Mary: I think a lot of people are just to lazy to fill out their information properly.
Maybe its possible to make the Location field compulsory when signing up?
Nope. Some people just don't want anybody to know where they are. For the people who DO, it's a very simple thing. And I don't think it has anything to do with being "lazy."
I think in today’s world with the serious threat of identity theft many are just reluctant to divulge too much information on the web. Although identity theft may be of little concern with the information given on this site, it is always in the back of their mind. Also, people have a great deal of anonymity by hiding behind the computer screen when involved in heated debates, “trolling” or even spewing out hateful opinions. Of course that happens very little on this forum, but many forums are not so lucky. Of the few forums that I visit, this has to be one of the best with many people only willing to do what they can to help out a fellow cat sailor. Just my $0.02 worth.
