Yes, most website owners use a spam filter to stop spam messages from being posted on their websites. Common filters include CAPTCHA, reCAPTCHA, Akismet, and Honeypot. CAPTCHA and reCAPTCHA are forms of verification that require visitors to prove they are human by entering a code or solving a puzzle before submitting a form. Akismet is a popular plugin that uses algorithms to identify and block spam. Honeypot is a method of deploying invisible fields on a form to detect automated bots. Additionally, website owners can also moderate comments and only allow approved comments to appear on their websites.
