Spam Bot Blocker

Spam Bot Blocker

By Shawn Olson

Posted on November 19th, 2005

This week I've added what I hope is the last feature essential to stopping spammers from sending me or any member emails. I added a security feature to the mail and guestbook pages of the site that forces visitors to enter the text from a graphic into a text field. This "turing" system may seem like a pain for real users, but it is effective in proving that a post is from an actual human being rather than an automated spam bot.
