Could we add a rule requiring location be posted? (beehaw.org)

I have gone back and forth with if I like that this community is for politics anywhere.

Ultimately, as an American, I've been liking it - it gives me perspective on other countries and shows how possible solutions might succeed or fail. Also, Count Binhead.

Anyways, it'd be nice if posts contextualize. Requiring at a minimum country. If we're talking about ~~The Zodiac Killer~~ Ted Cruz, then it should be "Texas, USA Politician Flies to Cancun to avoid constituency"

We don't have the ability to have flair here nor any other type of labeling.

Could it be recommended that users include location in their post title then?

A lot of regional news sites don't make clear where the news is happening in their headlines, or even articles, because they're a regional site that serve a region. Those sites then are even more unclear where theyre talking about when they use a generic nickname like "Tristate" or "Windy City" or whatever to name their news source.

I, sincerely, doubt any moderator or administrator would be willing to do this.
