Our Page Not Found feedback service continues to be hit, and presently it is extreme, by automated viral posters. If you have reported a broken link recently, it is very likely it has not been picked up.

Please report broken links here.

This problem could easily be solved by adding a decent turing test. Spam would be cut down a huge amount.

You know who to speak to about that. Eye-wink

As I understand it the Feedback Pages are outside of the standard SPAM Trapping functions. Options have been investigated but they are rather difficult to implement in the current structure.

Yes, yes I do. Sticking out tongue

I don't understand though what you mean about 'outside' of standard spam traps. I've added a number of turing tests to many sites in a number of different ways. You can add honey traps, questions (word or equation answers), recaptcha... All that's needed is the addition of a bit of code and some validation. Heck, a couple of months ago I taught myself how to do that on a mail form.

Whether the page is public or members only, you can still add a spam filter. What's getting in the way of adding it?

The Man tried this and found he couldn't do it. Beyond that, I don't know.
