RS Feedback Option Used for Spam?
I wouldn't expect to stop all spam from your RS site(s). It's just not as easy as you might think. Even many of today's anti-spam and anti-bot measures have been circumvented by the most devious of bots. People are even paid to sit and surf sites and send spam.
I've recently implemented a new way of preventing spammers from easily sending spam through my form on my non-RS site. It's similar to the measure used here at RS, except that the calculation is written out on the page in word form rather than numeric. So far, I have not received any new spam through my form. ^_~.
The best thing you can do is set up some rules in your email program to try to sort the spam out. Or perhaps you need to set up a separate email address for your RS site, and then deal with it from there. 3 a day isn't bad, anyways! I get 50+ spams a day through some of my email accounts.

To be honest, I wish the Rubberslug spam I got was this sort!
I open the messages up to find porno links and lewd comments - always from different senders.
If it wasn't for the genuine interest in my gallery - I'd block Rubberslug emails all together. T_T

Yeah, I get porn links and other gross stuff sent through my RS feedback. I'm not sure why they do it, since I never click on their links. Yet they still continue to waste their time.
I would like to see a system where only registered users can contact others about their sites. That would at least put another barrier between the normal people and the spammers/scammers, since e-mail confirmation would elimate most of them outright.
