Be required to choose "B&M", "online", or "both" when creating a new deal thread?

I think that would be a lot more pertinent than the mandatory category choice you must make. It would be much more convenient, because I don't like seeing a thread touting "$X.XX for X at Staples!" only to find out they mean Staples.com, which I hate shopping from (but love the B&M stores). Just a suggestion...I know it's one of the most common replies to any new deal thread to have "Is this B&M or online?"

It would need to allow for uncertainty.

Suppose a poster knows for sure that the deal works online. We can't require him to go find out if it works B&M as well. There may not even be a store near him which he could visit to investigate.

Potential status options:

Online only
B&M only
Both online and B&M
Online yes; B&M unknown
B&M yes; Online unknown

It sounds like a good idea. Would make it easier for me because I don't have Fry's in my area but I could still do deals with their site.
