If someone registers an account just to request a no-collateral loan then he's not contributing to the forum, he's detracting from it.  If he has collateral, then he can afford to buy a copper membership and post a request for a collateralized loan, or send a specific lender a PM requesting a collateralized loan.  Or, god forbid, he can create an account to actually read, ask questions, learn, and contribute, which may cause him to earn a merit or two.  Then ask for a loan if needed.  
  • Borrowers
    • Should be restricted with some 'not too hard' conditions to be posted in Lending board, I agree with you.
    • Like those Rules for Serious Discussion and Ivory Tower]
    • Quote
      - You must be at least a Jr Member to post in Serious Discussion, and a Full Member to post in Ivory Tower.
  • Lenders
    • Should not be restricted, even they are newbies
but then how would the forum would know who to restrict at the get-go? do newbies need to be restricted as a default and would only be exempted once someone, a mod or a staff verified that the newbie was in that board to actually post a lending thread?
