Are you still getting the spam submissions at this time or did you do some manual fix?

Oleg Isonen · Answer

we haven't added it yet, so it should be the same

Ronald from 360Creators · Answer

Okay 🙁 I'll be taking down my website for the time being

Oleg Isonen · Answer

is it that bad?

Oleg Isonen · Answer

Btw did you see we added an option to specify email where the form is being sent to?

Oleg Isonen · Answer

you could for the time being specify an email account so they don't spam your personal one

Oleg Isonen · Answer

is that a viable workaround?

Ronald from 360Creators · Answer

Every two days two emails, pretty distracting.I don't see that option no.

Maybe later some baserow/airtable form or something, no idea if that's going to solve it.

What's the current situation with captchas etc?

Oleg Isonen · Answer

Luke AKA Shoot Your Bricks · Answer

Oh nice

Oleg Isonen · Answer

some spam is unavoidable though, with AI it is technically possible to overcome any recaptcha, its just expensive to them

Luke AKA Shoot Your Bricks · Answer

Yeah I'm sure. I haven't actually used the forms yet. There wasn't a problem, it was just preventative
