In addition, looks like the gender extra field may stop spam bots.

This reminds me of one question, what seems more consistent and overall better to you: "Czechia" or "Czech Republic"?![]()

"No one involved in computers would ever say that a certain amount of memory is enough for all time? I keep bumping into that silly quotation attributed to me that says 640K of memory is enough.

I entered "Earth" in "Location" field. If you,encode, want to find out my location, you can check my IP address.![]()
I hope you use proxy...
Anyway, thanks God you're not an alien...
OK, the Location will not be required field - since too many users specify something like - the Earth, Zhelezyaka planet, "1", etc. I would like that users will correctly fill the information fields, however...![]()
Truly speaking I'm little bit dissappointed with your decision to introduce the required gender field. Not that I'm trying to hide it but its somehow against the right of personal liberty. Maybe m^2 is right and you should add the "No matter" option to gender field. Furthermore lack of knowledge of gender was some kind of "factor of intrigueness" IMHO![]()
Nothing else on this forum breaks personal liberty less than gender field. Are there any women at all (not counting spam accounts etc.)?
EDIT: There's one such account with 1 post and it looks more or less like spam to me.

The bigger forum - the bigger restrictions. It's something like with guest posting. It's good but in this case forum will be destroyed by the spam bots. That's why I FORCED to add registration, email confirmation, etc. etc. At the same time the data compression authors are not completely anonymous - the world should know the heroes!![]()
I'm agree here with you and in such light your idea about some question as additional registration step looks quite attractive BUT...
You don't take into consideration their possible wish to be completely anonymous.
Anyway, its your forum after all![]()
They are! Only Gender field is required, possibly, it will not be required in future, just as an option. Anyone able to choose a funny nickname like "Makaka" and go ahead... Gender, ... well 100% of active users are males. Just try to explain to a girl something about the data compression... And see what will happen...
