Point is, yes, I agree. Yet, the main problem is that people are unwilling to read rules, no matter how hard you try to make those rules highly visible. (Since I think that these rules do mention the facts about requests bein unavailing if you are a random nobody to everyone.)

Arguably yes,
but a majority of requesters pop in and make the first thing they do their request,

and then are told they need 20 posts,
and then start spamming, as usually a locked thread is given an explanation as to why in the lock.


But,

if they already start by spamming,
they:

A. Already saw the rule and are grabbing the 20 posts

B. Are just a spammer, who already will be considered as one, despite them possibly knowing they aren't one or aren't reading the rules to begin with.
They'll just be told they're a spammer by a mod, user or admin.
