So....WHY DO WE WANT A 'ROUGH LOCATION' ?

A year after this forum started, opinion was canvassed from a wide cross section of
Members to ask them if the following were valid and acceptable reasons to make
to make it necessary for ALL Members to provide a 'rough location' in their Profile :-
 A/ It makes it easy for forum members to see/find other members in the same
     area to perhaps arrange or organise individual area meets.
 B/ Or to contact those close by to organise a 'tube' (as in a 'tube' of Smarties...LOL)
     to any Smart event/s....[a 'convoy' of Smarts in other words]
 C/ Or for a Forum member to seek and ask for help or assistance with their ForFour.
     One could ask this via a PM (Private Message) if they have an issue/problem.

The majority response to this was a resounding "Yes", and from that point ALL
existing members were asked to update their Profiles with their 'rough location',
and ALL future members would be required to provide that in their Application.

Note:- Providing a 'rough location' as specified does not breach any private or personal
information Standards.

AND FINALLY...
ANY member who wishes to sell their Smart car, or parts thereof are only permitted
to do so via the relevant sub-Sections within the Market Place category of the Forum.

The Forum is not to be used as a 'stepping stone' to post up any business sales for
company/companies that a member may work for, nor to be used as a 'mailing point'
to send PM's (Private Messages) to members for the same purpose, and any member
contravening this will be removed and banned from the Forum without question.

Thanks....
the Admin Team. (JJ/CrazyG)
