Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Gecka Antispam

Yes, as long as the cache keeps a page less than 8 days, the default maximum age of a form: a cached form carries the time it was cached at. With a longer cache, raise the "Maximum age of a form" setting, or set it to 0 for no limit.

No. The login and lost password forms have no minimum delay by default.

No. The honeypot and the timestamp stop the bots that post without loading the form, or fill in every field. A bot that reads the page first can get past them: the statistical filter is there for those. So is a bot posting to the submissions route of the REST API of Gravity Forms, which skips the form, once that API is enabled in the settings of Gravity Forms: leave it off unless something needs it. Comments and logins made through the REST API or XML-RPC carry no form either and are not checked; a pingback or a trackback, sent by another site, is rated by the statistical filter alone.

Yes. gecka_antispam_fields( 'my-form' ) prints the fields inside the form, gecka_antispam_check( 'my-form', $text, $names ) checks what it posts and tells whether to refuse it. The developer documentation explains both, the hooks a comment or login form written by hand has to fire, the filters and actions, and what the plugin stores. Contact Form 7 warns "Unsafe email config is used without sufficient protection". Contact Form 7 shows it for a form whose mail goes to the address the sender typed, unless its own reCAPTCHA or Turnstile is active. Gecka Antispam leaves the warning out of the forms it protects; save the form again for Contact Form 7 to check it anew. Keep such a mail to an acknowledgement that repeats nothing the sender wrote: the checks stop bots, not a person.

Its tables, refused submissions, options, scheduled events, meta and its directory under uploads, background tables included, are removed, on every site of a network. The reason it gave in the spam log of a Flamingo message, or in the spam note of a Gravity Forms entry, belongs to those plugins and stays.
