Blocking Feedback Form Spam
-
Hi,
I’ve been getting an insane amount of spam on my feedback form (thewebways.net/submissions) that both comes through to my email and to the ‘messages’ part of the Feedback page.
I have to mark each submission as spam individually and was wondering if it’s possible to block certain email addresses or flag certain words or phrases? I know it’s possible for comments but it’s unclear if the comment backlist also blocks feedback.
Any help is greatly appreciated as sorting spam from genuine feedback is incredibly long-winded and frustrating.
Thanks,
Francesca

At this time, the comment blacklist does not affect Feedbacks.
Akismet, the anti-spam system, is a learning engine, so as long as you continue to mark them as spam, it will eventually adapt to the spam trends.

Thank you for your help – but can I please suggest that a feedback backlist is considered?! It’s an irritating waste of time having to individually mark 145 feedbacks as spam every week.
Thanks again,
Francesca
