What? No, that's not an option IMHO. We don't want to force people to
download an IRC client and join IRC just to register on the forums. This in
non-standard, and a pain. We might as well just close down registrations,
cause nobody will bother to register.

Modern forums use external services to detect and remove spam, such as
mollom, akismet, defensio and typepad. We should do the same, instead of
losing legitimate users.

Regards
