CAPTCHA

In addition to Honeypot and Antibot, you can also add an additional layer of protection if it seems necessary with a CAPTCHA field. The field requires a visitor to prove they're not a bot by either answering a math question or, more commonly, entering in the text information that matches a graphic representation of text.
