That's more of a Settlement Association response. Sorry.

In this thread new stations should be associated through something specifically related to the station, as opposed to the general area.

I am glad to see that you have pointed this matter out, as the Settlement Association quiz was originally set up to cater for the problems that were prevalent at that particular time.

Anyone accessing these quizzes should always look at the very first posting, where the rules governing that particular quiz will be found.
