Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Formidable Honeypot

Sure, it's possible. There's no way to know exactly how every spam bot works. Or in some cases, SPAM messages can be filled in by real people.

Again, it's possible. One way it could happen is if the user has an "auto-fill" feature on their browser. We will be doing our best to prevent this from happening, but there's never a guarantee. There is a message that tells people their response was not successful, so at least they know it happened and can contact you directly.

Yes, it adds a honeypot to all forms, regardless of whether you have the Pro or Free versions of Formidable.
