BSK Forms Blacklist

By BannerSky.com

Description

This plugin helps you avoid spam submissions from Gravity Forms, Formidable Forms, WPForms, Contact Form 7 and Forminator.

This is the free version and you can set it up to use a blacklist. If the field value contains / same as an item / keyword in the applied blacklist, the form submission will be blocked. It’s easy to use, you just need to create a blacklist, enable settings for the form and apply the blacklist to the form fields. You can set one or more fields to validate. Validation messages can be customized for the form.

The Pro version described here: https://www.bannersky.com/gravity-forms-blacklist-and-custom-validation/ can also be used as a whitelist, IP address, email or invitation code to validate visitor input. Support for blocking email domains, giving you the option to allow or block submissions instead of always allowing submissions. Supports blocking IP addresses by country or allowing only IP addresses from a certain country.

Nice plugin for Gravity Forms to block harassing creeps

January 24, 2022
Thanks for this free plugin, for the ability to mark an entry as spam by creating blacklists. 50 black lists with 100 items per each is quite generous and typically enough. All other functionality is PRO paid version, but still was helpful for my needs, as had a sicko lowlife client thief trying to get hundreds of dollars worth of our goods for free. PayPal closed his fake cheat claim and chargebacks and he attacked again and again and began pounding with dirty filthy emails that passed honeypot and other spam email plugins. Thanks to yours I could create a list with his 8 frequently used filth and block him from submitting. Thank you!

False advertising

Description says: Supports block IP address by country or only allow IP addresses in a country. Upon install, plugin says: This feature only available Pro version So don't advertise a paid feature that's not in your fee plugin here, without such a disclaimer.

Excellent Tool To Fight Spam

September 24, 2021
This plugin is an excellent easy tool to fight spam and scam website form messages. My clients were getting all types of messages trying to trick them into scams, and it wasted so much of our time dealing with it. Now we can stop them and it feels so good to have this stress and hassle gone. If you have a website contact form, this plugin is a requirement.

Helpful Developers!

August 25, 2020
Was seeking advice about the plugin, and support was swift to respond and concretely give me the information to make my decision. With the usage of VPN, and other external applications users have nowadays it's really a hard thing to combat, but plugins like this can be a piece of the puzzle to set yourself up with a proper solution for your GravityForms on your website.

Great Support and an essential plugin

March 4, 2020
This plugin has saved us considerable time with fending off hackers and spammers. our form entries are filled with legit submissions instead of junk ones. Support got back to me within hours and stayed with me until the issue was resolved (my db was not set to the proper encoding) and I was satisfied. 5 stars for sure.

Needs more work

This takes quite some time to set it all up with all the keywords that should trigger an error, but at the end turns out to be totally useless. I've got a blacklist applied on the message body field. I've got viag*a keyword set as one of the many keywords that should not be allowed in the text, case-insensitive and to 'contain' and I still get messages containing viag*a in the message body. If I can suggest, take a good look at the native wordpress comment blacklist. This is a solution that really works, unfortunately not with Gravity Forms. Your plugin would be a must-have if ontly it worked.
