How can I prevent the influx of Spam emails originating from 'Eric Jones' through Webflow forms, and potentially notify the Webflow community about this issue?

Spam emails from "Eric Jones" through Webflow forms can be reduced by implementing form protections like reCAPTCHA and spam filters. You can also notify the Webflow community via the forum or support channels.

1. Enable reCAPTCHA on Webflow Forms

• Go to Webflow Project Settings > Forms.
• Scroll down to reCAPTCHA settings and enable it.
• Add a Google reCAPTCHA site key and secret key (generate them from Google reCAPTCHA).
• Save changes and publish your site.

2. Use a Honeypot Field

• Webflow automatically includes a honeypot field to block bots. Ensure it’s enabled in Project Settings > Forms.
• Bots that fill hidden honeypot fields get rejected, reducing spam.

3. Block Specific Email Addresses or Keywords

• Webflow does not have native email blocking, but you can use third-party spam filters like Zapier or email services (Gmail filters, Mailgun, etc.) to filter certain phrases like "Eric Jones."
• If using Zapier, set up a filter to ignore messages containing unwanted keywords before reaching your inbox.

4. Add Custom JavaScript for Manual Filtering

• Insert a custom JavaScript snippet in Webflow’s Page Settings > Custom Code area to detect and block known spam keywords before the form submission.
• For example, use JavaScript to block submissions containing "Eric Jones."

5. Report to Webflow & Notify the Community

• Submit a ticket to Webflow Support via their Contact Page.
• Post in the Webflow Forum (forum.webflow.com) to inform others and discuss solutions.
• If multiple users report the same spammer, Webflow may take further action.

Summary

To reduce "Eric Jones" spam in Webflow forms, enable reCAPTCHA, use the honeypot field, and create filters via third-party tools. Additionally, report the issue to Webflow and discuss it in the forum for broader awareness.
