Search parameters
 
Don't suppose there is a way to keep people from putting their travel plans in every single post?

If Mr. X traveling from Country Y to Country Z puts that in a signature, every single search for "Country Y" will come up with that person's irrelevent posts (i.e. topics about countries between Y and Z).

I agree it's annoying, but no, there's no way to prevent them - other than a gently reminder of WHY it's a bad idea. What's worse is when they put EVERY country they're intending to visit - and finding the thread only tells you Joe is going to x. So what.

So to all - Keep it clean (simple) and think about people - including yourself - trying to find stuff about a place and having to wade through hundreds of irrelevant links!

Perhaps you can modify your serach engine so it ignores everything in a post below the signature line?

Salut from Southern France, the bikers' paradise,

Nice idea Peter, but that's WAY past our capabilities! It's a great, and very configurable, search script - but not that good.
