Botstopper Suggestions?

[GigiDay]

Hi,

We have a request form on our site where people can request a free quit smoking book. Over the weekend, we had over 700 requests. This seems quite suspicious to me since we usually only have 50-60 per week. It is possible that we got on some mass email list, but to make sure, does anybody have a suggestion or some code that they can give me to put one of those text boxes on the submission page? What I'm looking for is one of those text boxes that you have to type what you see in the box to proceed.

Thanks!

Gigi

It won't stop a sophisticated attempt...but I doubt that is what is hitting your site. Basically, you want to generate a "Random" number, display that number and then test the input against that variable on the submit.

Actual codes depends on how your current form is setup, and what lanaguage it uses for processing the requests.
