more of an issue for people viewing on phones as they don't seem to get location visible, (no idea personally as I only use my laptop ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Every time this question is raised (about every 6 months), we respond in the same way. If we oblige people to enter their location when registering, whats to stop them putting "The Moon", or something similar, what if they put "Edinburgh" and live in "Birmingham". It pointless having Rules that are almost impossible and too time consuming to enforce. If somebody posts in the Sales or Wanted sections and doesn't put their location, then just ignore their post.

busdennis Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 (edited) if the seller wants to sell there stuff they should put together a decent post if sellers alway posted prices and locations some other members post count would be halfed by replying with useless replys like this Edited January 9, 2011 by busdennis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berties Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Adding location allows people to know your region if you are selling or have a wanted,you never know you might meet some local like minded soles to meet up with,adding age details is another option but if some one wishes you happy birthday it's a bonus you don't get many cards at my age It's all optional no one wants to interfere with any ones civil liberties ,we can all hide behind a avatar,but some of us like to meet up and knowing location does help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
