I do not think it comes down to making them beg, it shows them you Are concerned about SPAM and since they are subscribing to a service You are providing, they will not have to worry about receiving spam notices from that Newsletter List.
Captcha is a great concept and is in use in many high profiled sites. -----Original Message----- From: Aaron Roberson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 08, 2006 2:34 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Help with Form Validation Against Spam I know that nobody wants to put their site visitors through the trouble of entering some anti-spam verification code into the form but in this case I really don't think that Capthca or Math is the right solution. I would rather just use a regular expression. The reason is that email newsletter subscriptions are delicate. People are already hesitant about subscribing and I don't want to make them beg for it. I didn't think about checking if the first name and last name are the same, I may try that (and count my losses when/if anybody with the same first and last name tries to enroll). I may use Math or Lyla Captcha on other forms on my site though, so thank you for the links. -Aaron ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:259690 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
