Yeah, I got distracted by trying a similar inline SVG captcha, as it has a lot more opportunity for obfuscation, as can define fonts/glyphs etc. The CSS could be more difficult. Looking at add-note.php, something simple like adding a hidden form field with some random code, and ensuring it's the same value on submission would aleast prevent spammers directly POST'ing to it.
