Suggestion: Location tags on FS/FT forum

[Mokmo418]

When someone posts a FS/FT, he should put some sort of tag in it to show the location of the item. this tag could contain the state (in the U.S.) or country abbreviation.

Example

[CDN] Maple Leafs mouse mat 5$
[ME] Patriots Jersey
[MA] Fenway tickets
[UK]
[MX]

You can then easily find an item in your area

There is no mail or postal service where you are?

This could be useful with some large items - i.e. monitors, cases. The kind of stuff you'd actually bother doing a local pickup on.

in which case, it would probably be ideal for the seller to indicate such in his topic title or summary -- since he's the one with that particular preference.

One should be able to look at the profile and get a clue.

Presently the profile must be enabled for the FS/FT use and the user must have a valid E-Mail.
Why not also require that Province/State and Country be valid also within the rule of use.
This way,if one is interested in the item, you can check the users location to make the final determination.

Hmmm. Sounds good. Just might work.
