I have an asp form script as part of my forum for people to contact me with questions, etc. I'm getting a lot of spam on it lately and was wondering if there are any open source asp scripts that have good authentication and bot prevention that are available?
Thank you!

Try the "Contact Staff" mod. It requires users to both use the drop-down menu to select a staff member and to complete a random CAPTCHA. Currently it uses only images of numerals; however, the default is 8 characters. It could be changed to use alpha-numerics.
If you wanted to help reduce spam from newly registered accounts, could also incorporate something like I did for this post.

Can that automatically block spam even staffs are not around?

It will be more difficult for an automated spam script to do it, but it would still be possible with a good bit of effort. Most spammers don't want to put that much into it, though, due to the law of diminishing returns.
What it can do is prevent newly registered (or not registered) people from using the form at all (if you choose to incorporate that function) and force the spammers to manually use the form. That's too much like work for most of them.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. The form script I need is for outside of Snitz. I have a homemade random number edit that bots seem to bypass. I'm just looking for a simple asp form script that is more secure than the one I have now. Thanks.

Zenfor, without knowing more about your specific situation, it's tough to be certain, but this may be helpful.
