Location in profiles

I made mention recently about the location field in user profiles being misused. This field is for your location, nothing more. Put in a city and/or state only. Remarks like "Earth", "where I live is the best place", "where I live sucks", etc. do not belong. This field is not for commentary, its for location. When we see this type of thing, we'll simply wipe it out.

Thanks Webmaster,It does make it easier,when you are trying to help somebody diag a problem to know that you are not looking for a cold weather related issue and he is in hawaii or texas,and it is a pain to have to look it up in their profile instead of just looking at the top of their post

They still have to enter it though.
Lots of people just leave it blank because they are playing hide & seek I guess.

The country field shows up when you click "Members" on the top bar.

Hopefully (Im asking not telling) it is an issue that will be dealt with individually though and we arent in jeopardy of losing that feature?

Its incredibly helpful when trying to assist someone with something, and nice to know in general.
