Community rule 3 states "do not include personal information or ask others for personal information in messages. This can include names, addresses, emails or phone numbers"
I think this needs clarification. Sometimes towns and cities are deleted by the Moderators.
I can understand that giving your actual address down to a locality whereby you could be identified is inadvisable. But sometimes it is necessary to name your county or town to explain things.
For example someone lives in a town and wants to know what services are available. Editing out the town makes a mockery of the request.
Or someone recently who had moved from a named town to a very small village and their post was about the difficulties of one compared to the other. The village might be too specific an address, but naming the town where they used to live???? The text is now punctuated by having every geographical reference edited out - so the posting makes no sense.
If it is really necessary to exclude names of towns, counties etc SAY SO PLEASE in Rule 3, but don't please cite the rules as a reason for exclusions no-one could reasonably anticipate.
Similarly the advice recently meted out to someone about profile names is not clearly stated in the rules.
