Honeypot spam prevention

Over at HoneyPot.org they offer some pretty nifty ways to identify e-mail spiders/harvesters on your webdomain and have them automatically blacklisted and added to several filter-databases.

Might come in handy for PM's hosting their game on a domain to prevent that domain to be overrun by spam. There are some pretty nifty (and rather easily implemented) related techniques to prevent or blacklist spam to your domain automatically, downside is that it has a lot to do with hiding stuff in the source (to attract harvesters), but that's not the safest thing to do when running an ARG, because you might be blacklisting a lot of innocent gamers Smile

They have some really useful tips on hiding your e-mail address from harvesters too, on http://www.projecthoneypot.org/how_to_avoid_spambots_2.php
