 * I want only registered users to comment. Now I get many fake registrations with
   bogus mail addresses. Of course these people won’t get their password, will never
   log in, clutter up the user list, and need to be deleted.
    A good solution would
   be, only to enter new users into the list after they have logged in with their
   password for the first time. As that may be difficult to implement the next best
   thing would be a filter for all new users, who still haven’t logged in 24 hours
   after being sent the password instead of having to pick them out manually.
 * Another thing I miss is a means to enforce a real name rule. This used to be 
   the regular norm on all the networks before AOL opened them up to the great unwashed
   and they became dominated by the plebs instead of the universities. I invite 
   comment by anybody, but not by cowardly anonymous nobodies.

 * Yes, hassling and discomforting the genuine and honest seems to be the solution
   to everything these days. What about the colourblind and those with bad eyesight?
   What about those, who, when needlessly hassled by me, just take me for an inconsiderate
   idiot and won’t bother any more? It is what I myself do often enough.
    I’d say
   keeping everyone in a separate background pending list until first logged in 
   using the password and autopurging that pending list every now and again would
   be the far superiour and vastly more considerate solution. Until that’s implemented
   I’ll have to do it manually and would be grateful for a little help in filtering
   these candidates.

 * It seems I just found a solution: The plugin Register Plus Redux. Unfortunately
   it doesn’t work. After the verification link new users never get sent a password
   and can’t log in. Making them set a password on registration doesn’t work either.
   
   But this must be a glitch, so let’s hope it’ll be rectified soon.
