The message box uses "as you type" spam detection for both spam words and spam phrases with score weighting. The percentage of spam may go up and down as you type your message. Once possible spam goes above a certain level the traffic light will go amber. If the percentage goes beyond 100% the submit button will be locked out.
It was decided to employ a degree of anti spam on the new contact form as the previous website at it's worst was getting over two hundred spam messages per day.
