One clever idea I ran into was to rename your email and name fields but still create hidden fields called email and name. This way anybody who fills out the field called "email" is a bot and you can take the appropriate response. It's non intrusive for the user as they don't really care what the fields are named. I have often thought of dynamically naming your fields with guids or something and keeping the field names in flash or in a session variable. This would also prevent double submits. I haven't seen this done anywhere but it seems doable and a simple solution to spam as the spammer has no idea of what the fields are to be called. You can combine this with the above to throw in a couple of bogus fields in there and reject any submission with the bogus fields filled in. Just some ideas if you have time to fool around. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "WellRailed" group.
