3) I can see why some users *might* prefer it but in my own opinion this
would be best used to allow "Guests" to post (in fact I think it would be
damn handy for one-off posters). Regular users of a forum would probably
prefer to have a login and cookie it.

I would be happy if email auth w/captcha is available as as option for
non-frequent user . I rarely see a need to make multiple post on
discussion forums within an hour. I can live with captcha if I don't
have to create accounts for the 20+ forums that I ask questions on :)
