beat the spam?

Asked by pigmentarts in Extensible HTML (XHTML), Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Cold Fusion Markup Language

Hi, my website gets a lot of spam via the 'contact form'. the spam bots are now working out how to filling in the form and the 'human question' i ask (which changes dynamically).  so now i detect when it a spam because the message field has urls (which i don't allow) and then reject them.

the above does reduce my spam, but i would like to know, if i find a spam bot (because of the message field bing filled with urls) can i not beat them at there own game and send them somewhere, slow them down etc. the reason i ask it because i get so many its affecting my bandwidth!Start Free Trial
