Can Siphon be used to create online tests/quizzes?
Siphon is a form focused on text and multiple choice input. It is meant to be used to filter content and direct users. It cannot keep track of or add up numerical values. However for those who own the Configure stacks, Siphon does include an experimental feature that allows you to use the Configure stacks to perform those calculations.

Does Siphon have spam protection?
Siphon does incorporate measures to prevent spam bots from using the form. Although Siphon can indeed send email messages just like any web form, it does not use the HTML form element making it hard for bots to identify it. Slides also require human interaction in order to progress, which is not easily faked by bots. Additionally, you are able to create your own "captcha" tests to prevent non human users form ever reaching the submit slide.
Can Siphon save data to a database?
Siphon does not include any built-in methods for submitting data to a database. However for those familiar with serverside languages, data can be submitted via AJAX to any custom script.
