Prevent contact form spam #42

Closed ghost closed 5 years ago

ghost commented 5 years ago

Per @DeniseColbert incoming form spam is occurring despite Sprout Invisible CAPTCHA implementation.

Investigate current CAPTCHA settings to reduce incidence of form spam after reviewing sproutinvisiblecaptcha.log runtime logs to determine why spam messages were allowed through.

Investigating why "Prevent duplicate submissions if a user hits submit more than once" was not enabled.

On FreeREG we use hidden fields to trap bots as well as speed of filling

@Captainkirkdawson The Sprout Invisible CAPTCHA plugin does something similar, though it's very limited in what it logs (e.g. doesn't log originating IP) and doesn't check IP/ASN against known spam originators - definitely room for improvement there.

Per discussion w/Bev, enabled "Prevent duplicate submissions if a user hits submit more than once" option for Sprout Invisible CAPTCHA plugin.

Investigating message blocking by matched string.
