Experiencing Automated Form SPAM Submissions? Try the Honeypot Method to counter it.
Purpose: Prevents bots from submitting Forms (fewer junk submissions).
Benefit: It will be seamless to the User Experience (submitters will not have to fill out any extra fields).
Caveat: This only prevents bots that fill out every field in a Form.
Method:
1) Include a text field in your Form (hide it using css instead of through the native form property - use "display:none").
2) Name the field something normally seen in forms that is not required for your current form (example: "Address 3").
3) Form Bots fill out every field they see in the code (if "Address 3" is submitted with a value then you know it's a bot).
