People who spam your lead generation forms need to be stopped. HubSpot should not create a contact record for spammers, instead, there should be a "report spam" action on the contact record and on the notification which, when selected, does a number of helpful, useful things: 1. It red-flags the email, name, and company as a "potential spammer". That way, anyone who may have this contact in their CRM will see the red flag. 2. if the spammer attacks other hubspot user's forms, the notification they recieve can be notified that the "lead" has been red-flagged as potential spam by other hubspot users. 3. Reporting spam immediately deletes the contact record from your account - poof! Furthermore: There should be an option when building forms with a toggle labeled: "Prevent red-flagged spammers from submitting this form". Enabling this toggle will immediately delete the submission if it was sent from an email that has been red-flagged as spam by other hubspot users.
