 * Hello,
    My rsvp form is getting hit with spam entries. I have enabled RSVP Captcha
   in the settings panel but no captcha shows on my form (yes I did flush site cache
   and browser cache).
 * How do I bulk delete the spam entries from my event? There are almost two hundred
   of them, too many to individually click to remove from the rsvp report screen.
   I am able to do MySQL queries if I have the right command. I want to zap them
   all including legit ones.
 * Thank you,
    Jim Batchelder

 * You can see the reCaptcha at work on some of the RSVPMaker.com sample posts. 
   Not sure offhand what’s interfering with it working on your site.
 * RSVPMaker registrations are stored in a custom table, which will be called wp_rsvpmaker
   if you haven’t changed the wp_ prefix on your site. You can query by post ID 
   if a particular event got lots of spam entries.
 * Just a sad fact that spam robots will attack anything that looks like a form.
   Personally, if the spam level is tolerable, I usually keep it simple because 
   I want to make it easy for people to register — but I understand how fast it 
   can get out of control. ReCaptcha is one of the less intrusive methods.

 * Thanks for the quick response David, and for the directions on where to clean
   these out of the database. Regarding the missing captcha I’m guessing I have 
   a theme conflict, it’s a really old theme that is overdue for replacement. It
   looks like you update the plugin very regularly and I appreciate your intention
   to keep it simple to use. Perhaps the wish list for future updates could include
   Akismet integration and a spam honeypot? I prefer the behind-the-scenes filtering
   over the often frustrating captcha puzzles. I run Gravityforms on 50 or so sites
   with these two features enabled and I’ve literally never had a spam entry get
   through. Unfortunately a bot has already sent a couple hundred submissions to
   this form today. I removed the notification email to spare the site owner any
   more viagra ads but that’s not a long-term solution.
