I can confirm that after manually editing the "Leave this field blank" text in the code files of Honeypot both D7 and D9/10 versions, that my sites have changed from several spam submissions a day, to not a single one in the week since the edits.
This adds siginficant weight to at least the most simple of Honeypot updates: allowing Admin to change the text of the don't-fill-this-in advisory label, to their own custom text.
Hi all, I'm re-submitting this old feature request because the current Honeypot version for D10, as good as it is, still hasn't addressed this issue.
It is clear from several websites I run that smarter bots are figuring out the FIXED label text "Leave this field blank" is easy to program the bot to NOT fill out the form field and therefore submission is successful. Still get spam (albeit less than unprotected).
Can I suggest at least a first-step addition of a user-configurable Honeypot field label text, before anything fancier is attempted?
Thanks everyone for the great work.
This module doesn't work for my theme, either (Notech, purchased from Themeforest). After a lot of fiddling and no joy, I've uninstalled it. A shame.
