Block form submission based on keywords in fields

[markko]

Hello Ally,

We have been spammed badly. Over 100 emails in the past hour. Is it possible to add a filter to block a form submission based on content of a field.

For instance in the name field we have received

Alice want to meet you! Click Here: http://bit.do/fSGXu?kvoc9

If we could block bit.do or http://bit.do/f* or something along those lines we can actively stop this spammer.

This is quite urgent so your help appreciated.

Regards

I’ve managed to implement a homegrown captcha using the website here;

Working a treat.

For anyone else looking the process is listed here

Using a custom CAPTCHA

The only problem I have found, is that it doesn’t show a warning message above the field if the captcha has been entered incorrectly on my form, so there’s a problem somewhere.

Hi Ally,

I needed to add “element-wrapper” to that particular style tag and that worked perfectly!

thank you
