Hi, sorry i'm here in Germany🙂 DSGVO - no chance for google ReCaptcha. We are not allowed to run Recaptcha. Where is the honeypot field gone? any other ideas? even in my own website i get human spam. some of my customers get them too.

Answer
you can use the "security image" field, the honeybot will not block "human" spam

Nothing else can be done, do they post from the same IP address ?

I agree with rbock that adding more pages to the form may reduce spam but it depends on your form of course.

And is it real that in Germany you can not add reCaptcha ? where is the link to this law ?

Well, you can, just not without being asked. And I think that's a good thing.
