guestbook

[cliff morrow]

Hi All
I have a guestbook on my site and it is always getting loaded with junk
entries for web sites selling pills etc.
I have deleted these entries numerous times to only find that within half an
hour there will be more on there again .

Does anyone please have ideas that i can do to stop this ?

Thanks cliff .

Remove the guest book. Seriously. Or change the form properties to send the
data to email or a text file for vetting before manually adding to the
guestbook page.

As a temporary measure, change the name of the guestbook - this may delay
spammers for an hour, maybe a day or two.

As an alternative use a database for the comments and server side validation
for form - javascript validation will be useless against this kind of
spammer.

You might get some ideas from
http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/anti-spam/
but server side validation, which requires PHP, asp or asp.NET, is a must
have requirement.

Hi cliff Miss You

The Guestbook is it your Codes you can edit and a Server Codes that you
can not Edit.
If it's your Code is it in Java, JavaScript, VBScript or Perl ?

If it's The Server Codes>>> We need to know if you can run PHP or Perl on
your Server?

So we can sat you up of with a (Guestbook SPAN? No, thank!)

How much is 1 + 1 = ? Type answer below to show you and not a robot:
http://www.minpin.ath.cx/gbook/

* in PHP you can

/* If you want to use a logical anti-SPAM question type it here */
$settings['spam_question']='How much is <b>1 + 1 = ? </b> Type answer below
to show you are not a robot:';

/* Correct answer to the anti-SPAM logical question */
$settings['spam_answer']='2';

It will not stop all SPAMMERS.
But it will stop SPAM Robots.
For 96% of SPAM or Robots made.
For 2% you get is the SPAMMER setting up the robot to keep sending the SPAM
..

You Say::::As a temporary measure, change the name of the guestbook - this
may delay
spammers for an hour, maybe a day or two.
But will not stop the ROBOT SPAMMER

You can Prevent automated submissions by GRAPHICAL or TEXT in PHP or PERL
Script !

The Robot spammer will take an hour to find the new page, a human might be
quicker...

In practice the change name method has worked for many users, delaying the
spam onslaught for as much as a month.
The other methods you mention are on the pages I linked to...
