“I usually use recaptcha but they're getting harder to read for humans so I'm thinking of ditching it for a simple solution like fourth monkey outlined. I read somewhere you could record the time the contact page loaded and compare it to the time the page was submitted and if it's less than 5 seconds (or whatever you set the threshold to) then it must be a spam bot as the form couldn't be filled out in less than 5 seconds by a human.”
Capthca's are so hard to solve sometimes, it is getting pretty ridiculous. I really think that sounds like a pretty full proof tactic outlined above, until the spammers find out that it takes people 25 seconds to fill out the form and then they will adjust.
