View Full Version : Why not put city and name in FS threads?

Been in RC for ~6 months now and I noticed some of the FS threads stated only the zip code and not the city's name. Why not both, because most of the time someone will ask " what is your location?" Is there some type of violations if you put city names?

zip codes are more accurate for shipping quotes.

Some of these FS are for pick up only. I think is a plan to get bumped

I would think most people trying to sell something would put their location in their profile so it shows up under their avatar to the left of their post. That's where I look first (though not on this board, I don't buy from here).

When shipping something many towns have multiple zip codes and shipping companies will ask for a zip over a town for shipping quotes.

Getting bumped is great for the thread , but leaving out obvious information when selling things is not good. I know i can go and look it up, but as a seller don't you want potential buyers to have all information right there. C'mon that is just few more words.
