[XB] Contact Us Spaminator

Compatible XF 2.x versions

License: Single Use License (may be used on one website)

Updates duration: 1 year ($10 Yearly Renewal)

Block automated spam submissions through the Contact Us form using hidden trap fields designed to catch spambots without affecting real users.

This add-on adds invisible honeypot-style fields to the XenForo Contact Us form. Legitimate visitors never see them, but many automated bots interact with them, allowing the system to silently detect and block spam submissions.

Bots receive a successful response while no message is sent, helping avoid detection by automated spam tools.

Features:

Bot Trap Contact Form Protection: Uses hidden fields and checkboxes to detect automated submissions.
Invisible to Real Users: No captchas, puzzles, timers, or extra steps for legitimate visitors.
Silent Blocking: Spam bots are blocked without obvious warnings or alerts.
Fake Success Response: Bots can receive a success message while no email is sent.
Detailed Logging: Record blocked submissions for later review.
Attempt Data Tracking: Log information such as IP address and submitted details.
Permission-Based Log Access: Control which user groups can view logs.
Testing Mode: Temporarily reveal hidden fields for testing purposes, with automatic timeout reset.
Log Page Result Limits: Configure how many records appear per page.
Works Alongside Other Measures: Can run with existing anti-spam tools if desired.
Lightweight & Independent: No third-party services, blocklists, or external databases required.

Useful for:

Spam Bot Defense: Stop automated Contact Us spam before it reaches your inbox.
Better Visitor Experience: Protect forms without frustrating real users.
Admin Visibility: Review patterns and sources of blocked attempts.
Low-Maintenance Security: Add protection with minimal setup.
