              to a developer and maintain a history of those old bugs

Support needs to include the different karma levels which currently exist, in regards to different user levels.

If user not logged in

   captcha, store email address

else if bug.count by email >= 3

   request email auhentication to disable captcha and create username/password  (aka profile)

else

   user is ok, no authentication required as email address is authed.
