Norobots is apparently easy to get around, even if I change the parameters. Alternatives include collective.recaptcha and quitagroup.plonecaptchas. There may be others.

I just need a solution that I can configure and forget. As it is now, I get several spammers a week, sometimes several a day (often from the same source).

This is for the contact form at https://take-note.com/forms/contact

I now get several spam messages a day. What would you recommend as a new solution?

I tried changing the "answers" to more complicated math, but it did not appreciably reduce the number of spam messages.

The only place the previous solution was used is on the /forms/contact/ form. since you removed the old solutions, the bottom of that form no longer makes sense. But I don't see how to remove it, or to add the new solution. Help needed.

Norobots was also used for adding comments to Notes. This was what I originally changed to reCAPTCHA. But spam comments have started being entered when they weren't before.

I have changed comments back to use Norobots, and will look into a different solution for the Contact form
