Background

The InvisibleSpamProtection module offers simple anti spam protection based on principle that automated spammers enter bogus information in all form fields they find on the form.

Spammers fall for the cunning trap as:

• The spam field that is added to form is hidden from human users through CSS.
• Spammers fail to notice the field is hidden and enter some random information in it.
• The form is only allowed to be submitted if the InvisibleSpamProtection field is empty.

The module includes an EditableInvisibleSpamField to integrate with the UserForms module.
