Frequently Asked Questions about Forms
Spam via Contact Forms
We are getting a lot of spam even through our contact form is protected with recaptcha v3. So people are putting the details in by hand. Is there anyway of blocking e-mail addresses or IP addresses via a website form?
Re: Spam via Contact Forms
You cannot block email addresses, but you can prevent URLs from being posted.
Also, you can enable 'server sided validation' for extra input validation (if you use form validation).

Re: Spam via Contact Forms
For whats its worth, I've had a lot of spam bots get passed all the different versions of Google ReCaptcha tools provided by WWB.
I went back to using the old "Random Question Captcha" Extension. Most of the Spam has ceased. I may try out the server side validation now that I see its an option.
Keep up the good work Pablo!

First you will need to setup standard (JavaScript) validation.
Then as an extra step you can also enable server sided validation.
It uses the same checks as on the client (browser) side. So, all input is checked twice, just in case the spammer has disabled JavaScript.
