Okay, one last post. :)

I was not referring to how hard it would be to automate the server-side 
part of this function. I was saying that it would still be possible, 
perhaps using an OCR program, to automate making new accounts on the 
client side, even when they have to type in what a generated image 
says. Sorry for the confusion.

That's part of the design I'm trying to decide upon now. I know I won't 
have the time to be a full-time moderator of this system, so it seems 
to me that we'll have to program as many reasonable checks as possible 
into the system, and then intervene when we have to.
