TURN ON GOOGLE reCAPTCHA

At the top of the Spam Protection page, you’ll see your Google reCAPTCHA settings.

If reCAPTCHA is not yet enabled, we highly recommend turning it on to help automatically block bots and spam.

SPAM POLICY SETTINGS

In this section, you can manually block spam submissions by setting up:

Blocked Domains & Email Addresses
Stop submissions from specific email addresses or entire domains.
⚠️ Be careful: Blocking a domain like gmail.com will block everyone using a Gmail address.
Blacklisted IP Addresses
Block submissions from specific IP addresses known for spam.
Restricted Words List
Block any form or comment submissions that contain specific words.
(Example: casino, lottery, bitcoin, etc.)
➡️ Tip: If reCAPTCHA is enabled, you may not need to add many manual blocks unless you’re seeing issues.

ADDITIONAL SPAM PROTECTION OPTIONS

You can also customize a few more settings:

GDPR Policy Checkbox Label
Customize the text for your GDPR compliance checkbox on forms.

Backup Privacy Policy
Store a backup copy of your Privacy Policy here for quick access.

Marketing Emails Opt-in
Allow users to opt in to receive marketing emails when they submit forms.

By managing these settings, you can reduce spam and improve the security of your website forms.
