Lavabo Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Hello as a suggestion, could it be possible to ask poster to add country at the end of the title? Maybe as a rule for the section Private sale thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe as a rule thanks What, exactly do you mean by “in Private Section”? It has always (or at least since May 2016) been a requirement that members add there location in their title as is clearly stated in the “read this first before posting” thread below (you did read that before posting didn’t you? ? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I thought it meant the "Local Group Meet Ups" forum, but apparently OP means the Private Sales forum. Would be a nice idea for both! "[USA] California somewhere ride whatever bla bla" "Paris Car Free Day [France]" "[US] Inmotion V8 for sale, 500miles" so mandatory country in the title. Would make it easier to quickly scan for relevant threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavabo Posted March 22, 2018 Author Share Posted March 22, 2018 ive read it, and under ADVERTISING RULES nothing state the user to add there location in their title. Anyway if you browse the private sale section, only a few add their country in the title. Otherwise we have to read the entire message and even sometime its not that clear: ok when price is in euro or pound ok when there is no geographical sale details, i look at the location in the avatar to the left... I'm in Canada, i wont look for sale in UK, mostly Usa. But i know its not too much hassle, just making a suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why was exoplanet allowed to put down Pluto? Well, I may have to take that back. I just took a look and could not find a single blank location field. I found an "EU" which is a tiny bit vauge, as, unlike the USA EU is not a country. Has it been made compulsory, i.e, no location info no account?

A stupid location to use maybe, but it is a place! And for the record, this forum is not a place that will support your ex-planet discrimination. Having said that... It's still a stupid location to use... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, we don’t allow plagiarism on this site - I hearby stake my claim to having said that first ?

OK, requirement might be too strong a word, we encourage it strongly as it is very difficult to help people if you do not know where they are. However policing it would be a nightmare as people from some countries seem to forget that there ARE any other countries out there ☹️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddylaz Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 People should also be made to state their favourite Rocky movie and pizza toppings in bio. Makes it easier to filter out trash people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavabo Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 maybe just make a standard form at the beginning, some forum use it when you create a new tread, the form is then pasted like: What do you sell: ______________________ Price and currency: ______________________(USD/EUR/L/Yen...) Country: _____________________ Details: it wont be visible on the subject but if you hover the mouse on the subject tread you can read the first few line... or we can use the tags and add our country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The private sells section is just a goodie here or maybe call it a small part of the complete forum! So we dont want that much of “Have/must be”.....which takes our mod time while it could be used for more important things.... In the case of a missing country, i agree, that is stupid from the seller, but asking him might be the easiest way around :-) So not that big of a deal, or? ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
