SPAM

Stop SPAM in your Drupal site by being slow.

In this article on SPAM control, we created a tasty honeytrap for our SPAMbot. This trap actually catches about 98% of the SPAM attempts at my site, but we can do better.

The other article used the fact that SPAMbots fill all form elements, even those that are invisible to people. Now we're using the fact that they do it too fast. A person needs time to write on the form. A bot doesn't, unless deliverately the coder introduces in the SPAMbot the ability to wait.

If you can see me, you're not human

The concept is quite simple. SPAMbots browse the Internet like mad searching for forms to fill with their crap about enlarging things and meds for your little soldier friend not getting hard enough and all that. OK, this is the game, they want forms to fill, we'll give them some.
