Are the majority of people requiring user accounts in order to submit sites?
I am...and with a portal type site where members can do a bunch of things, it is nice have a centralized login process (one login per user to access all interactive options)...also in terms of quality control/assurance, logins are very useful to ensure that records are edited by appropriate users.

Actually, there is another thread in the Links 2.0 Customization Forum that discusses auto-submission...You can write a LWP script that can auto-submit and by-pass the db_referer....

That is why adding something like random codes before submitting or having all users manually login is much better...

I've used logins both in Links 2.0 and LINKS SQL and I've never been spammed (*knock on wood*).
