I do not have a strong opinion on the "location" field, but there may be concerns, as @xplorer and @GFIs1 have said, in some jurisdictions. But it seems that some locations that were acceptable in the past are not OK now, and you can't get into the site without it (although it seems that it can be anything you want, which is not a great advance -- @GFIs1 now has "Who cares.")

Bob.

An additional issue with the Location is the adversarial bolded comment stating that if it is not filled in properly with a non-abbreviated City and State/Country that the account will be "immediately and permanently" banned. Is this really how the site wishes to greet paying customers?

My biggest concern over the change is the MANDATORY part.
When I first logged on I receive a blank page saying I can not access the site until I complete this information.
I thought it was a glitch or phishing attempt and tried 3 browsers and my phone app to be sure.

The information should be 'voluntary' at best but not a requirement.

Also, the blocking of access will be seen as a phishing attempt by something on the computer or the internet by some and they will simply not continue further.

I hope the change will be immediately reversed.

Mike @GFIs1 raised some concerns about the fact that you made those "trade frequency" fields compulsory.

I think his concerns are legitimate, i.e. to avoid the risk of falling foul of various privacy regulations around the world, you would be probably better off by making these fields optional.

Strongly Agree

Location has always been a requirement. I do support that. It’s a major deterrent from bad actors that want to deceive and cloke. If I remember correctly in the past Mike was able to filter out some very dishonest posters from comparing there IP addresses. Which are logged by all forum softwares.

For trade frequency? Honestly don’t care. You can trade once a year for rebalancing for all I care. In the end, were you able to squeeze more money out of what you invested, or did you learn from your mistakes and chose the path to keep growing and sharpening your saw.

To be clear I didn't say Location being mandatory was the issue. The issue is that it is presented with draconian unprofessional threats.

I’m a moderator for one of the largest futures groups on Facebook. We use the same threats. You have no idea how large automation an AI has taken over to spam and disrupt communities and their integrity. It’s a battle that happens behind the scenes and it’s exhausting!

I know why Mike is doing what he is doing. I support it.

Good morning everyone.

Message received.

Will make optional but requires some code changes, which requires coffee. Give me some time.

The location text is to catch spammers and it's extremely effective. I'll see if there is a way to show different text to Elite Members.

I'm surprised to hear that AI and spammers respond to threats.

That’s the thing. They don’t. It’s how we catch them. The message fields get left blank.

The change has been reverted.

It should no longer disrupt the flow.

The location field has been unchanged for nearly 15 years. It is anti-spam measure. You guys know me, I am not here to cause you a problem.

I will see if the location text can be made different for Elite Members, since there is no spam threat.

I apologize for this error. @GFIs1 @SMCJB @xplorer @bobwest @AnvilRob @Adapter @DavidHP

Mike
