TOPIC: Reduce spam with hidden field?

Reduce spam with hidden field? 12 years 6 months ago #19536

Hi,

Recently it was brought to my attention a nice method of preventing spam, without serving captcha to your users. By using a hidden field you can set a rule that halts the post process of the form if it's filled. The hidden field wont be visible to users, so they will never type anything in there. Spambots will.

My questions is; How can I do this with RSForms? How to I halt the process if a hidden field has input?
