I agree with applewood on the downsides of referral concept. And wish the idea of mailing in proof of your not-bot status didn't have to be a joke, but it probably is. Surely hubski doesn’t have to be the inventor of this wheel; what do other little sites do to combat bot invasions? Is there anything pleb users like me can do to help?

Captcha, during account creation is what comes to mind. Although, I forget if that's in our own system.
