I like the simple human check tick box that appears with simple forms. It's called "human check" and requires a tick.

Can a spam bot be designed to automatically check boxes? If so, then perhaps two check boxes could be used, as below:

Check one box to prove you are human:

Check this box []. Do not check this box []


I know there are many ways to make tests more difficult for spam bots, if needed. This just happens to be what occurred to me now, and is not one I have seen elsewhere.

Fair enough concern, but the concern is only valid if you start getting spam. Getting spam?

If not then there's no need to make the system any more complicated.

There are a lot of checks in place on that seemingly simple system. :)
