Possible to filter new leads based on whether a form field contains a value?

Is there a way to filter a new lead by deleting (or avoid creating) it if a form field contains a value?

I have a website that contains a contact form tied to my sales department, and receive an inconvenient amount of spambot submissions. I was able to use this type of filter logic to disable email notifications. But now I'd like to take it a step further and prevent spam submissions from being added to my lead database in the first place. Alternatively, I'd also be okay with sorting them into a different grouping/subgrouping where I can then review them before deleting.

Hi Andrew, 

We can't resist a lead to enter the lead database. Though you could assign them a negative lead score to bucket them into junk leads and delete them later.

Hope this helps!

As you and Alok mentioned, just use the value or field you define for your honeypot to filter spam submissions then add them to a separate list or SFDC campaign.  From there it would be easy to either review all the leads manually, or just use a second batch campaign to automatically delete your junk leads on a daily or weekly basis (I would only do this if you are 100% certain all the junk leads you're capturing are in fact junk).
