Can you give me more information on such simple javascript-baed spam protection techniques?


Automatically fill a hidden form with constant text. Unless you are a big site, smammers are really just bots who hit your site along with thousands of others. No one will notice if your site doesn't accept the spam, and if they did, no one would care enough to implement a work around. Unfourtuantly, you cannot bundle this feature into a popular library, because then enough people would use it, that bot makers would implement a work around.
