    More and more people are doing strang things on my form. I undrestand when they try to sell me some rubbish but I don't undrestand this new trick.

    Somebody or some machine is submitting form after form with a line of content like this:
    :confused:

    The line changes but the format remains the same, 3 meaningless strings. What is the meaning of these lines?

    What benefit do they get submitting these automatically? That's probably the answer. They provide 3 random strings to prevent getting picked up by automatic filters I guess... but it's a crappy system.
