If you don't have an account, just leave the password field blank.
Speaking from my perspective as a moderator elsewhere, and based on all that I've heard, the staff needs a warning system. Someone does something, they warn that person. First is verbal warning, then they can allot points to those people. When those people reach a specific amount of points, they get a detriment, such as being unable to post, or create a topic, be banned for a short while. Let's say 100 points is the maximum, and the maximum equals a permanent ban.
Another feature would be for normal members. A 'report' button of sorts so that if someone is breaking the rules, or is doing something that is impacting a member negatively, the member can click report and have a staff member deal with it.
You could also set it to where members can block/unblock PMs so that they won't be used again, or allow them to delete it. This can save time the Staff could use elsewhere and prevent frustration. (I know full well how annoying it was when Skorn spammed my PM and Scratcher, being the awesome guy he is, helped me in removing them.)
Another thing, completely optional, is a 'reputation' system where someone can add or subtract a reputation point from a person's post to indicate that they liked it or found it helpful. The total of a person's reputation would be shown on their profile to give people an indication of how well that person is respected on the forum.
That's all the ideas I have for now, and those ideas are from the forum I moderate or seem to me like common sense. If I have any other ideas, I'll share them.
