I always think that fighting automated spam is a cat-and-mouse game, but I guess most spammers are still remaining unsophisticated and will still get defeated by simply using CSS to hide the a honeypot form field. Wow.
Is it just because CSS/JS consume too much CPU and they want their spamming to run as fast as possible and don't care if they get a bunch of false negatives?
- grishka 3y agoFrom how I subjectively see it, 5% of effort gets rid of 90% of spam. Of course, this would never catch any targeted attacks, but in the grand scheme of things, those are exceedingly rare. In other words, good luck keeping out the remaining 10% without significantly degrading the experience for the innocent majority of your users.
