Default Re: Should location be mandatory in user profile when signing up?

I think there should be a "don't care" voting option. If it's important to the context of the discussion and the person hasn't already disclosed their location, then how hard is it to ask them? If they don't respond, clearly they don't want you to know and it's time for all parties to move on.

But I also don't think it should be mandatory as, as has been pointed out, people will just use a false location which then means we'll either be providing advice for the wrong location or we'll be asking the question again anyway.
