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

Didn't any of you notice that admin answered an entirely different question?  This thread is about physical addresses not virtual ones. What about physical junk mail? That was was the above reply was referring to. 

I verified things the morning it was first required.  I assumed it was to fight bots. I was surprised to not see a thread about it.  I guess the people who wanted to start a thread were the ones having a problem getting on.

I don’t find many problems with admin here. 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!
