This is not a LFG or LFP post, contrary to what the prefix says, I beg your forgiveness for the deception. It is indeed a thread relevant to this section of the forums, though.
The little request is rather simple: could we make it if not a rule a convention, a courtesy, to include in the LFP/LFG post the timezone of play (in case of non-pbp groups, obviously)? I understand the vast majority of the forum users here are from North American continent, understandably, but there are still quite a few users from good ole Europe. It could also be useful for people in the US/Canada as well, since the territory is so vast it encompasses several timezones itself.
The further reasoning is also rather simple: it would make it easier to already make a natural "selection" of applicants/responders to a LFG/LFP post, and cut down on the question "what timezone would this be for" (that I feel is the main discriminant for EU players).
Alternatively to writing it into the post itself, could I propose the devs to add a second required Prefix with at least the continent the thread is for (US/CAN - EU). This could simplify even further the inclusion of the information, and it would hopefully not be a too difficult thing to include.
As an additional note, a further reason behind this is because it's hard to see so many good ideas to get excited about, but then discover you cannot participate due to the timezone of play.
You made a perf cult reasonable request, outlined with logical, intelligent evidence to support your opinion. Had this been posted in someplace like Reddit, people would have simply denied the request but offered no other reason why. Forgive me if insult was taken, it was actually meant to be a joke/observation.
Truth be told, I agree with you. I've missed out on several chances to play because the time zone difference would have meant trying to justify to my wife why I "need" to be up and playing at 2am or whatever. :)

I feel you man :)
And no, no offense perceived or taken, really, I was just puzzled by your reply tbh XD Thanks god in this forum there are intelligent and mature people (reason why I am here and not on Reddit/Tumblr :P) Let's hope someone else with a tad more power can see this request and give an answer to the proposal :P

Thank you all for the attention, game on!

Words can't describe how badly I wanted to simply answer "No", but then I remembered I'm not on Tumblr or Reddit so that answer was unacceptable. :)
