What is the Comment Blacklist?
A section in WordPress’s settings that enables you to block comments or contact form submissions that contain any one of your blocked keywords. It is an effective way to significantly reduce the volume of contact form spam, and should be used in addition to Akismet and ReCAPTCHA.
To Implement:
In WordPress, go to Settings > Discussion > Comment Blacklist > paste the following list and click Save Changes
IMPORTANT:
- NEVER use browser or device-related terms in this list, as they will block valid submissions. For example, iPhone, Android, Windows, WordPress, Mac, Apple, etc. should never be used.
- Word fragments will block any word containing that fragment. For example, if “crypto” is on your blocked keyword list, it will block submissions with the word “cryptocurrency”. For this reason, be careful with shorter (i.e. 3-letter) keywords as they may accidentally block longer words that contain them.
Suggestion:
Bcc yourself on all customer contact forms so you see what types of spam are coming in. Look for unique keywords in the spam emails that would NOT occur in a legitimate customer form submission and add only those to the blacklist.
