Improve honeypot anti-spam
The default implemented honeypot is not really effective, maybe for spam that is very basic.
It would be better to disguise it more and do not give it an id/class/name like 'frm_hidden' or 'frm_verify'. Or even better make this editable per form?For spammers it is currently very easy to adapt to this, so at the moment the built-in honeypot is quite useless.

Quite agree! Implement this on all client sites and one of my sites has just confirmed that one of their Forms is generating a lot of spam. Around 10 every minute from Russia. Have now added reCaptcha and that has fixed the issue. Their version of Honeypot would appear to be badly thought out! Shame. Other than that, nice product.
