konung / comfy_imprint

Distributed as a gem, relies on SimpleForm, while this is an engine, it's inteded for use with Comfortable Mexican Sofa, and it may work with other Rails apps, but is not tested for them. Why not comfy_contact - cause keeping track of ComfyContact::Contact.contact - hurts my head.

Adding Captcha / ReCaptcha mechanism to fight SPAM #1

Open konung opened 11 years ago

konung commented 11 years ago

When I used other contact forms - I used to get a lot of emails from spambots. It seems to have stopped for now. I'm guessing it has mostly to do with validations on the form. For now I'll put this under review, and will need to investigate further.

It's been a week since I added ComfyImprint to my page and all spam stopped. I used to get abou 20 to 30 message per day when I used 'contact_us' gem. Since I added ComfyImprint with validation on emaila nd message field - that seems to trip up bots since they use all kind of messy html in message body and my validation doesn't allow for this. So for now I think I'll keep this open a few more weeks and if noone reports any issues I will abondond ReCaptcha feature for now, unless bots will become smarter. No reason to complicate this gem - I tend to find ReCaptcha an anti-feature, cause it trips ME up sometimes.
