StupidSpamProtection

Idea behind this very simple spam protection is validate attribute that it is empty. Spam boots fill in all form they can find on page. We will add one virtual attribute :robot. Usually it is a good idea to hide input with come css styling.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'stupid_spam_protection'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install stupid_spam_protection

class Message < ActiveRecord::Base
  attr_accessible :text

  extend StupidSpamProtection
end

m = Message.new(:text => "some text", :robot => "")
m.save # => true (record will be saved, because robot attribute is empty)

m = Message.new(:text => "some text", :robot => "sdf54")
m.save # => false (record won't be saved, because robot attribute is not blank)
m.robot = ""
m.save # => true
