Oh yes. We were having some huge problems with spam and I blocked all countries outside of the U.S.A. since we are only interested in reaching users in Houston, TX. Sorry mate.

How does one submit a website to the showcase?

You should be able to reduce spam by adding a hidden field or two for the robots, there shouldn’t be much need to block traffic from outside the US. If you are using Revolution, check out the mathhook for formit.

What do you mean by hidden field exactly ? I am looking for something to reduce spam. I am not using Revolution. Thank you. angie’s list

A hidden field such as "first name" that if filled in was likely done by robots (who ignore css and such). The code would be something like this:

<input type="hidden" name="firstname" value="" />

Naturally there would be more to the HTML, but that’s the general idea...

Some of the ’bots are smart enough to catch on to the "hidden" attribute. I use an otherwise ordinary input field with a distinctive name and an ID attribute. I use CSS to move the field off the screen, with a message for screen readers and text browser users to leave it empty. If the validation finds it’s not empty I silently abort the form processing.

Actually I "borrowed" the code from SPForm; that has several interesting functions for frustrating ’bots.

So far I haven’t gotten a single spam message from my site’s contact form, and I was getting quite a few of them. It’s been well over a year since I implemented it. I haven’t heard a peep out of any of my clients that I’ve used that method for either, once I’ve managed to convince them that they don’t need a captcha type trap.
