Everyone keeps bringing this up but unless you have something of monetary value on the other end, this won't happen. ReCaptcha and a few if statements has stopped all contact us form spam on our site. Same for other sites I help to manage, no one is paying 50 cents per a thousand contact us spam messages.
- ficklepickle 7y agoI found all my contact form spam was being sent superhumanly fast. Well under 10 seconds from initial page load. A user can't make it to the form and type a meaningful message that fast. Adding a short timeout eliminated my contact form spam. I also only allow JSON on the back end, so they must execute JS to even have a shot. This has allowed me to avoid blocking TOR exit nodes... So far anyway.
