I started to get bot spam. So I introduced the non-displayed honeypot field that the bots would complete. This worked great at first, but the bots seemed to learn the trick and started leaving it empty. So the spam returned.
After a little research, I decided that I liked those questions that humans can easily answer, but bots cannot. Only problem with the questions is that there can be several 'right' answers eg. zero, 0, none, nil, nothing -- might all be acceptable answers. Also the questions needed to be selected at random. So my solution needed to be not only simple but flexible too. Anyhow I wrote that code and I have not been troubled by spam since. If anyone is interested in this idea I will extract the code from my app and post it. Regards, D -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
