Why is Audiogon insisting on a verified physical address in order to post?

Quick question

I just had to enter a verified address into my profile in order to continue posting here.

Does anyone know why that took place? I don't really love posting my physical address on user groups like this.

Did anyone else have to do this?
Thanks
