Re: Petition to address The most frequently asked question 15Jul 06, 2010 12:23 pm To be honest, I can't comprehend why would people be reluctant to state their location in their profile in the first place. I am probably missing something, as I can't figure how can stating my state (NSW) or even my major city (Sydney) cause me any problems with privacy (if privacy is the concern). A few people went ahead with creating their build threads, posting pics of their house, identifying their builder, stating their location somewhere else in some post in some other context, but are still not updating their profile ... perhaps just an oversight and not so much the fear of being easily identifiable (by what I see as a generously broad location)?! If house facade doesn't identify the owner (and especially to their builder), how can a blank location protect the privacy of their identity (if it is privacy that is the concern) Perhaps the question to ask is - Why? (why wouldn't one want to display their location) My signature is distracting people from my wise posts ... Re: Petition to address The most frequently asked question 16Jul 06, 2010 12:27 pm Nup. This has gone on too long. Its about time people got the message that questions are very regularly ambiguous unless they are read within the CONTEXT of their location. Doing as you say (Donuts) is to capitulate to a forum that is not addressing this issue. Re: Petition to address The most frequently asked question 17Jul 06, 2010 4:58 pm See I really cannot stand this type of "directive". Altho' I have my city in my details I don't think that we should "have" to include it. If I were to ask for information regarding something then I would ask for information pertaining to my actual area (well actually I would probably just confer with Suh LOL!!) Some things are worth waiting for. Re: Petition to address The most frequently asked question 18Jul 06, 2010 5:30 pm Kyton, no probs! As I said "feel FREE to do likewise".... which equally can be taken as "feel free NOT to do likewise". The thing is, its a CONSTANT annoying fact that people absent mindedly post questions which can't be properly answered unless location is mentioned. Sure, some include their location in their post, but more often than not, they neglect to, and the circus begins again! There is NO good reason to not make it mandatory. If someone is so paranoid about anonymity, they could easily put a false location in their profile. Clearly though, this would be counter-productive if they get answers that are not helpful (which would be their own problem). Re: Petition to address The most frequently asked question 19Jul 06, 2010 8:39 pm Getting tired of people with 1 or 2 posts and this sort of topic "What landscaping" "Airconditioning HELP" "URGENT - MY builder did this" And none of them have profile locations or bother to tell you where they are in the topic So I updated my signature..................

I dont have a problem stating my state - this has been in my profile since I joined. I do have some reservations about stating my town - as I said before, this is alright for those in major cities - could be an issue for those of us in country towns. Yes, granted, I may of occasionally mentioned my town in specific posts but thats not the same, to me anyway, as haveing it on every single post Ive ever made. (and Ive made thousands ) So I dont think mandatory locations should go any further than just the state you are in. 9 24626 Thank you. That is really helpful.
