Captcha type solution just using LiveCode?
I haven't, but I used a regular form with two radio buttons. At first it
said:
Please show us you are human:
x I am a human
x I'm a robot
Within 24 hours I received spam from a bot. So I changed it to:
Please choose the correct answer:
x I am a mindless automaton
x I think, therefore I am
And in the last several years I haven't had a single bot find the form.
The key, I believe, is to avoid any use of bot keywords like "human",
"person", "robot", "bot" or anything else similar. The above looks like
an unimportant picklist and they either ignore it or can't parse it.
A friend copied my form to his website and last I heard he hasn't had a
bot hit yet either.
