2/3 Anti Spam fields seems ignored when testing

    Hey,

    I was just testing the plugin through Firebug and it seems like 2/3 anti spam fields are ignored in the checking of the comment.

    I changed the year in “ant-spm-a” to a different year and the value in “ant-spm-q” to something else than 21 and it still let’s the comment through. Only the “ant-spm-e-email-url” resulted in the comment being marked as spam when I added text to the field.

    Do you have any clues why it’s not reacting to the first two fields having the wrong values?

    Thanks!

  • I did not understood your question. Can you explain it more detailed?

    Or maybe you want me to explain you the spam-blocking mechanism?

    Hey,

    No, I think I know how it works and I’m trying to point out a possible bug.

    The plugin is setup to recieve three pre decided values:
    – Current year (2014)
    – The value 21
    – And the last field should be empty.

    If I understood this plugin correctly it should error if one of those values are parsed with the incorrect value. So I altered the values via Firebug and tried to submit the form. When doing this it accepted the comments except if the last field was not empty. That’s the only time it reacted and labeled it as spam.

    See screenshot here:

    So again; shouldn’t the plugin react and label the comment as spam if the first two statements (year and 21) are altered?

    You are testing Anti-spam plugin not correctly.
    If you will change the value of the input in the html it will not change the value inputted by user (or in this case by javascript).
    The inputs are hidden via css.
    Try to unhide the inputs and try to change the value of inputs in browser and change the value of inputs via firebug as you did before and see what happens.

    Write me back if you will have more questions or suggestions.
