Forms Upgrade: New Form Spam Filters

When people contact you through a form on your website means spam sometimes makes it through. Our original form filter kept spambots from automatically sending spam, but real people have recently been overriding it to send their spam.

So this last week we programmed our very own Form Spam Filtering software and have it now installed on every OCS account. Since activating it, we've seen it catch 85% of spam without one false positive. Every form submission you receive now has a link to report it as spam so we can improve our filters to reduce the spam that makes it through. With the spambot filter still in place, your form submissions should be much more accurate.
