If I enter nothing in the blacklist area, my form works correctly, but when I add _any_ keyword the form is always rejected. I’m trying to recect anything that looks like a link, so I’ve tried keywords like html, and www
I’m also running an older version of EE 1.5.2, could that be the problem?

I looked at the code a little and it appears that the blacklisted keywords should be entered one per line and the code then parses the keywords by \n and \r into an array.  If I’m wrong about the syntax of the keywords, please let me know.  Maybe I’m just using the product incorrectly.

Django,

I think the issue you are having is due to the fact that you are wanting to prevent links. Natively Freeform has hidden fields that can contain the keywords you’re banning, since they are links. View the source of your page and have a look at all the fields, if you find your keywords in any of the fields, that’s your issue. Freeform checks all fields for banned words. If you find this to be the case on your site we can look into some work-arounds.

Mitchell,

Thank you for the reply.  I looked at the “view source” and you are correct about the hidden variables that contain values with the keywords I’m trying to eliminate.

Here is a link to the form:
http://www.rauenhorst.com/

It’s just a very simple form where the user can enter two fields. It’s the second text field that’s getting filled with porn links.

I’d definitely like to restrict the text in the text box so no links can be entered. Or if you have any ideas or workarounds that would accomplish this better I definitely could use you help.  I’m not that experienced in php and regex to go into the code and change it, but if you can tell me what needs to be changed I could probably try it.  I doesn’t make sense to me that values for the hidden variables are checked against the spam list, would it be possible to remove that condition from the code?

Thanks,

Dean

What do you suggest for a work-around?

I’m afraid I don’t have a work-around for you.

Interesting information. I would love to know too if it would be possible to remove that condition from the code? If someone could tell us it would be great. Thanks.

I have a semi-workaround it doesn’t prevent all urls but blocks any which are coded (stops most), place these characters in your blacklist :

=
>
<
[
]
