Food for Thought: End Website Form Spam
As part of our 2009 feature enhancement plan, Point2 Agent now provides spam protection for online forms!
Captcha requires users to enter in the letters and numbers shown in an image before the form can be submitted through your website, thereby preventing spammers from submitting their messages through your site. Using an example from our Point2 Agent Education website's Feedback Form, this is what the user will see:
The Captcha forms will be part of the main forms that are part of your Point2 Agent website, including Contact Forms, Feedback Forms, and Online Reports. You have the control to determine whether you will require users to submit the Captcha information or not. By default, this feature is turned off.
To enable spam protection, follow these steps:
1. Log in to your Online Office and go to 'Edit Website'.
2. Click the 'Settings and Disclaimers' tab.
3. Choose 'Change Site Spam Settings'.
4. Enable your website's Captcha.
5. Changes are automatically saved.
Enjoy this new tool in Point2 Agent!
