Option to make location non-public?
 

(Even though I realise that by suggesting this everyone will immediately be compelled to check where I come from :p)

I just wondered whether, as with most forums, there should be option that means your location can't be viewed by everybody, only staff/admins - not sure I feel entirely comfortable broadcasting my location even though there are loads of people living in the same place that I do D:

(oh, and by the by, awesome site - so many good old games, so little time! :))

I agree that there's no reason to have to broadcast your location, but there is a way around it. See, noone will check if you live in say, Ulan Bator, when you say you live in San Fransisco. This said, I believe the idea is to create a warmer, closer community.
