If you see any posts with leeched passwords use the report button - leeching is a bannable offence around here. As for the longevity of the passes:
We're currently working on removing password access from all the lurkers and leechers, but it is a process that takes time. So far a few hundred members lost password privileges for lack of participation, with more to follow...
What you can do to help is simple: report leechers, report members that don't participate in the forum and contribute to it. Sitting around and complaining about things that the staff already knows and is working on is not going to help, though...

And oh, the passwords in the Gold section usually survive a lot longer; there's some from January still working.

And there's also some sections you can't see that do require skill to enter, but that's a topic for another day...
