Captcha, but not for bots, for humans.
The way I found reddit was from a link in pg's essays. And boy was reddit good when pg first linked to it. So we need a place where the only people are the kind who would voluntarily read something like pg or steve yegge.

That's your captcha for posts and voting permissions.
The problem I see is how to generate the captcha question/reply pairs. Perhaps something wiki style?
