Mandatory Location

[jstegman1]

Can we make the location field mandatory to fill out on for sale ads?

I second this. Don't want to bother asking if they're too far away in the first place.

HAHAHA - some of these guys don't know their geography. I have seen Savanah as middle Georgia

Zip code would be nice, but that might be asking too much from the Mensa members.

 

[jstegman1]

Either zip or city be mandatory. The region area is too....user brain cells dependant.

Another vote for at least zip code.
Waste time on too many ads where the poster‘s location is ‘Georgia’.
Well, no ****, Sherlock!

Why even bother? No one tells the truth anyway and even if they wanted to, half couldn't guess their region of the state if their lives depended upon it.

I am sure there's a way to do it but don't know the cost or if it's possible to automate it. Have the IP address location of anyone posting an ad shown in the ad, no editing. I know it's not without problems, but it'd be a start.

Surely even the biggest dumbass knows their zip code? They could look at those address labels all the charities flood you with this time of year.

You'd be stunned (maybe) at how many do not know a.) their own ZIP code and b.) what a ZIP code is or why we have it.
