MY_Form_Validation w/ spam and CSRF protection

[eluser]mighty_falcon[/eluser]
Yes, I extended the form helper and using the new form_open function.

I also removed all the other validation rules just to test it out and I am still getting an empty value for the nonce field

Code:

<input type="hidden" name="nonce" value="" />

which ends up producing the "The Nonce field is required" validation error when I submit it.
