Wordpress contact form fustration!
Too much spam is arriving to my email. I have a contact form and I get emails, several, maybe 10+ each day just with links to sites in. It's very annoying. How can I stop it?

Insert 3 fields. One hidden, one display: none, one visibility: none. Give them names like realname, or date, or birthday. Make captcha too. Also make text saying:
Are you a bot? (Check the first input if you are a both, check the second if your not). But code the checkboxes like this:
Code:
(first):
<input type="checkbox" name="botornot" value="NOTBOT" />
(second):
<input type="checkbox" name="botornot" value="AMBOT" />
Then make sure that the user checks AMBOT

Not sure about the 3 fields.

Captcha is a definite must.
Pick one that does not fall prey to script insertion routines that have OCR to read the display graphic.

If you want I can create a simple PHP GD captcha. But I would suggest reCaptcha

RE: Wordpress contact form fustration!
Thanks for the comments guys but I'm getting so much spam - emails just full of links. Send by people from free email addresses.
