Would it make it harder for thieves to get get to your valuables? Sure. But would you want to live in a house where you had to key a code every time you went from one room to the other?

I guess if someone did a better job on protecting the front door to begin with...I would not want to have to lock every door in the house. I think this option should be there, and it would be up to the individual forum owner if he wants to place a code on certain or all forums...if a user can take 5 seconds to fill out the tag slot, then they can take 1-2 seconds to answer a simple question before submitting their post. I think some people would respect a forum for taking such action, and they would not mind answering an easy question....unless you are a member of a forum and you love to see 30 porn messages every time you log in to the forum....maybe your into that...but personally, i am sick and tired of seeing 20-40 posts, weather it is a live post or the msg is waiting for a mod to approve...and for those forums that are forced to use mod posting because of spam bots, maybe this option will allow them to set their mod posts to live.....drastic times call for drastic measures, otherwise whats the point of keeping the forum open just for porn and spammers? and if a user/member is really that lazy to answer an easy question in order to keep a forum clean, then more then likely they will not really be a quality user/member anyway...
