While most of the help pages seem to be about helping them make money (yeah ok it's a business) there's new pages appearing quite often and some are helpful to punters. Maybe worth a thread?
For instance:
You could be forgiven for thinking that setting a seatch to "exclude Romanians" might just exclude Romanians ...
... but it works by
only returning non-Romanians
from those profiles that have specified, or have been required to specify, their nationality. ...
So if you are getting too few search results the you maybe need to exclude Romanians on a one-by-one basis.
Searching on Nationality - Advice for Seeking Services
It's been a long time coming and finally it is here. You can now search for (including or excluding) members of a particular nationality. Sounds simple but not all members have provided their nationality so please take the following into consideration when reviewing your search results:
When looking for a specific nationality, anyone who has not specified their nationality will be excluded from your search results. This could mean that thousands of bona fide service providers are not shown.
When excluding a specific nationality from your search, only members with a nationality will be searched, then those with the selected nationality will be excluded. In other words, all members without a nationality or with the selected nationality will be excluded. Again, this could mean that thousands of bona fide service providers (that are not of your excluded nationality) are not shown.
Based on the above two scenarios, using this filter without understanding it's impact could seriously restrict the results shown to you.
There is no requirement for every member to provide their nationality, but if they have, you can be reasonably sure that ID has been received and validated confirming their home country.
Understand that when specifying a nationality, those who have chosen not to supply it or who may not have been required to supply it, will be excluded from your search results. This does necessarily mean that they are of a nationality you are trying to exclude.
