Blocking comment spam without using captcha [closed]

by

In my experience the currently most effective methods are honeypot input fields that are made invisible to users via CSS (best use several different methods, such as visibility:hidden, setting a size of 0 pixels, and absolute positioning far outside the browser window); if they’re filled anyway you can assume it’s a spambot.

This blog describes a rather complex method that I’ve tried out myself (with 100% success so far), but I suspect that you could get the same result by skipping all the stuff with hashed field names and just add some simple honeypot fields.
