If you have one or more forms on your site which are being repeatedly submitted by an automated source this can be both irritating and frustrating tofor administrators not to mention a waste of your websites bandwidth allowance. This problem is generally created by search bots which follow a link through to your site from elsewhere on the web with the soul aim of finding HTML forms to exploit.

With this information the spammer responsable for sending the bot can simulate the form submission automatically.
