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

I read the free forum and infrequently buy something, usually from a dealer. Most audio sites I frequent don’t promote services or monetize the interaction. Bad part for some, if you act like a child, you’re out of there!

Get an address at a UPS Store under a fake name, a location with a real physical address, and use Burner phones by the carton. Screw the Man trying to track me 😉.
