...so that I could make this thread. I understand protecting the forums from spammers, but as someone who has put significant sums of money into the road, being asked to go through what is effectively an hour long tedious 50 post verification process is pretty unreasonable. I'm not sure how to fix this, but perhaps something could be implemented where buyer/seller stats are linked to forum accounts?

paperdragon you have addressed three different issues from what I see in one topic, no problem
1. I believe at some point all of us have endured captcha hell when we're helpless. I believe a solution to that is close the browser(or you don't really have to) and to use New Identity on TOR. This should fix that problem.
2. The post post process, this is probably open to opinion but I am not an expert, however from my perspective its to get the newbies familiar with the forum, to maybe go through the forum threads and topics and see what their inputs are on certain subjects. As you probably would have noticed there are of newbies who make an account today and want to start selling today, without basic research and what not. Anyone please free to add to this point.
3. Maybe certain sellers don't want to be associated with forum name because they feel it might jeopardize their safety or they might give something away, or what not, I don't really know but it doesn't really bother me if my accounts were linked. I have also seen a lot of compromised, maybe its an SR security measure to purposely not link them, thus both accounts are not compromised. Again also open to opinions...
