Yes I do

We tried running the #fedora channel without registration for about a year.

in a nutshell, We had so many spambots that we had to close the channel again.

And how, exactly, is the painfully simple act of registering an IRC nickname, taking all of a grand total of 30 seconds (if you type slowly) as described in a prior e-mail, a barrier?

Get real, Justin. This is no more a barrier than signing the FAS; in fact, it's probably less of one.

Further, there's a reason that unregistered nicks do not get into #fedora, but I don't know what it is exactly. Does anyone have any background on this?
