I was actually there because i was considering creating an account and wanted to check it out.

Then they pop one of those and lost me for ever!

    Not sure how forced account creation would help with either of those. Both are only problems when they already have accounts.

      Because in order to get an account, you have to pass tests designed to tell if you’re a bot.

        So people that don’t want accounts should be forced to get an account because they might be a bot (that, notably, can’t do anything without an account) so they can be filtered out and denied an account that they didn’t want in the first place? Do you really not see the issue with what you’re saying?

          I don’t know where you got the idea that I have no issue with this. I’m just saying it’s not purely malicious as you said.
