Honeypot for spam/best practice for mailto links
Evening!
Just wondering if anyone has a good link/advice for cutting down spam for forms/mailto links? A while ago I read that for forms you can have some success with an invisible field which a bot will likely check - and filter based on that. I was also considering taking that IP and banning on the backend based on that range or something? (I run fail2ban on the server, but don't really know much about this)
RE the mailto link - don't i have a similar problem here too in terms of exposing the email address?
Thanks!

A friendly place for developers to meet other devs, ask questions, get help, and just have a good time 🙂.
