Troutco, thanks for reading and commenting on my post. Amanda, Sharon and Sharon brought up great points about the training that volunteers who serve at location sensitive sites go through. However, there is still the possibility of someone creating a Spot for a sensitive location. The folks at Gowalla are willing to remove locations that have been added to their database when people ask on their feedback community at http://feedback.gowalla.com/gowalla. Although this seems to have been limited to people creating a Spot for their homes, I'm sure that if someone asks for a location-sensitive Spot to be removed that it would be.

Thanks again for reading.
