One of our clients have reported an increase in spam activity, even with the antispam functionality checked, in the "Security"-settings.

Have you considered implementing other spam-countermeasures, like honeypot or something else?

Thanks in advance :)

Even though CAPTCHA is last year (or previous/before that), many larger sites still use it, which must mean that it must have its merits. For example hotmail and google use it.

I return to this post, since some of our clients still report spam-problems.

The spamming from DW forms increases.

If not captcha, are there any other plans in motion, in regards to reducing spam?

I second that... clients are reporting a lot of spam via misc forms.

Can you somehow share how we can check if our templates are in the way of your different solutions... I fore one have a lot of custom javascript validation on most of my forms!

I can't seem to trigger a spam reaction no matter how many hidden fields I try to fill in... and I certainly can't find the script which should empty the _sys_to_email field...

To reply to my own question... I just found out together with Mikkel Ricky, that by re-using my old templates I fucked it up.

In those old templates I had written the initial <forms method="post"... etc. tag by myself for different validation reasons... Which lead to that there were no Forms.Start tag... This tag outputs all the magic... So by writing <forms tag by yourselvesThis breaks most of the new forms validation effort made by the developers...

Hope this helps anyone just a little bit...

(P.S. feeling stupid right now :-D - But the one default template from DW is missing the Forms.Start tag too... has been reported)

Hi Jacob,

Thank you for sharing this :-)
