is this really that big of a problem though?
i mean, does your posting rely so heavily on simply fulfilling requests that you're unable to make any relevant comments in the other areas of the forum until you've reached 20 posts? 20 isn't even close to being a completely unobtainable number, just dealing with the limit seems like a much more acceptable limit than trying to figure out how to let people post in the requests board without allowing them to make threads there
and there's the problem of people (because you know they will) posting in others' threads just to say something along the lines of "hey this is a good request allow me to make one myself and attempt to completely derail this thread" or "hey i cant make a new thread here so im just going to take a huge shit on this one and make my request here"
yeah, you can warn/ban them but it's infinitely simpler to just keep everything the way it is
