MY_Form_Validation w/ spam and CSRF protection

It is just out of the box, and it is not set at all, even the first time the controller is loaded. When I am viewing the source of the form in the browser the value of the hidden field is empty, and it of course sends a validation error (this field is required...).

Code:

$this->form_validation->nonce();

if ($this->form_validation->run('user_details') == TRUE) { // validation has been passed
