- 95_JL_OK 6y agoSome can, Selenium or other browser automation is sometimes used in bots. Really, any headless browser can be paired up with some automated QA toolkit and turned into a rather effective bot. All that has to happen is for the bot to load the page in headless mode, then issue the keystroke events to the specified elements.

For me a hidden input with some math solved by Javascript got rid of 10 spam contact requests per day to actually 0. However of course, the larger a page gets the more dedicated the bots get. But for the plain porn/russian spam it helped.
