I keep getting these lovely business propositions from very polite african people [nigerian spam] f but I don't have time to reply to them all

captchas for this module would be nice?

I don't think Captcha will do much in this case.

In my experience, the Nigerians will keep doing copy/paste and gladly enter the number combination in the image.

I am not saying that there is no problem. I just doubt that captcha is the answer here.

Other possible solutions:

- Save the IP address of people who send feedback, and prevent them from sending questions again, except once every so many hours (configurable?). However, this requires a database table to save these addresses, which goes against the design of feedback being "no database change required". It also does not address proxies. If you are in a country where everyone is behind a proxy, chances are this will cause a lot of false positives.

- Similar to the above, but uses the session cookie.

Any other ideas?
