Hi all,

i am using one feedback form. If i post the feed back i view that feed back in admin side.

Problem:
Some spam messages also inserted.
for eg: withdrawal_<span style='color:red;text-decoration:blink' title='Alert a moderator!'>grilled spam</span> : withdrawal_<span style='color:red;text-decoration:blink' title='Alert a moderator!'>grilled spam</span> - withdrawal <span style='color:red;text-decoration:blink' title='Alert a moderator!'>grilled spam</span> side_effects_of_<span style='color:red;text-decoration:blink' title='Alert a moderator!'>grilled spam</span> : side_effects_of_<span style='color:red;text-decoration:blink' title='Alert a moderator!'>grilled spam</span> - side effects of <span style='color:red;text-decoration:blink' title='Alert a moderator!'>grilled spam</span>

This msgs are automated. Daily 3 or 4 messages are inserted.
How it's happen?
What is the solution? :banghead:

Regards,
vani

CAPTCHA or even a simple random math equation would probably cut back on the SPAM you receive. Alternatively you could maybe setup a spam filter. I'd personally go with CAPTCHA as it's easist to implement.
