Where is the sign up button?

strypey:

But a low, one-off fee, to join this forum, would indeed deter spammers, and trolls

In essence I agree with this. However, to speak in a forum, if one has to pay, even if say 1€/$/GBP/INR takes away the essence of free speech. We are grateful for any donation, but asking users to pay to signup and all, is not right. Moreover, not everyone can pay and not everyone has international cards.

I will check the right to speak for any new users, or say idle users to find what can be done to minimize spam. Any help in this part is appreciated, by checking the discourse forums, or user guides.
