Hello
I have problems with human spammers over the contactform. Is there a possibility to add this human spammers to a blacklist?
Thanks for your help.

Hi annette,
Yes, you can use an Event Switcher action on Submit and use code there to identify spammers, then ignore those that show positive. You can check emails and/or IP addresses against a list saved in an array or a database table; and you can look for 'suspicious' content in the form replies.
Note: If you are using a 'Contact' form then you will need to switch the form setting to 'Advanced' to get access to the actions.

Hi Bob
Many thanks for your answer. I'm not so friendly with Chronoforms 7 so far 😀 Can you tell me where and how I use the Events Switcher on Submit?
What do you mean with: "Note: If you are using a 'Contact' form then you will need to switch the form setting to 'Advanced' to get access to the actions." Is this "Advanced" or where can I find it?
I really appreciate your help.

Hi Annette,
Your image shows the overall ChronoForms settings. Please open your form, click the Settings Tag there and in the top box is a dropdown named Type. That is where you can set the form to be a basic Contact form or an Advanced form.
That said, sad to say, I don't see an Event Switcher in CFv7, the previous versions have had this option built in. I guess that you would need to use Custom PHP to filter the submissions. Or perhaps you can do that with the Validation settings???
