<p>How can I prevent bots from sending tons of messages from a frontend form, it uses the Craft Guest Entries plugin. I'm using Recaptcha 2 but it only hides the submit button and it doesn't work using Craft 2. </p>

# Using Recaptcha v2 and Guest Entries plugin

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-12-28)

How can I prevent bots from sending tons of messages from a frontend form, it uses the Craft Guest Entries plugin. I'm using Recaptcha 2 but it only hides the submit button and it doesn't work using Craft 2.

All other solutions (antispam) that I check seems quite old...

Thank you.
