I've been using Antibot for more than a year now to protect a fairly large number of webforms on different websites. Yesterday, within two hours, I received about 400 spam contributions through one of these webforms protected by Antibot. At first I thought some javascript files were not loaded and this version was now stuck in the cache. But that was not the case. I had to take the affected webform offline to finally stop the flooding. This morning, I took it online again, but the spam-terror continued immediately.
I would be interested to know if anyone has noticed similar lately. In my case, the Email address field of the submitted webform followed the scheme [10-digit-number]@qq.com. The text field contained asian letters.

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
Attaching a re-roll of the patch along with a version combined with clean URLs patch.
Thanks Gregor! Not sure if I should set this to RTBC, as it is only D7.
I am not supporting 7.x at this point, but given that there are still lots of sites who are using it (7,446), I suppose I should apply this patch.
Patch #20 applied cleanly, and tested OK, will commit it to the 7.x branch.
