For sales yes
Before you post an advert or a response to an advert on the BBS, please type the name of your nearest or postal town into your User Profile.
To do this, first, click on 'Settings' at the top right of the screen then, click on 'Edit Profile' on the list down the left hand side of your screen, and into the space provided, type the name of your town into 'Nearest town (not your county)'. Hit 'Save Changes'' at the bottom of the page and you're done.
This rule is to help protect BBS members from fraudsters and from former members who have been banned for trading irregularities, and who try to get back onto the BBS under a new identity. Knowing their location makes it easier for the mods to identify them so that they can be banned from the BBS.
Aberdeenshire is not a town and I don't post sales Ads often and when I do I change my location back to my local town .
I change it to aberdeenshire for the similar reason you changed your username Privacy
Let's stick to the topic in hand lads, nets and where someone resides doesn't come into this.
Carry on
We are not, just you are arguing for the bureaucracy mess the GM is in, as if the law is sensible...which it isn't.
And your alternative suggestions smack of a KFC Urban Conservationist with no clue to the practicality of it all.
Plus to add insult you wouldn't allow Mr Allotment Man his pigeon pie unless he has done it as part of pest control, sent off for a license, proved he has tried other means, and recoded it all. And then suggesting he covers his allotment in plastic netting.
Is it me or is that daft?
No it is and has been the law. Nothing has changed. He wasn't allowed to off pigeons for pie or pest control over a cabbage patch. The GL was for serious damage.
Again, jumping up and down crying wahh it's not fair doesn't change that what you seem to consider right hasn't been legal for a long time. Just because people thought it was, just because you think it should be, doesn't change it one single jot.
All it does is reinforce the idea that there were people out there before this shooting things outside of the GL. If you want to give those you oppose more ammunition then carry on. You are (almost) single handedly backing up WJ's point.
