Does it still protect against spam? I tried gogle recaptcha 3 but it is too complex and not working

Yes, I am using it for all my forms and it protects 100% against spam bots that automatically complete forms

i have a small update....i got like 30 form submissions from spam...were they able to break the script? it started to happen ike 3 days ago, before nothing came through...did spammers invent a new bot?

Mine is working. However, I did implement an extra hidden field (style="display: none;"). I'm using this field to filter out bot submissions since automated bots often fill in hidden fields. Submissions with this field filled are ignored, which seems to help.

jrecasens avatar Nov 09 '24 19:11 jrecasens

but you have to create hdden field inside the form? So if the bot fills it how do you then filter those submissions out?

mikikuke avatar Nov 09 '24 20:11 mikikuke

Yes, you can add a hidden field to your form. Bots will almost certainly fill it out. In my case, I use a field named "city," which I don't actually need. I filter out submissions with this field filled on the server side using Python. However, you could also handle this filtering in JavaScript if you prefer (ask chatgpt).

jrecasens avatar Nov 09 '24 20:11 jrecasens

i see i can add few lines in the js that comes with this form....i used chatgpt before and it is not always reliable lol

mikikuke avatar Nov 09 '24 20:11 mikikuke

i added hidden field and some js and the spam still goes through...i dont know how they do it? I doubt it is manual submission

mikikuke avatar Nov 11 '24 00:11 mikikuke

I'm using it on several sites and have never had bot spam. However, web components also use this method and so it is possible that some bots got wise. You can try changing the custom tag name f-f to something else.

can i send you the code so you can check if something is malfunctioning?
