You can introduce a point system, where you gain points for doing non-spambot things. If you have enough points at your account and the user has been registered for long enough you may start editing the wiki and other things. It could be something stupid like taking a introductionary test and fill in some answers about how to interact with the LibO community, writing a sample bug report and answering a dummy question in the ask-department and perhaps sending a bump message to a robot in a irc-chatroom. /Oskar
