We can quibble over definitions of nuisance but members have frequently proved themselves just as capable of making nuisance posts.
If you're seriously suggesting that requiring registration is any part of a solution, you may want to read the earlier threads again and tell us what you think has changed.
There are rules. They are enforced.
What is needed is less talk and more action from the very people complaining.

Posts are being removed by the community - when the community uses the moderation features provided!
Every registered member has the ability to vote posts and comments up or down.
It is our way of collectively determining what we want to appear in our community. If a few people rate a post highly it will be promoted to the homepage. If more people rate a post as utter rubbish it will disappear from view. If there's significant disagreement, then whether it stays or goes will depend on the balance of votes from all members.
The community collectively decides what is/isn't appropriate.
I can't help noting that the people making the most noise on this website (and elsewhere) about removing posts have never used the facilities that are provided for this purpose.

Finally, just in the last week there were 62 auditions, productions, new companies and topics added to this website plus a further 152 comments.
With all this great work going on I'm astonished anyone has time to worry about a handful of pathetic posts.
Cheers
