Location Details

[Geeman]

I think it should be law that everyone put their location details in their avatar section. This way it will eliminate the need to ask where people are located if you require parts or anything from them. It's quite annoying sometimes when people ask where you are, when it's right there in front of them... just because they don't display their details...

Good idea...? Or a bad one?

Excellent idea!

[JoeP]

Good idea. The number of people I've seen ask, "Where ya from mate?" when it's written right in front of them really gets on my tits but then I'm generally very intolerant of stupid people anyway!

[316eyes]

Yes from me. Saves reading through pointless replies on threads.

[Geeman]

Only good if people either a) know WHAT the Theatre of Dreams is and b) know WHERE it is!

I'm assuming it's something to do with kicking pigs bladders around on the grass at lunchtimes...

While you were typing this I was editing mine to show support!

[d6dph]

yeah sounds like a good idea.

[Zayyan]

Good idea but I don't really see how you can make people do it

[jonbuoy]

I think it's a good idea but i'm not proud of where i live, it's classed as a bad area So i can't vote as that question is'nt on there

[panesar_e30]

bucks!!!!

[Simon13]

it's usually london people who don't like revealing where they live, if u ask

"north west london mate" ok.........

suspicious people!

it's easy to enforce by making it a mandatory bit of data u have to fill in on signing up?!

[Mahmood]

It's definitely a good idea. I even put down the postcode (E10) so you know that you can look it up if you want to collect something or to help you price when you are thinking of posting something.

Of course, anybody can of course make-up a location and post code

[Kos]

the problem is if i said osterley,isleworth which where i'm from most wont have a clue, west london---near heathrow gives them a better idea, as you say simon cambery-----surrey thats how it should be done !

it should be changed in the registration form and be made compulsary

[hammoj28]

Yeah I think this is a great idea.

[glenn]

yes, good idea giles.
mines been on since day one

[fuzzy]

definately a good idea, i put edinburgh area on mine as most folk wouldnt have heard of Broxburn, a small town next to edinburgh.not a particularly great place but no worse than anywhere else

[tylerma]

it's usually london people who don't like revealing where they live, if u ask

suspicious people!

excuse me sir we are not suspicious people
mine has been there since day one.

Jon you think yours is a bad area
try living in stepney for a bit

[E30Mark]

Excellent idea, but i guess some people don't want to be too specific.

As in, I've got a lovely M3 it's parked at XYZ and I'm away at work all day... hey where's my M3 gone.................

Ummmmm Pitsea! I used to live in Billericay, and work in Basildump....

[Cava]

As long as you put a general area in, that should help cut down on the pointless threads (without compromising security). Maybe make it a mandatory field when joining?

[smithy318i]

good idea.

i put My Exact location on mine

[Pal318is]

Good idea indeed!!

[matt_chase]

Yeah Bob-on Fella!!

Matt

[mrLEE30]
