Description
- Nextcloud-Version: 19.0.1
- Forms-Version: 2.0.2
I like to see this app evolving. My future intent is to use the app to create entry forms for sports events.
What I am missing is some kind of spam bot protection.
I don't like the Captchas and reCaptchas like those from Google.
A method used I do like is hashcash. I use a plugin like that in my Joomla sites. https://www.richeyweb.com/software/joomla/plugins/71-hashcash
Very useful. But my development skills are far too little to recreate or reverse engineer anything
However, similar protection would be an awesome feature.
Even though there is no connection (yet) with a mailer, it would at least keep me from unwanted entries.

Research direction
The issue proposes spam-bot protection for form submissions, preferring a hashcash-like approach over CAPTCHA or reCAPTCHA. No repository files, tests, or entry points are named, so first identify the form submission flow and existing protection boundaries. Done would require an agreed design and working protection that prevents unwanted entries without relying on Google CAPTCHA.
