Being the cynic that I am, I do have reservations about people using this new change to create 100's of accounts to launch swarms of spam upon us. I don't trust most people, especially when there is a chance to make money involved.

I have the same but I think that it requires a fair bit of RCs (whatever they are) to get them 'free' which means that not everyone is going to have access to hundreds of them. But, who knows :D
