Anti-spammer Master & Formidable working together

After you install the package, there is nothing left to do with it. It will just run in the background and do its magic.

Your ant-spam settings are managed through the Anti-spammer Master settings form on the core Spam Control dashboard page.

Honeypots and timers

Use them in your forms

Using honeypots and timers with Anti-Spammer Master and Formidable works the same way it does with Core Form blocks: You'll have to create a template for your Formidable blocks and add the honeypot and timer fields to it following this procedure from Anti-spammer Master documentation.

What are honeypots and timers?

If you're not sure what honeypots and timers do, it's simple:

• A honeypot is a visually hidden input that should not be filled by the user. Normal users will NOT see it and won't try to fill it. Bots will see it and will most likely fill it up. Anti-Spammer Master will mark the submission as spam if the honeypot is filled.
• A timer is an input that allows Anti-Spammer Master to calculate how long it took for the form to be filled and submitted. Bots often fill forms in a matter of seconds. Forms filled too fast will be marked as spam.

Improving accessibility

It is good practice to put your honeypot blocks after the submit button. Putting it after the submit button will ensure users with disabilities using screen readers will not fill the honeypot accidentally. Other measures are in place to avoid that, this is just an extra measure but an important one.
