then how does wikipedia manage it? what i do is, first you enter email id and userid, then you are mailed a link where you can add password and register. So far, in six months, only one spammer has got in. What you are giving is not a reason - it is an excuse.
We had atleast half a dozen such registrations from viagra salesmen within a very short span. Vivek used to promptly clean it regularly, but it started becoming too much of a work. As i said, if some members can regulary just browse through the wiki then we wouldnt need such strict registration requirements.
