I am very much concerned with how things work in practice, not as an idea, so I am actually looking at the actual numbers and how this or that policy is affecting them. By numbers I mean the real numbers of how many members set up their location, how many of these locations are very generic (e.g. US, Asia, Australia, VA, MS,...), how many are useless (e.g. over here, nice place, location location location,...).

I think we are at present almost at the best we can do - about 90% of the registrations set locations with a break up: 25% generic+garbage and 65% useful. I don't think going for the remaining 10% currently empty locations by forcing everybody to put something in there is a good strategy.

I totally agree with Bill, should be a requirement! its not like you need to put in your actual address but at least a country of origin.

For example i was just reading this thread, http://straightrazorpalace.com/aucti...ml#post1344822
Bram talks about his location, and im trying to understand the ebay situation but Bram has no Location stated.
