it's not that at all, unfortunately we have recently had a massive influx of scammers and spammers joining to rip off genuine members, so we have had to change approval process for new accounts. I am not going to go into the ins and outs of it (as we don't need these scum bags understanding how to circumvent our latest attempts to bamboozle them) but if you hang around and contribute you will have access to things.
Sorry that's just how it is, if you do decide to hang around you will understand it's not something that has been done lightly.

Good call. The Buy and Sell section of this site is based around a huge amount of trust amongst member. I for one would never like to see that compromised.
