At Zibster, we prioritize your security. To help protect your forms and blog comments from fraudulent content, we've recently updated our global list of blocked spam terms.
Each Zibster account has a customizable restricted word list that helps prevent spam submissions. You can review and adjust this list in your control panel's SPAM PROTECTION settings.
For example, if you've blocked the word "Casino" (a common spam topic), and someone tries to submit a form containing the phrase "Casino themed event," the submission will be blocked due to the restricted term.
For additional guidance on blocking spammers individually, check out this article on blocking spammers.
STEP ONE
Log into your Zibster account and click on MY ACCOUNT from the left-side menu.
STEP TWO
Hover over the SETTINGS option at the top of the My Account control panel, and select SPAM PROTECTION from the dropdown menu.
STEP THREE
Scroll down past the Google reCAPTCHA section to locate the SPAM POLICY section. Here, you can configure the following options:
-
Blacklisted Domains and Email Addresses: Block specific email addresses or domains from submitting your forms.
Important Note: Be cautious when blocking domains, as blocking a common email domain (like gmail.com or yahoo.com) may prevent potential clients from submitting forms. - Blacklisted IPs: Block any IP address from submitting your forms.
- Restricted Words: Prevent any form submission containing specific words from being processed.
