I run a site which provides an API for real-time testing of spam vs. ok submissions for blog comments, forum posts, and contact-forms.
I handle about 250,000 submissions a day.
Contact-forms can easily be overwhelmed with spam, it's just a matter of how lucky you are, or not.
- larrys 12y ago"it's just a matter of how lucky you are, or not" Any factors that you have been able to determine that quantifies why someone is lucky or not?
- stevekemp 12y agoI suspect the submission of spam correlates to your traffic, more than anything else. I have some sites with a "contact me" form which get hammered, and others that get one or two hits a month. (Adding simple captchas, or hidden fields, etc, can work at the low end. The ones that get hammered though have bots/people that deal with that.)
