Spam Form Protector Add-On
This is a Free Add-On and Enabled on All Websites
Overview
Brilliant Directories websites already include anti-spam measures like reCaptcha and honeypots, but spam is relentless. Bots always seem to find a way through a website’s defenses.

Features & Benefits

- No limit for how many keywords the admin can blacklist.
- Below is a list of recommended keywords to blacklist.
- Form submissions containing spam keywords will be blocked.
- Focus time on the business instead of dealing with spam.

Spammers will often submit messages using characters that look like English letters but are not (also called "homoglyphs"). It is recommended to block these characters on sites that use English exclusively.
NOTE: The admin can get very specific as to what to block by using double quotes ( " ).
e.g.: Block the word "sex" without the system blocking locations like Sexton, Iowa or Middlesex County, UK.
Block Disposable Email Addresses
Spammers will often submit messages or sign up using disposable email addresses. It is recommended to block these on sites experiencing higher levels of unwanted sign-ups.
Below is the default list of emails that we have found to be commonly used for spam form submissions:
0-mail.com, 027168.com, 0815.ru, 0815.ry, 0815.su, 0845.ru, 0box.eu, 0clickemail.com, 0n0ff.net, 0nelce.com, 0v.ro, 0w.ro, 0wnd.net, 0wnd.org, 0x207.info, 1-8.biz, 1-tm.com, 10-minute-mail.com, 1000rebates.stream, 100likers.com, 105kg.ru, 10dk.email, 10mail.com, 10mail.org, 10mail.tk, 10minmail.de, 10minut.com.pl, 10minut.xyz, 10minutemail.be, 10minutemail.cf, 10minutemail.co.uk, 10minutemail.co.za, 10minutemail.com, 10minutemail.de, 10minutemail.ga, 10minutemail.gq, 10minutemail.ml, 10minutemail.net, 10minutemail.nl, 10minutemail.pro, 10minutemail.us, 10minutemailbox.com, 10minutemails.in, 10minutenemail.de, 10minutenmail.xyz, 10minutesmail.com, 10minutesmail.fr, 10minutmail.pl, 10x9.com, 11163.com, 123-m.com, 12hosting.net, 12houremail.com, 12minutemail.com, 12minutemail.net, 12storage.com, 140unichars.com, 147.cl, 14n.co.uk, 15qm.com, 1blackmoon.com, 1ce.us, 1chuan.com, 1clck2.com, 1fsdfdsfsdf.tk, 1mail.ml, 1pad.de, 1s.fr, 1secmail.com, 1secmail.net, 1secmail.org, 1st-forms.com, 1to1mail.org, 1usemail.com, 1webmail.info, 1zhuan.com, 2012-2016.ru, 20email.eu, 20email.it, 20mail.eu, 20mail.in, 20mail.it, 20minutemail.com, 20minutemail.it, 20mm.eu, 2120001.net, 21cn.com, 247web.net, 24hinbox.com, 24hourmail.com, 24hourmail.net, 2anom.com, 2chmail.net, 2ether.net, 2fdgdfgdfgdf.tk, 2odem.com, 2prong.com, 2wc.info, 300book.info, 30mail.ir, 30minutemail.com, 30wave.com, 3202.com, 36ru.com, 3d-painting.com, 3l6.com, 3mail.ga, 3trtretgfrfe.tk, 4-n.us, 4057.com, 418.dk, 42o.org, 4gfdsgfdgfd.tk, 4k5.net, 4mail.cf, 4mail.ga, 4nextmail.com, 4nmv.ru, 4tb.host, 4warding.com, 4warding.net, 4warding.org, 50set.ru, 55hosting.net, 5ghgfhfghfgh.tk, 5gramos.com, 5july.org, 5mail.cf, 5mail.ga, 5minutemail.net, 5oz.ru, 5tb.in, 5x25.com, 5ymail.com, 60minutemail.com, 672643.net, 675hosting.com, 675hosting.net, 675hosting.org, 6hjgjhgkilkj.tk, 6ip.us, 6mail.cf, 6mail.ga, 6mail.ml, 6paq.com, 6somok.ru, 6url.com, 75hosting.com, 75hosting.net, 75hosting.org, 7days-printing.com, 7mail.ga, 7mail.ml, 7tags.com, 80665.com, 8127ep.com, 8mail.cf, 8mail.ga, 8mail.ml, 99.com, 99cows.com, 99experts.com, 9mail.cf, 9me.site, 9mot.ru, 9ox.net, 9q.ro, a-bc.net, a45.in, a7996.com, aa5zy64.com, abacuswe.us, abakiss.com, abcmail.email, abilitywe.us, abovewe.us, absolutewe.us, abundantwe.us, abusemail.de, abuser.eu, abyssmail.com, ac20mail.in, academiccommunity.com, academywe.us, acceleratewe.us, accentwe.us, acceptwe.us,
NOTES: This will only apply to email field types in forms. This list will only block exact matches for email domains.
We advise against blocking commonly used email domains, such as gmail.com, outlook.com, yahoo.com, hotmail.com, aol.com, hotmail.co.uk, etc.
Blocking Particular Email Addresses
Should a particular email address persistently spam the website, it should NOT be included in the disposable email addresses. Instead use the "Enter Blocked Keywords" section, using the blocked keywords list that email address will be treated as a spam trigger.
For instance: entering "[email protected]" would ensure this specific email address is blocked without impacting other addresses within the same domain.
Restore Recommended Block List
Restoring the block list will allow the admin to update the list so it includes all of the latest blocked spam keywords. Any updates to this list will be published along with our other Weekly Software Updates.
Front-End Use
When logging in as the admin of the website, the forms will show the exact reason the form is not submitting. This error message, outlining the reason why the form cannot be submitted will not appear for the end user. The members or users will see a shorter version of the error:
Admin | User or Member |
 |  |
The Spam Form Protector will work on the following forms:
- Sign Up - Paid Member
- Sign Up - Free Member
- Website - Newsletter Footer
- Website - Newsletter Sidebar
- Website - Lead Form - Get Matched
- Website - Contact Us
- Listing - Write Review
From now on, if a member or user enters any of the keywords that have been added to the block list, the system won't let the user submit the form.
The admin can easily see all of the details for any forms that were denied due to SPAM Form Protector in the Activity Tracker:
Additional Functionality
All sites comes with two Advanced Settings that can further enhance the functionality of this add-on.
1. SPAM Protection - Member Signup Form Submission Time
With this setting, the admin can specify the minimum number of seconds it should take to submit member signup forms once the page loads. All submissions that take less time will be blocked as SPAM. Set to 0 (default) to disable this functionality. Choose any other number to set the number of seconds.
System Variable: submit_time_security
2. SPAM Checker - Skip These Form Fields
With this setting, the admin can enter a comma-separated list of the field variable names that the built-in SPAM Checker should not check for SPAM.
System Variable: ignore_spam_fields
