That should suffice and shouldn't be difficult to implement.
It would be easy to implement, however, the staff has their reasons for not doing so.
Pure speculation here, and I do not speak as a staff member or someone affiliated with them, but the reason for this appears to come down to revenue: logging into the forum causes ad impressions for the ads placed on the forum, which makes money for x10. The ads in cPanel do obviously make money too, but not as much as the forum ones do: if a cPanel login was the requirement, the user would log in and log out again; with the forum, there's a chance that the user might see something interesting and go look at it too, resulting in more ad impressions.
(Watch as this post now gets deleted for having unearthed x10's crazy money-making schemes
But seriously, what's with everyone complaining about it? They're offering an awesome service for free; they've got to have
some way of at least breaking even.)
