Site Feedback Form Spamming

I have a couple mods that do a great job of filtering out spammers from the membership and keeping things clean on my forum, but my Site Feedback form is getting deluged with spam-crap. Anyone had to deal with this before? I could simply take the form down, but I do want to keep it available as there have been a few instances of feedback forms being useful.

I've never had this problem personally, but this mod might help:

Contact Us Visual Authentication - prevent Spam Bots from sending messages! - vBulletin.org Forum

I've also never used that mod myself, but if it does what it says it does, it will help

Here is the solution to your problems, integration enable for your "contact us" page.

NoSpam! - an alternative to CAPTCHA images - vBulletin.org Forum

Yes, the integration was added a few months back. This may be my favorite mod ever.

This happens to me a lot, but I just ignore it. I may look into adding the NoSpam though.

You don't have it yet? INSTALL IT! and not just for the contact form protection...I didn't even know that existed. We're using it for the registration protection.

I'm with Mike...this is by far the best vb.org mod that we have ever installed at AF.
