I like how reddit doesn’t require an e-mailadres to register.

Will this comment work without providing my name, email and website?

I don’t think I’ve ever come across another news/blog type of site that had a had a registration form as invasive as Tech Republic’s.

And it’s not only to vote or post a comment that Tech Republic requires registration. Perhaps _that_ could be justified on the grounds of deterring trolling, spam and just reducing the number of inevitable idiotic comments that have to be waded through when searching for signs of intelligent life.

No. Merely trying to _view_ all comments on one page (as opposed to tediously having to view each individual comment on a separate page) triggered a ‘registration is required’ page.
…………….
I also agree w/ a previous post regarding the fields for posting a comment _here_; without actually stating that the name, email and website fields are optional, that will not at all be clear to many people. (and many will not bother posting because of that)

[...] Once you decide that the benefit is worth a visitor’s time you must ask yourself, “What information do I absolutely need?” If you host a health/wellness database you need to collect a bit more information than someone [...]

I’ve got to wonder — why is a password even necessary? Why not ask just for the name and the e-mail address? Isn’t that enough for first time visitors?

I totally agree. Sometimes I would like to leave a comment to a good article, etc, but who has time to register at 100 different sites, creating passwords and user names, blah blah blah. It is ridiculous. So, when I see, “You have to register to leave a comment” I move on.

Great article. Thank you for posting it. I to found you from AWeber and I thank them for giving us your link.

I am now going to read some other posts on this site and take a look around.

I try to think of the Golden Rule when I am working on web forms. And basically it come down to this. If I give the subscriber something of “value” they will give me there email address, something I “value”. Exchange!
