Sounds like a very userfriendly option, but it's a security risk as well...
Will consider it.

maybe doing it the verli style would be better, allow to reg without password and user can set the pass on first login, after that user gets his/hers proper profile rights?

Yeah is possible.

Two options to make it a bit more secure:
- a timelimit for setting pass, for example if the user hasn't joined within 24 hours, account will be deleted. To prevent accounts without password remaining open for anyone to join.
- binding a first connection to an IP

Imho binding IP in this case would cause lots of problems to users. Especially if they don't know much about DC yet, for higher profiles it would work ok. Some ISPs are rotating IPs a lot, maybe profile can be bind to something else that is more stable like CID etc?

Hello, in my opinion it is safer as it is now ... I do not think it would be safe to implement or change the system ... better not to risk short ...
For those unfamiliar user would definitely help a great many other problems but I would say no ...
In my opinion, the game is not worth the words: D or not ? xD

Also there can be a setting in !set so hubowner can decide if registering users is happening with or without passwords.
