Comment on Ask HN: Contact form spam despite trying everything

Comments

I eliminated virtually all spam submissions on my site by using hidden fields and checking for common browser automation flags. I didn't want to use intrusive captchas if I didn't have to.

I am aware of hidden fields and have implemented them. Can you elaborate on browser automation flags? Very much appreciated.
