This annoying word thingy is called CAPTCHA which means:
Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart. Yeah B)

Anyway, I think it's pretty useful, it IS a little annoying for us, the pure peaceful members, but it sure helps to prevent spam problems.. well.. robotic ones. But that's better than nothing, isn't it?

I just don't understand how does spam invade such small community as ours..

Cheers
