The last year we have changed the registration fields for new members when joining WhalerCentral.
We made the location a *required field.
This is not mandatory at signup for many reasons, but based on the honor system and is marked as *required.
I can understand that many of you that might be working for the C.I.A don't want to put your location in. For you C.I.A agents, that's OK...
See this thread:

For those of you members that don't have the bare minimum of the state you reside in listed in your profile, please take the time to "Edit" your profile and enter your location.
Please no smart locations like the ones below as they will be deleted.
1. Home
2. Where my feet touch the ground
3. Outer Space
4. Where my bills are sent
5. Zip codes are not good enough as I'm not going to waste my time looking them up for 17,000 members...
6. I work for the C.I.A and would have to eliminate you if I told you my location...
7. etc., etc., etc......
Your state will do just fine.
City and state would be the best
United States is not acceptable nor is USA, North America, etc....
It's nice to know what State, or City and State, the person is from that you are talking with.
Thanks for your co-operation.
PS..
Canada should include the province
UK should put in England, Wales, or Scotland instead of UK.
France is OK
Italy is OK
Greece is OK
etc...

This post was actually dated 9-19-2010 so it has been several years that we have asked members to put their location in.
Thanks for everyone's help with this.
