There is a time allotment necessary for the forum membership to get to know a new member to the forum so the membership can later decipher if a specific individual who is seeking service or sales is some one to be trusted or not.
Scammers don't usually stick around to make an effort to meet certain criteria before gaining access to other ppl's money or time.
It's really not a lot to ask, nor does it guarantee safe commerce within the forum for everyone, but it is an effort to help build a better community.
