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

The system is broken.

@dekay : I have been trying to get back on here for several days. I contacted support a few times. No response. So I went back to the verification page and added my street address. Well that worked! Five minutes ago I added that cynical post above and it worked! Now let's see if I can add another post.

Posting on Audiogon - more fun than a barrel of monkeys!

Verification will keep the bad actors and bots away. Previously they have been getting onto this forum - "Buy counterfeit money online" ...

Oh boy! Jason Bourne strikes again

 

I was asked and when I tried to comply, I was blocked. Twice. Third time lucky?

I did it but I disagree with the policy. If I want to sell something, yes. But just to post? 
 

Will be interesting to see what kind of junk mail I start receiving.
