Stopping people spamming your contact form

Well I have resisted for as long as I felt I could but today I have been forced to add a captcha to my contact form. Captchas are those irritating little mashed up bits of text that you have to enter to prove you are a human rather than a software bot.

I dislike them as they trend to impede usability and conversion but if you find, like me, that you are getting tens if not hundreds of ‘offers’ submitted then the only option to help stop the automated bots is add a captcha.

So sorry but that is what I have had to do, if anyone else has similar problems and would like some advice or help in getting scrapers, bots and automated programs off your site please contact me and I would be happy to help (Filling in my captcha as you do sorry)
