So let's build an authorization system, using the standard "put this
number in a noisy image and make the user type it back" technique.
You'll have to register through it, and the system could also require
a PGP message signature every time you submit a score (not for the
computational burden, but because spammers are not likely to bother
with it at that point).  It will be difficult to set up, and that will
be a Good Thing IMO.
