    I am so sick of the masses of bot-created registration spam on my site and thought I’d add a honeypot.  Nothing fancy but just a fake email field that shouldn’t show up for most users but will show up for bots.  But now, how can I validate that it’s empty (a human user should not fill it out) and require that this is totally untouched in the EE validation?

    Captcha doesn’t seem to work well at all…or if it does, it’s letting hundreds of registrations in unchecked.

    Thanks for any help!
