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

Well, they are back in style.

I am an audiophile spy from China and i already have many identitities...

The way I see it is if this makes it so there are fewers scammers, trolls and bots making this forum so unpleasant, then it is all for a good cause.  Good job to the Audiogon folks for doing this.

jasonbourne71 364 posts 07-28-2023 at 02:56pm  @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.

Oh boy! Jason Bourne strikes again

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