[Bf-webcontent] Spam to the links section

[Compman]

One thing I would recommend (which would make spamming the system via an 
automatic program impossible unless they hack into MySQL) is to have the 
contact form generate an image with a number in it and the user is required 
to key in that number before Typo will accept the form. If the spam keeps 
coming through then someone is manually keying in these things. Just a 
suggestion.
