I think we already have a consensus (general agreement). We're at a point now where we're starting to lose people (particularly those who are most active) from the board because of the spam and the current solution is not working. The poll was clear, and the consensus from all but one member posting to the discussion board has been in favor of requiring registration. We can get mired in the bureaucratic process but there's a point where the support is so overwhelmingly high that we just need to do it. We can solve the problem right now. We just need you to give us the thumbs up. The alternative is to keep it in its current open state, deal with the SPAM on a piece by piece basis, and ban entire continents from even seeing the board much less posting to it. Lets just make it happen and fix the problem! Please!
