I sense a lot of nativity in this post. For starters using GET just means that once one spam user creates a rule for your site, they can spam it until you change the variable names in the query string. Using JS to submit a form, whilst should be fine, but I STILL encounter people without JS, and personally without a JS fallback I think it's just bad coding.

A simple honeypot with some CRSF tokens would reduce spam, if you want to beat spam altogether, then invest some time in a captcha, but expect it to come at the user's expense.
