title: Better Honeypot Implementation (Form Anti-Spam)
body: <blockquote>
  How do we get rid of these spambots on our site?
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Every site falls victim to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spambot" rel="noreferrer">spambots</a> at some point. How you handle it can effect your customers, and most solutions can discourage some people from filling out your forms.</p>
  
  <p>That's where the honeypot technique comes in. It allows you to ignore spambots without forcing your users to fill out a captcha or jump through other hoops to fill out your form.</p>
  
  <p><strong>This post is purely to help others implement a honeypot trap on their website forms.</strong></p>

  <h2>Update:</h2>
  
  <p>Since implementing the below honeypot on all of my client's websites, we have successfully blocked <strong>99.5%</strong> (thousands of submissions) of all our spam. That is without using the techniques mentioned in the "advanced" section, which will be implemented soon.</p>
