What it was before was needing login, then that got broken by accident with the
opacpublic changes, then it was restored. 

The main reason being, it's a spam tool otherwise, so before we can let it be

spammers using it, that isn't using captcha or another discriminatory
technique. Then we are good to go with a syspref.
