 It's clear that the spammers are solving our recaptchas.

 We could ponder switching to some different captcha mechanism, but I doubt
 there are great ones out there that are usable yet also not broken by
 spammers.

 Given the success of our cypherpunks option, I bet we'd get a lot of
 mileage out of a "say the magic word" step in making an account -- and the
 magic word, like the cypherpunks option, can be in plain view for a user
 who bothers to look.

 I'm not sure if this will want a new trac plugin or what though.
