If you don't have an account, just leave the password field blank.
The problem is people are generally conditioned to tie their self-worth with a silly ranking, be it grades in school, post counts, or the old DN point systems. If I could think of a way to create a purposefully silly system that in no way could be taken seriously, I'd contemplate creating it. Until then, its just too much trouble trying to mess with battling egos.
