Whether we like it or not spam is part of online business and even complicated form did not prevent it. In other words it is useless as a deterrent.
You have no data that I am aware of (as I'm not sure how you'd gather it) to demonstrate that the level of spam isn't lower than it would be with a simpler process.
Of course, if you do, feel free to share it. I'd be interested in how you gathered it.
I have some experience from a wiki I'm running, which has a rather long signup form.
Most spammers (to be exact: their bots) fill _every_ field. If a fieldname is unknown to them, they usually fill the field with stuff that would be a good password ;-)
This also means that one of my spam defenses is having a field that is hidden by CSS - if it is filled, it's a sure sign for a spammer...
Nice one, good idea, but why not use a CAPTCHA? I know they are occasionally also circumvented, but it requires a real person, which is a lot more effort. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (15.4°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
