- We have used the honeypot technic differently in this plugin to make it work better. What other plugin does is, they add honeypot field from server side (PHP) and check if the spam bot have filled that field or not. If it is filled it is marked as spam. But in our case, we add honeypot field from client side (Javascript) and check if honeypot field exists or not. Spam bots can't use javascript and honeypot field is not available for them. This way we can better trap spam bot.
