hmm... Here's a little bit of background info about the history of the trade page to see your opinion on this.

The wiki is supposed to be a place to find information and learn more about the game. Quite a lot of people actually refer to the cards pages when they do trades, and for this reason people spammed the article comments with trades and flooded the activity feed, and a lot of the questions posted by others remained unanswered as they could not be seen easily with all this trades adverts around. We tried stopping others from posting under the articles but they continued. So the trade page was created to meet their needs for a place in the wiki to do this and prevent them from spamming the articles.This worked quite well as the number of spams under the articles dropped immediately.

Making it mandatory to log in before posting in the trade page is possible. But because Wikia's policy is that everyone including anons are free to edit the articles and comment under the article pages, we can't make it compulsory for everyone to log in in order to edit the articles and post comments under the article. So if they have to log in in order to post in the trade page, I afriad people will start posting under the articles again since they won't have to log in to post there.

Feel free to let me know what you think n' any good ideas that can help improve the wiki. =)
