Use CAPTCHA images to prevent spamming
A good way to avoid automatic form submissions when creating a web form is to add some kind of verification. One of the best ways is to use an image verification, called also captcha. What it does is to dynamically create an image with a random string displayed on it. Then visitor is asked to type that string in a text field and once the form is submitted it checks if the string on the image matches the one inputted by the user.

The usage of  the captcha images is enabled  by default, but  if you would  like to disable it (for example if the PHP graphics library - GD isn't installed on your website), you could change the value of this setting to “NO”.
