Yes they do. There are a lot of people that sign up just so they can post asking where to get something, which is against the forums rules. If there was no moderation of first X posts then all these requests would come through and the boards would get flooded by them. This also raises legal issues, if the site is seen letting people ask where to get something, it could/would be assumed that people respond to them. Either through pm or public posting on the boards. This is a problem because it could be some time before the offending request/reply posts are noticed and removed from the board. B setting stict rules of no requesting and enforcing them through moderation so they dont even make it to the boards, those that request never see there posts up and effectively stop requesting. And hense since there is no requests, there is very little chance of somebody else slipping up and posting information that may cause legal issues for the site.
Even one posting of a specific newsgroup, ftp, irc channel, website, etc in which illegal meterials and the such can be obtained could result in the site being shut down.
