:In that case, everyone should share one account, namely Anonymous. What's the point of requiring registration then? [[User:Pomte|Pomte]] 00:45, 17 February 2007 (PST)
::I think the only reason to require registration is as a spam protection measure. Compulsory registration raises the barrier to entry for prospective editors. A shared, anonymous account makes editing more accessible, and it can be dealt with if spam or vandalism becomes a problem. For me, the biggest benefit is not having to remember ''another'' username and password. —[[User:Nothing|Nothing]] 03:27, 18 February 2007 (PST)
