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!

      If this sort of thing only popped up when posting comments, then sure. If it’s to VIEW the damn site, that will only affect actual people.

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

          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?

      Bots can create accounts too. If it indeed was to prevent bots, they would just ask for a captcha test to continue browsing
