    Anti-spam Code

    Hey guys,

    Can anyone help me find a strong antispam code for an online form, I have a page that is really being attached by spammers.

    Thanks

    If you don't mind relying upon a third-party service, reCAPTCHA is the best I've seen.

    Honestly Catcha's are quite annoying and you can just as easily deter spammers without annoying your users by adding an are you human sort of contextual question to your website. Some captcha's are so weird now they're probably easier for bots to read than humans! My 2 cents.

    The cool thing when you want to test a few lines of codes against spammers is that you don’t have to wait too long to see how things goes.
    I’m currently fine tuning a new anti referrer spam that has some very cool features, and since I’ve activated it, 40 hours ago now, it’s already been through 5248 spam attempts. So far, 100% were blocked, there has been no false positive, and my referral log is cleaner than ever.
    The best part is : I’ve basically shrunk things to one test that is enough to block all attempts, and this script will require no (or uber minimalissima) maintenance (no data or IP list or anything to keep up to date)
