I just have to respond to this, I hate forums or anything else that
required the use of PASSWORDS!!!  I already have 10 times too many
passwords to remember or keep track of and I want absolutely NO more.
Frankly I wish the entire computer and software industry would flush the
whole idea of passwords down the loo and come up with something else
entirely.


How else would one prevent bots from joining the lists and spamming them
? If you want an example, of how bad it has become, join a usenet
newsgroup and see how much crud gets posted on it.

How else would one provide a given user a modicum of security and
identification ?

I find that it sometimes does not require much. I had problems with spammers and bots on my sites till I added a captcha where you had to spell words backwards. Spam is now down to a very small trickle and I can now literally monitor new signups and to a quick check to see if they are listed spam logins.

Cheers
