Dexter_X Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 Hi, Maybe it is already possible, but I'm looking for a captcha on the "contact us" form, only for guests. We've let the contact us form available for guests because it is the only way a user that cannot log in anymore can contact us in order to get some tech support. But we're beginning to receive also some SPAM through it. So if anyone has a solution, I'm interested ! Thankyou, D

CoffeeCake Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 Confirming that the addition of this plugin completely stopped that nonsense. Dexter_X 1
Dexter_X Posted April 28, 2020 Author Posted April 28, 2020 Hi guys, Thankyou very much, it seems exactly what I was looking for !
Dexter_X Posted April 28, 2020 Author Posted April 28, 2020 (edited) so... I've installed it... You can choose the group for which the captcha is displayed... except for guests... (!!!???) Edit : sorry, guests are always set to get the captcha and it works ! Thank you alll ! Edited April 28, 2020 by Dexter_X DawPi 1
Dexter_X Posted May 8, 2020 Author Posted May 8, 2020 Hello again, The captcha is active but I still receive SPAM through the contact us form (!?). I had to disable it for guests... Is it possible there could be some kind of bug allowing spammers to fake send the form without having validated the captcha ? 😕
Irina Frolova Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 the same here, tons of spam inspite of plagin
ebrire Posted September 10, 2020 Posted September 10, 2020 Same thing for me, I definitely endorse the need for something stronger than the checkbox, it's not enough to deter spammers at this point. How about bringing back the cryptic letters and numbers that the user is forced to type? That seemed to be good enough to stop robots.

There are 3 options for CAPTCHA for you to choose from in ACP -> Members -> Spam Prevention -> CAPTCHA tab. Whichever is selected there is used throughout your community where CAPTCHA is necessary. Additionally, reCAPTCHA v1 by Google was deprecated (the one with the letters/numbers you had to type) so was removed quite some time ago.
Malwarebytes Forums Posted September 12, 2020 Posted September 12, 2020 We were getting over 100 spam posts per day a couple years ago. We didn't use it for Guests as you intend here, but none the less it helped cut down the spam posts greatly. Now we may get a dozen or less per week. We used Clean Talk for it. It used to be in the Marketplace but doesn't seem to be anymore for some reason, but it is working well on the latest 4.5.2 version. https://cleantalk.org/ Takes a few days to get it setup and managed but once you've taken the time to "train" it the program turns out to be one of the best we've used before.
