Is it possible to block forms being sent with specific domain suffixes to speed up the filtering process? For example, most spam we receive comes from the .ru suffix.

Additionally, is it/can it be possible to prevent a form being submitted if it contains specific words or phrases such as ‘\*\*bleep\*\*’ ‘\*\*bleep\*\*’ or profanities?

I am here to support the blocking certain terms in open for fields. This includes profanities. Our form fills goes to a slack channel that we have and these terms show to the whole company if we don’t block them.

With suffixes being so open now, one’s such as .edu or .org would also be helpful.
