Reverse Captcha for your Rails app

h1. Trap Door - Reverse Captcha for Rails
Unobtrusive Captcha for your Rails forms. Trap Door works by adding a hidden "honeypot" field to your forms that only a spam bot will fill out. A before filter checks for the presence of this field and banishes bots to a "spam trap":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Mike_Rosoft/Spambot.
h2. Installation
@script/plugin install git://github.com/hardbap/trap_door.git@
h2. Using Trap Door
h3. In your view
# the rest of your form...
h3. In your controller
class PostController :create
# the rest of your controller...
h2. Configuration
By default Trap Door names the hidden_field @:affiliate_id@. Obviously this won't work for everyone so you can change the field name by creating an initializer in @config/initializers@ and telling Trap Door the name it should use for the honeypot field:
@TrapDoor.honeypot_field_name = :go_away@
