Research requests- how to tell if they've paid MN?

[7238SM]

Is there a way to tell whether someone who is posting a request to complete a research questionnaire has paid MN to do so? I've sometimes reported research posts, to ask MNHQ if they have paid, but maybe I'm missing something that clearly indicates if they have or not?

Their thread will be posted in the Classified topic. Which covers:

House swaps
Media requests
Non-member requests
Petitions and activism

If they have posted anywhere else, chances are they are just chancing their arm and haven't paid.

Hi OP

As above (thanks so much BIWI), research requests will be in specific topics dedicated to research. The user would be prompted to make a payment prior to submitting a post. If you have any concerns though, just report the thread to us and we can clarify any concerns.

Thanks both, so would they ONLY be within these topics then?
