What is Honeypot?

A hidden form field that people never fill in but bots do, so their submissions can be thrown away.

Form services such as Web3Forms look for a hidden field, often a checkbox named botcheck. Visitors cannot see it, so a filled-in honeypot means a bot. It stops most spam with no captcha.
