Guestbook Spam

Post by mungo »

CMSMS 1.5.3 with Guestbook 1.1.12

Hi, am I the only one getting lots of spam sent to my Guestbook? I have Captcha switched on (GD, was the only one that would work on my server) and I am moderating the entries, but the e-mail traffic is beginning to get annoying!
It would be a shame to have to remove it but I'm feeling that way now!

Thanks,
Lloyd.

Ok, thanks, I've checked this out but can't figure out how to get it to work with Guestbook. Surely that module needs some modification to use the functionality?

Guestbook should be modified to use akisment. Should'n be hard.
But first don't leave guest form on the first page
Or you can use JavaScript to redirect browser to Guestbook page 1-2 s after first page is loaded (i heard spam harvesters don't have JavaScript on them, and first page could be "visitors" IP :D )
Create dummy FEU to log in to guestbook page. FEU login can be simple answer to 2 questions like: Name of previous president of US and last Greek letter...
Restrict some IPs to access that page.
