Form submission spam is passing through. Most bots are using Bit.ly links so can you add an option to block bit.ly links or option to block certain links in general?

Thanks.

Hi Jonathan,

That’s a great suggestion for a feature. We should definitely add an option to block short links.

You can make feature requests here:

Are you using Contact Form 7?

We’re looking into making sure we support those forms.

@bhadaway

I mainly use Elementor Form Builder but also use CF7. The link spam generally occurs on my Elementor forms.

Okay, concerning Elementor then, I recommend posting the suggestion on https://github.com/Trumani/stop-spammers/issues so that it doesn’t get lost in the shuffle.

Thanks
