(Painfully Please) http://www.cfchris.com/cfchris/index.cfm/2009/1/15/Die-Spammers-Die-Painfully-Please My blog has been absolutely hammered with comment spam lately. If any of you were subscribed to any of those comments and were forwarded the offensive spam, I am very sorry. Fortunately, one of the bots wasn't submitting something correctly. So, instead of getting a few thousand spam comments I got a few thousand error emails. :-( Anyway, I just took the time to add <a href="http://cfformprotect.riaforge.org/" target="_blank">CFFormProtect</a> to my comment form. It was super easy. There was really no excuse for me not to do this sooner. So, again, I apologize. Just to show you how easy it is, here is the implementation code from the docs. <code> Put <cfinclude template="/cfformprotect/cffp.cfm"> somewhere between your form tags. <!--- On your processing page include the following code: ---> <cfset Cffp = CreateObject("component","cfformprotect.cffpVerify").init() /> <!--- now we can test the form submission ---> <cfif Cffp.testSubmission(form)> <!--- The submission has passed the form test. Place processing here ---> <cfelse> <!--- The test failed. Take appropriate failure action here. ---> </cfif> </code> Of course there are lots of things you can do to customize it's behavior. But, that is the basics. So please go checkout <a href="http://cfformprotect.riaforge.org/" target="_blank">CFFormProtect</a> for all your 'spam form submission' needs. Because, seriously, Captcha is the suck.
