A day or two ago we had a person logged into chat with the name "(brooks)". Since we can not use /nick to change the displayed name it was not that. The characters ( and ) are not allowed in names.
She/he/it did not post anything.
Shortly after that a user named katz logged on but her name showed up as "*katz*". That was stranged too but she joined chat and seemed to be ok.

Which would be a valid argument, however you can use a proxy mail server (like mailinator.com) if you want, and an anonymizer to hide your IP address if you want. Browsing of the forums requires no registration, and to have no account control for a forum of this size would be impossible. The spam flood if it were completly open would render it useless inside a few weeks.
