## Description

Stop wasting time sifting through garbage and start focusing on submissions that
need attention.

The SpamPatrol plugin will automatically detect other supported form plugins that
you are using and integrate with them to process spam submissions based on your 
desired settings.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s a bot or human abusing your contact form, SpamPatrol
will analyze the submissions and determine whether it’s spam.

Avoid playing whack-a-mole with unruly spammers that use a wide range of IPs and
domains. SpamPatrol works based on understanding the message submitted to catch 
all the things that your typical website visitor or app user won’t do.

## Installation

 1. Add the plugin from within WordPress or by uploading the zip archive
 2. Activate the plugin
 3. Supported form plugins will need any fields to be analyzed indicated using special
    attributes. For details can be found at https://spampatrol.io/docs/wordpress
 4. Under the plugin settings you can indicate your desired spam score threshold (default
    50) as well as what you would like to do with the spam submissions.

Developers are also able to use the included **`spampatrol_analyze`** helper function
for any custom integration that needs it.

    ```
    `php
    ```

<?php

spampatrol_analyze( array(
 ‘content’ => ”, // Text content to be analyzed (required)‘
visitorIp’ => ”, // IP address of the end-user/visitor (optional) ‘expectedCountries’
=> array( ‘US’, ‘CA’,’GB’, ), // optional list of ISO 639-1 counties to indicate
where submissions are expected to originate from ‘expectedLanguages’ => array( ‘
en’, ‘es’, ), // optional list of ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 languages to indicate the language
expected for **content** ) ); `

## FAQ

### How are false positives handled?

We spend a lot of time ensuring that the detection accuracy is as high as
 possible
but there’s always a small chance of a false positive depending on where you set
your threshold. In general we recommend against discarding messages entirely. Instead
messages should be sent to a spam only address or placed in your Spam/Junk folder
and reviewed periodically.

### Does SpamPatrol replace CAPTCHAs and honey pots?

Yes. If you are looking for a cleaner form experience to save end-users time
 and
frustration SpamPatrol can replace other mechanisms. It’s also fine to use it in
addition to existing mechanisms you have in place.

### Which form plugins does it integrate with?

The SpamPatrol plugin currently supports Contact Form 7, Ninja Forms and
 Formidable
Forms.
