How does a Honeypot work?

It's very simple. Spambots see inputs on a form, fill them with their garbage and submit the form. By adding an input to a form and hiding it in the browser humans will never see it or fill it in. So we simply check if the input contains anything. If so, we quietly kill the process and say Adios, Spammer scum.

Give it a go and let us know in the comments how well it worked for you.
