    Arrow Block Spam Submissions - any hack ?

    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...
