Spam Chronoforms 8

sylwekb 26 Feb, 2025
Hello
Is anyone having a problem with spam even with anti-spam enabled in Chronoforms 8? How can you be even more secure? I'm from Poland and spam comes from US IP addresses. Attached are screenshots of what it looks like for me.Thank you

Hi sylwekb

Spammers usually use some automated script to send spam, if you can interrupt it then you should be ok

Please add the Honeypot field to the form and adjust the "minimum time to submit", you can set it to "5", so 5 seconds will be needed before the form can be sent successfully

Let me know the results

I've got it set up. Only in my case, as I have shown, the time for adding subsequent spam messages is longer. Is there any way to block a user's IP address or email address from chronoforms?

Ok, but make sure the time is short enough or quick users may not be able to send the form, automated scripts will take 1 second or even less

do they submit from a specific IP or email address ?

I think the honeypot should stop them anyway, please give it sometime and let me know
