Block Spam Submissions - any hack ?

[ideavirus]

Hi,

lately one of my directories has been getting tons of span submissions and finiding it very difficult to delete/reject every day or weekends.

Is there any hack available to avoid such spam submissions ?
Like enter a randomly generated alpha numeric number before submission or something like that to avoid the spamming ???

Thanks

Thank you.

I did the changes and have tested it also. It seems to be working fine.

Hopefully no more spam submissions!?

I guess this may work for time being, however in the next release a better version of the same to be included as a feature would be a good idea. because copying and pasting the number in its preset state is quite easy...randomly generated numbers should have a background and sort of distorted in a way un=readable by bots but readable by humans.

Thanks much Dody and inspireme.

Looks good !
Another very simple idea is to change the name of add.php (also in the link) so spam software will be blocked...

I get so many submissions myself, it is crazy.
