Another way to help against sp@m
« on: April 25, 2012, 08:31:44 am »
I read this article talking about using hidden fields to cut down on sp@m bot submissions. Just thought I'd mention it since there are definitely bots that can beat the rekaptcha filter. I talked with a developer using another CMS platform and they said using hidden fields cut down automated junk submissions by 95%. Any thoughts?

Oh, here's the article link:

Good idea! We'll have to add more tools to fight spam. This could be an option.
