I’ve used the honey pot trap as part of certain contact stacks in Rapidweaver on sites where I have never received a single spam message in three years. There is an explanation here of how it works https://jennamolby.com/how-to-prevent-form-spam-by-using-the-honeypot-technique/
In theory we could do this in Blocs and I’d like to see a way of implementing this easily, even if it was just a “honey pot bric” option to include alongside other form brics.

I don’t have a code solution but it is a technique I have used in other systems.
Bootstrap has really good form components which provide all of the building block. What’s needed is a required number field that must validate to be equal to a number. E.g. the number could be 5 and the text for the field would be something like “Add two & three together”, so the form does not get sent until the user enters 5 in the box.
@webdeersign, OK cool… I get it. Not sure how to write the validation code though?
How do you write this into the form?
Has anyone found a solution for the honeypot technique?
(Why is this not part of the Blocs core application?)

@Visionquest I agree - @Norm possibly another thing for Blocs 4 !!! be good to have this built in the form bric as standard. as said above - the ones ive used in the past do a simple: 3+3 = or 2+3= etc
cheers!
What exactly did you use before, where to get and how to use? I’d be grateful for some help on that.
Hi ya - sorry - was not with Blocs, was with Rapidweaver / Foundation and many times on Wordpress.
I would love this to be in Blocs.
