Well fearf, there's been a lot of moderator discussion now, with reasonable concerns raised about privacy issues. We're not going to force people to disclose their location if they choose not to. At the same time, we want to make sure that new users in particular are educated to the advantages of filling in the Location profile, and how to do that. Ideally, a blank Location should be the result of a deliberate choice, not just an oversight or difficulty.fearfaoin wrote:Is there a reason for that?MTGuru wrote:We don't enforce filling it in as mandatory (yet).
