Yes, phil is correct.
I think this is a little step that would not cost a lot. It would not
bother a human too much and add a layer of protection.
During registration, display a little image, with an number in it
(something simple, number 1 to 9 randomly), and ask the user to enter
this number in an empty field.
You'd want more than one number, because a bot could guess it right
one out of 10 times, and it would be trivial to run the bot
multiple times until it succeeds.
