Very simple. If we allow WTB posts from new posters, then we also run into the same problem of scalpers contacting said members.
Last spring we had all sorts of issues with scalping; both from people posting and people responding to WTB posts. It got to the point that we had to remove ticket sales all together. This current situation was put on as a trial; and it has worked out pretty well so far.
It may not help out some members; but it does work for most members.
