[CompInaBox-discuss] creating user accounts

[Stephen G. <gi...@st...>]

I don't mind the "you need to create an account" aspect.  I suspect
that most competitors are repeat visitors and so won't mind creating
an account.  You might even be able to design the pages so the account
creation doesn't require an extra page.

You collect their email address; why not use that as the name of their
account?

Using a funny character to distinguish auto-generated accounts seems
kludgey.  Why not just add an attribute "needs new password".  You
might find yourself using that attr again if you implement a "reset my
password and email it to me" feature.
