Comment on Ask HN: What's your experience with PoW captchas against form spam?parent

Comments

Thanks for sharing! My current experience is that honeypot fields are often ignored by the bots we're dealing with, but adding hCaptcha is pretty reliable in getting rid of them.

What do you usually name them? You typically want opaque names on all fields and various combinations (some fields auto-filled in with JS that clones the email field, some need to be left blank, some filled in during the onsubmit JS hook..)
