@Marie That reminds me, I need to do something about the captcha I've slapped on my guestbook. Maybe a honeypot field instead. Dunno.

@sarajw That actually sounds like an interesting idea ​:neocat_3c:​

@Marie I use Netlify forms currently, so I'd be doing this: https://docs.netlify.com/forms/spam-filters/#honeypot-field

@sarajw Just looked at it this cycles back in to the fact with how it's presented that bots could also just learn about them.

In my opinion captchas just need to be generally either hidden and track more data than most people probably want or basically need to be fully replaced by better stuff.

@Marie Yeah none of it's ideal. Netlify also catch spam with an Akismet filter - but it wasn't getting everything. And I moderate the incoming messages anyway!

@Marie I wonder if I could just roll my own instead, I wonder how much trickery I can do in just HTML and CSS which remains accessible but fools bots...
