Asking for a favor

[Marlin]

I have been thinking about this for the last day. As a favor to me, I would like to see everybody put their location on their profile.

It would make life much easier in the trading post section.

Now, before you all go off half cocked and tighten the tinfoil, and scream that "they" will find you.

Let me enlighten you, if I, as just a step above a computer illiterate can find you in about 4 clicks, What makes you think that somebody who Knows what they are doing, can't?

I don't even care if you live in Parker and put down Castle Rock, Just something close so if you are dealing in the Trading post, at least people will have an idea as to where a meeting place can be arranged.

I would appreciate it very much. Thank you..


UPDATE 1-31-11

In light of recent developements both on this board and in Arizona.
The placement of your location is now MANDATORY. I know most of you have it there anyway and always check ID's. However, not wanting anything bad to reflect on this site, I will require it now.

If you still feel that this is some sort of "infringement" on your rights, complain about it somewhere else, because, you won't be here. Starting friday, (Unless I get called into work.) I start banning all those that think they are above compliance.

Thank you for your cooperation.

[BigBear]

Alpha Mike Foxtrot won't cut it huh?..... hehe

[Marlin]

Well, you are my "special" bear.



[LOL]

[Graves]

Done... a couple years back. [Tooth]

[sniper7]

Great idea! It is a pain to find them in ads. Anyway to make it mandatory for new accounts? Even a drop down list with cities to pick from?

Yay!! I'm "special"!!.... Hey.... wait a minute..... [Mad][Mad]



[LOL]

[patrick0685]

At least ur only special [Bang]

[henpecked]

Having a location is real nice........Thanks Marlin

Or at least to be able post in the for sale/wanted sections.

I have tried looking, either not possible, or I haven't run across it yet.


Graves, See the answer for Patrick.[Neene1]

[StagLefty]

Makes a world of sense [Beer]

[Graves]

I've only been here a couple years and the volume in classifieds has grown tremendously. Hell, the feedback section was only 7-8 pages when I got my first bit of feedback; looks like it's around 45 now!

[DFBrews]

Makes sense to me.

[BlasterBob]

This location thing is what I have been hoping for all along. If we are NOT doing something questionable, what's the harm in at least giving our general location - it is not like we are asking for street/house numbers. Geez.

[CrufflerSteve]

I agree with the profile but I put my location in when I joined since I'm not hiding out. It would also be a real courtesy to say where you'd be available to work out a deal. I do in my ads and have dealt with others who do.

The for sale section needs all the help it can.

I could use another mod in there..[Awesom]

[Mazin]

TY! I agree should be maditory, its not like they have to give their Street Address...

[gnihcraes]

I put in Castle Rock for you. (joke)

[Irving]

Does this mean I need to change my location from Jefferson?

You keep painting me into the "For Sale" forum corner, and eventually I'm going to have to buy or sell something. :)

[Colorado Luckydog]

I'm not going to do it.

You already did. In a way..

[Marlin]

I'm not going to do it.


Too late..[Tooth]

[ChunkyMonkey]

Great idea! Thx Marlin

[Marlin]

Thanks, Yep, I get one about once a decade. [Tooth]

[Dr_Fwd]

And this should be mandatory! Marlin, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! I mean it.

[GhostRider]

been there for a while but I agree with you 100%

[theGinsue]

The for sale section needs all the help it can.

Naw, I was thinking more along the safety in numbers type thing..

[Aloha_Shooter]

I generally figured anyone who didn't put a location down didn't really want to do business ...

[Irving]

Is this kind of like when a police officer says, "Why don't you do me a favor and step out of the vehicle." ?

[Troublco]

Which is better...what I have, or Unincorporated Arapahoe County? That's about as specific as I can get...

[theGinsue]

I like what you have posted in your profile.

[Marlin]

Like I said, as long as it's close.

Nothing, or "USA", Not quite good enough. Heck, I can even accept "Pawnee"

[Irving]

Pawnee is a pretty specific area.

[Marlin]

Better than nothing, at least you know a certian area.

[StagLefty]

I can even accept "Pawnee"

It's good to know where HBAR is at all times [ROFL1]
