I notice that there are quite a few members who don't put in their location. Now please forgive me if this sounds petty, but I like to know where people are from

For me it makes them seem more genuine if they are not 'scared' to put their location up for all to see, like they are not trying to hide so much.

Anyway, is this something others have an issue with?

I guess what I am suggesting is making it a mandatory field, is this something that would be seen as a positive for the site?

Yeah would like to see it as mandatory as well.
Especially with international members, just so we know postage prices & delivery times are going to be higher/longer.

I think it is a great idea, Should be Compulsory to be able to Sell/Trade on OZCT

Hey Craig, You going to toss it back in, lol

sgt_pepper · Feb 27, 2013

doesnt bother me. but i think its a bit much making it compulsory. people should be able to maintain some privacy if they want.
maybe country should be mandatory tho? or at least an indication youre international (for postage purposes).

I think it's a great idea to make it mandatory. You aren't putting your entire address, just the suburb or city so privacy is NOT an issue

Why would you want to hide your Country/ State/ City? it's not like you are putting your address there for everyone to see! I personally have no issue with this as I have nothing to hide, not here to rip anyone off.

im not trying to rip anyone off either?! its a bit presumptious to think if youre a private person youre automatically up to something dodgy...
i do have my state listed, because i dont really care. but if you dont want to it should be your choice...

Haha yes I know that, like you say your state is listed here and I was not suggesting that you were, hope no offense was taken, I just PERSONALLY think it is good to be able to see where a member is based.

I think state at least, gives people an idea. Card collecting hobby is small as it is so most people know most others in their state etc.

I'll introduce myself my name is Brett, I'm 31 also known as Mr P, Mr Pap, Mr Paparazzi and I'm the MOJO producer in South Australia, I'm also highly addicted to collecting cardboard.

Compulsary showing of your country would sort it out IMO

WhiteyTheCelticsFan · Mar 7, 2013

Maybe for people that don't want their location, there could be an option for either: AUS or INT. (International)

ooneil · Mar 7, 2013

What possible reason would someone have for not showing their location???

Muzza · Mar 7, 2013

I am actually proud to advertise my location. I currently live in Earlwood NSW which is about 10 minutes drive from Belmore NSW (where I was born) the home of the Canterbury Bulldogs. My life long passion and the sole reason I collect footy cards. I'll shout it from my roof top if ya want.

The option is there for people to write whatever they want. If we made it a required field, people would just put a dot or rubbish.

Maybe like an option bar? So people can't write rubbish?

An option bar that says what exactly? A drop down with every city and town in the world?
