Hello twisterking,

there is another option.
An addition to the honey pot.

You can give the Honey-Pot email field a 'Custom Validation'.
All forms with a filled Honey-Pot email field will then not be accepted and will be sent back with an error message.

This could be your quickest solution.

Kind regards, Ingmar
:idea: I recommend you the new and up-to-date documentation for Joomla 5:
docs.joomla-5.visforms.vi-solutions.de/en/docs/
Most of this also applies retrospectively to Joomla 4.
Please only ask 1 question per topic :-).

Hello twisterking,

we will add the honeypot with its hidden email as a new security feature in the form configuration.

There is already a similar earlier issue about this:
Issue [VF-925] Forum: Spambots: 'Invisible reCAPTCHA' solution and Honeypot form configuration

But now it's explicitly about the honeypot.
I have created a development issue in the feature wish list:
Issue [VF-1024] Forum: Add Form Security Feature: E-Mail Honeypot

When we release the new feature, you will be explicitly informed about the release here in the topic.
Thank you again for your contribution!

Kind regards, Ingmar
