How is registering an email address and username going to result in ID theft or political censorship?!
E-mail addresses can be hacked and tracked. Ever heard of the NSA?
www.eff.org has more info.

Chinese spies and their lackeys have also tried to infiltrate this site and to get hold of user private details - for purposes of identity theft or for other reasons of political censorship
How is registering an email address and username going to result in ID theft or political censorship?! How ridiculous! At present the site has a function for ANYONE to see emails so long as they can input a 3 digit anti-bot key. If you are happy to supply your email for that, then there should be no worry about supplying one to register a username.
But then I guess that would put a stop to all of the alts that you use on here to have validate yourself, so I can understand why you'd be against a way of regulating who posts what!
Again, how on earth could this be a result of registering a username and an email address?If the board had registered users, it may also need to maintain a database which easily can be hacked by someone from China. This would put all critical comments and reports about crap "schools" in China at risk with unknown consequences for the security of Westerners working and living in China
Utter, utter nonsense! Paranoia of the highest order!
