    Hello @nysl, sorry to be a bother. We still have a lot of form spam coming through, with empty comment fields due to a keyword triggering the filter, which clears only that field, but the form is submitted to the website owner anyway. Ideally, any form with spam needs fully blocked and nothing delivered. Isn’t this the purpose and function of this plugin?

    I didn’t include a link where this issue affects all my hosted websites.

    Hello,

    No, the purpose of this plugin is to detect spam visitors through text matches.

    If the bot submits empty body texts, then you have to block it from the “Contact Form 7” settings, make it required or even put a minimum character limit.

    See > https://contactform7.com/max-min-length-options-and-character-count/

    Thanks,

    Hello, @nysl, yes, I already know all those points and how Contact Form 7 works. The question still stands that wasn’t answered specifically. I understand the plugin detects spam content through text matches, but if spam is detected, are you saying that this plugin does not fully block the spammed form from completing its delivery? Thanks.

    I also wanted to point out that the logs are not recording what is being blocked as it once did. The below is all I see in the logs since November 11th.

    That issue solved with Version 1.1.9?
