Can we put an official STOP to the constant nagging about location, location, locati

[Diggin It]

Once and for all?

If someone does not choose to post their location for any reason at all, that should be that. NO ONE should be allowed to repeatedly and continuously hound others about posting their location. Whether or not some feel that information may be somehow valuable in forming their replies does not matter at all. If it isn't there and a poster doesn't feel they can answer in a way they feel necessary, they don't need to reply.

The obsession some have is getting offensive and is causing unnecessary discord and distraction in too many threads.


Request a policy change prohibiting members from asking such personal questions.

I don't find it that annoying. Some people just appear to be extremely detail oriented and I'm guessing are just trying to be helpful in their own way. I sometimes look at location and am a tiny bit annoyed when it's not listed. Not, like you have to specify Longitude and Latitude. Maybe there are members in Witness Protection. lol

I just ASK.. Are u or if your, "in the States", I'll send u one..

Location helps in many ways in answering questions. Stop crying already, it's not offensive in any way shape or form..

I want folks to know where we reside. We have nothing to hide. Its also much easier to answer questions people might ask, if say where they reside.

I originally had my location posted in my profile. Then I got tired of one individual hounding others who didn't. Sometimes without even adding anything pertinent to the O.P. inquiry. That's when I edited my profile and removed my location. Just for the h--- of it.

If my location or location of others is necessary to answer a specific question or for specific information, we can always include our location in the comment section.

Location is optional. We here are all allowed to choose.

Yea we got to quit hounding. Just doesn't want to be known. Heck his neighbors probably don't know who he is either. :confused3:

I wouldn't say you HAVE to post your location. But it IS interesting and definitely adds something to the forum. You meet someone and the first thing you ask them is where they are from.

Exactly how does a location make it easier to answer a query?

IMO...unless you have lived within a few miles of a location you are not going to know ground conditions...you may be familiar with local businesses but in that respect NOBODY should put that close of a location on the public interweb...it serves NO purpose (that's what PMs are for)...

If you want to do somebody's homework for them and need to know a region to search CL for them just ask via PM...

Telling a noob that not putting their locale in their info will get them less than the best advice is pure baloney...and for the most part they are just being nosy

I don't, I ask how much they make & do they own their tractor.

Important info for a relationship.
