Preventing Spam Sign-Ups

Noptin uses several methods to prevent spam signups while keeping the forms easy to use for non-spammers.

If, however, you are still getting spam sign-ups, you can install any of the following plugins to fight spammers.

La Sentinelle antispam

This plugin uses the following techniques to block spam:-

• Honeypot – this adds a hidden input field that normal people can’t see. If a spammer fills this field then the submission will be marked as spam.
• Nonces – The plugin also uses nonces to check for spam.
• Timeout – This will add a timer function to the form. If the form is submitted too fast then the submission will be marked as spam.
