    Hi everyone,

    We’re using Freeform and captcha is on in EE 1.6.7. We are receiving quite some spam and my client is starting to get annoyed by it.

    In the form a user can choose what kind of user he/she wants to be. Depending on that, we’ll make the user part of a member group (one group pays for membership, the other one doesn’t). This field is a pulldown, so you’d think one can’t choose something else than we provide, but in the spam entries, we see text being input there. So this must be some kind of robot working around the captcha.

    Do you have any ideas whether we can take measures to make this more difficult for people / robots?

    Thanks in advance,
    Vibes

    Vibes,

    Solspace has his own add-on called Freeform Spam which may help.

    Another one which may help is Invisible Captcha

    Hope that helps.
