It might be a little bit more of a pain in the a$$ logging in or submitting for things, but would prevent auto software issues.
You could use the same protection as ticket master does. Use the little box with wavy letters in it that a computer couldn't read, in order to pick up open time. It would only take a human a couple extra seconds to comply, but stop bot bidding.
