thehippy Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Could you elaborate on 'spam words', its a bit vague. Akismet is a good service for stopping spam in general though its focused on comment and trackback spam for blogs, but can be adapted. If you're worried about bots spamming your site having an image captcha, that a user inputs on submit is definitely a good solution, reCaptcha is pretty much the industry standard on this technology nowadays but it can be implemented readily with some inventive GD image and font manipulation. Neither of the mentioned solutions is perfect, so make sure to build in some features for yourself to easily review the user content.
