Gotcha Go Away page not displayed

I still get a 403 error when spammer is redirected to gotch-go-away page

I believe its because its not published

Is there a way to fix this?

I would search drupal but they turned off the search function

yes that fixed it

When you do update the code, you may as well change line 89
'promote' => 1,
to
'promote' => 0,

You don't want to show this on your home page, right? ;-)

I have also commented out lines 256-260 as the spam module has changed the parameters to spam_content_filter() and AFAICT the spam module only supports node, comment and user type inputs. Oh well.

I had a spammer manage to get past gotcha, the script must have been parsing the css so there was nothing to do about that, I tried obfuscating the contact form so there was no mention of gotcha and changed the fieldnames etc but no joy, so I just banned the *******'s ips in the end.

However it has caught quite a few so it works, by and large.

Sending a go away page is probably fruitless, perhaps some way of logging and banning repeated attempts might be better, or some way of temporary banning, the harder they try the longer they wait. I do this on my firewall for certain services, works very well, stops dictionary attacks.
