Hi,

I plan to use ez survey, but i worry about spam bots.

eZ Survey create content just after one single POST submit and i guess it could be dangerous (no confirmation, no CAPTCHA...)

Of course, i could add a captcha datatype (custom data type), but maybe someone already use another clever solution ?

Thx,
Up

One solution out of the box could be to force a user to log in before it's possible to send the form, since the survey itself are using the same permissions as an article, folder etc.

Of course, i need anonymous contributions... like a classic contact form.

Maybe, the simplest way is to change the default survey template, by displaying a first empty FORM before the real survey FORM (acting like the defaut /content/action POST -> /content/edit/ POST). Double POST is a good way to prevent spam bots.

Suggestion :
--------------
A confirmation page ('modify' button and 'confirm' button) could be a safe (anti spam because double POST) and an useful feature (printing).
