Default Directories that requires registration

One user of LBS Directory Script ask that we should add a feature that allow users to register first before they can add a link, I did not add this feature because I personally do not like directories where you register first before you can add a site, but I need to please customers and not my self.

Please vote in this short poll, do you like directories where you have to register first before you can add a link?

I personally don't like directories that require membership before you can add your links. I usually leave them and find other directories that have easier submission of links...

Well, I tried a few times to register before submitting (thinking it'll be worth it), but only to find out that they require reciprocal for free submissions

No, even i don't like the directories which make me to register before submitting the link. The main motto of these directories is to build there database.

Personally I'd not submit to such a directory.

I don't like them and i don't submit to these directories. They will collect the email address and spam them, i think. Why else should they require registration?
Also, they can generate money from selling the email lists etc

The time taken in registration can be used in submitting in some other directories. So my answer is a big no if the directories do not belong to some niche.
If it is a general directory then the answer is a big NO.
If it belongs to some niche then depends upon the no of options avaliable in that niche. If a number of options available then No to register.
If numbers are few then Yes, why not!
