Spam from "Ask A Question about this product"

I just started seeing 10 spams a day from the Ask A Question about this product button. Is there a way to have a capcha or something there to prevent this?

I want customers to be able to ask questions, but these spams are getting ridiculous.

Thanks,

Kirk

You can turn ReCaptcha on in Config/Shopfront - "Use ReCaptcha for recommendation and ask a question". You must also have Joomla's ReCaptcha plugin enabled and your public/provate keys entered.

Thanks Jenkinhill, I will do that. I am starting to get 10-15 spams a day totally unrelated to the site. I installed Cleantalk yesterday and that didn't help.
