I understand spammers are a problem but this is just lame. Why not use captcha like everybody else? I, and probably a lot of other people, have been reading this forum for a long time without posting anything. Until a yesterday when I wanted to sell some FPGA PCBs breakout boards for BTC and post an ad.

Who could have guessed you should register just to read? I probably set the browser on autoreload or something tonight. What a waste of time.
