Here is a suggestion for you.
Why not direct this question to Steve the Moderators.
It is their requirement and has nothing to do with the members exept for protecting us from scammers.
I think the 'open forum' spot check requirement works well as it shows members that sales sections of the forum are being watched.
How else would we know?
If you have nothing to hide wouldn't this reinforce your credibility?
