I have integrated a form into my website vektordesigner.de. According to the Sitely developers, this form already has spam protection built in. Unfortunately, it doesn’t really work.
I often receive emails with the following content:
Any suggestions on how we can get around this? A server-side captcha solution for the Sitely form would be desirable so that it remains GDPR-compliant.
More likely, spammers evolve all the time. Happy to help if you want to get in touch, we can try to troubleshoot it, and perhaps detect that specific bot.
I always use the latest version of sitely to publish and update my sites.
I don’t think that this was a joker sending this form, because I get those form transmissions more often.
I’ve also had some of these “messages” through the Sitely contact form on my website. One every few days. I have just been deleting them. Mine have just been a string of letters as those above. I assumed some kid in their mum’s basement with nothing better to do. More sinister?
If anybody else is seeing increased spam, we have a tentative solution for it and would love to test it with your contact form, because we aren’t getting spam on our own contact form. Please get in touch at feedback@sitely.app and we’ll set you up.
