It would be a never ending chore to moderate this.

I don't think people will ignore these posts because naturally, curiosity gets the better of them(with the hope the sellers location is close by)....

As for a never ending chore, hardly IME. I implemented this on my site and as soon as the regulars read the sticky, they remembered to post their location. As for newcomers that did not read the mandatory sticky in the trading forum and fail to post their location, their post would get removed....simple as that. If a user came back to find their post gone, they would get the messege fast.

The buy and sell forums have mods that I can imagine would be well capable of seing this through...as they do on my site....

But as I said before, this needs admin approval and mod discipline to work....

As for altering the forum software to make the location mandatory when posting in the buy and sell forums, this would be the best solution IMO. Even better, making the location a mandatory field upon registering.
