DijaWeb Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Hi there - is it possible to add a honeypot in the signup.php form of resellers? If yes how to do it? Despite the security code, I'm still having spamers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DijaWeb Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 Hi there, thank for your reply. HoneyPot can be any hidden field we add to a form. HoneyPot is hidden from users but visible to bots. Since the user (human) has no way to fill this field, it is expected to be empty, but a bot will fill it with some random text to make sure no required fields are left blank. When the form detects that HoneyPot field is filled it stops form submission and logs potential SPAM submission in the logs. Actually I have noticed that despite the "security code" entered in the signup form (signup.php of free web hosting resellers), there's still spam registration. So I thought that honeypots could help. best regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
