Thanks for the contact, I'll be in touch with them.
What do you suggest as an alternative?
Ultimately, it doesn't matter if someone who is visually challenged can fill out the form as it is a form for services (real-life, in-person... not internet based) - the phone number is readily available as an alternative for anyone who cannot figure out the form for any reason, or for those who want to talk in person before sending in a form.

Is there a way to get email notifications sent directly to my inbox (as well as the dashboard of course)?

I've taken over this website so the admin email address is still the last guy who was in charge of it, and I'm still waiting for mine to be approved. Is the message forwarding one of the features that comes with being an admin?

(Sorry, I've not done a site with contact forms before!)

The good news is that it's not just you!

In the meantime, they recommend that you update your forms to include a required email address field as this tends to stop a majority of this type of spam from ever getting through in the first place. For any others that do make it through and are not marked as spam, please keep marking them as spam as it will help our team in fixing this issue.

Thanks for your help with this! Please let me know if you have any questions.

A blacklist won't prevent the spammer from making a comment or feedback, but it should immediately put the feedback in the spam queue where you can choose to bulk delete them permanently off your site.

If you have some specific examples, that would be useful too.

I think the issue is that the spam isn't in comments, it's feedback to forms I've posted. Even when I've gone back and turned posts into drafts, the spam just finds a different post to send feedback on.

I haven't found a way to manage feedback from forms as compared to comments on a post.

Sorry about the trouble, and thanks for reporting the issue.

If a lot of the spam comments have a common string of text, I suggest adding that string to your blacklist: http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/#comment-blacklist

You can use the comment author's name, IP address, web site, as well as the comment itself. Please make sure the word is not something contained in non-spam comments. For example, if you enter "press" as a blacklisted word, "WordPress" will match.

Also, please mark those comments as spam instead of just deleting. Our Akismet anti-spam engine tries to learn from a pattern of the comments that are marked as spam, and spammers are always trying new ways to get around our spam filters. Your help with this step is greatly appreciated!

Thank you and let me know if you have any questions.

It started out with one post, so I edited it and made it private. Then it continued to a second post, so changed both posts to drafts. Then the spam started coming from a 3rd post.

It has flooded my e-mail inbox with really lude material and the spam blocker is not doing it's job when it comes to feedback forms. I haven't had this problem with spam comments coming through the spam blocker.

I have WP twitter activated and it is great for tweeting about new or updated posts. However I have recently placed a form within a blogpost and have noticed that every time the form is completed a tweet is generated which includes some of the details of those completing the form.

This is not ideal.

I know I could deactivate WP Twitter but then I lose all the other integration.

Probably a simple fix but any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks
