Small beef

It would be nice if people filled their profiles out in a bit more detail.

Just adding your country in the locations field would be nice, it helps when you are talking to some one if you know were they are from.

A lot of interculteral filters are employed when communicating on a forum like this.

As an example myself and Niclas on the old forum got in to a argument simply becouse I did not realise he was translating my local UK idiom to Swedish!

Come on it will take no more than a minute of your time to update your profile.

A dyslexic button "yse" "No" button would be nice too:-)

Sorry Viv, but personally I won't post any personal information on this site because of Ivar. I don't want him to know any more information than necessary about me. On the other forum, I posted a link to my email address at hotmail, and he used it to send me threatening, racist emails. Besides, if I want to contact someone, I would PM them, and then strike up a conversation that way. It's just as easy.

Point taken and I fully understand your concerns, I would just say again though that it was the country location I was hoping people would update.

I am very sorry that you had your personal email abused, I think we have tolerated far too much in the past and now it is time for positive action regarding this type of thing.

Principal Skinner already has his country up anyway. He even mentioned his province too (although its not like he lives in PEI).
