Alternative not to use Captcha

 

· Reason why not to use captcha

  • Most people hate filling out Captchas.
  • It doesn't stop human spammers (they fill out your form manually).
  • Spam software these days can break through simple Captchas.
  • If you make your Captcha harder, you may block legit users.
  • Blind people can't get past Captchas.

 

· Simple solution just add 1 more input field hidden by CSS – this need to be check if it is filled means it’s filled by bot.
