Thanks.
Pretty much the only two I'm aware of.
The main zoo thread is moderated as its the 'official' trading thread, most active, more for relatively smaller trades and more common for newbies as well as scammers. So a set of rules, developed over time, are in place, to protect newbies and users, as well as to ensure the site doesn't get a bad name as a easy target for scammers, although mainly to protect fellow members. From what I understand, most if not all, mods are volunteers and the ones in the zoo transfer thread are, especially, veterans in doing research on suspicious posts.
HSNL, for the most part is a smaller, close-knit community, with mostly everyone knowing everyone or have friends who knows someone, so for most part people are familiar with SNs. But also, since getting action is an issue for HSNL players, some may want to keep their SNs private although I'd think its more of the first reason than this or more likely a combination of the two.
People there are expected to be veteran traders (they better be when dealing with larger sums) and as such, the thread doesn't require moderation as people either know and trust the person they're trading with or are equipped with the knowledge required to successfully trade large sums of money. Also, some might want to keep SNs private for other reasons.
If someone does come out of nowhere and posts in both threads, then mods will crosspost in both threads to alert people of a suspicious post.
