@Edent Most of it is a data quality problem in deciding on the predicate to filter the data.

Do you wanna check into an untitled tree or water fountain in your local park? (Filter things without a name?)

What about checking into a whole city or country? Or a particular borough? Or an area that doesn't line up with a governmental/administrative area (Soho, say)? That's a thing people did on 4sq to tell friends they are visiting.

How about the M25? (This place is not a place of honour etc.)

@tommorris @Edent also answers aren’t necessarily consistent; you might not have enough data to filter it in the way people want. people might want to check in to Route 66, but not the M25.

@Edent (Incidentally, this isn't a "don't do it", it's more a "I've played around with this in the past and you may will encounter fun weird stuff you didn't expect"—but weird stuff is good, please carry on.)
