coastal_kits Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 My site is being bombarded with bogus product reviews at the moment which is driving me to despair. Is there any straightforward way of eliminating this? My somewhat limited understanding is that CAPTCHA is supposed to protect against automated spam?

i.ahmed Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I'm not aware of any other way without some modding, I'd probably disbale them for time being until someone chimes in with some tips: Store Settings > Features > Enable Product Reviews/Comments > Uncheck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webspinning Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Did anyone find a solution to this please? Running cc6.09 and still getting 100s of spam reviews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsmither Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 The problem is that Google's reCaptcha has been nullified. A procedure has been discovered that allows one to "cheat" and convince the reCaptcha of a success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if turning off the review option resolves or will they continue anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 The problem with the reCaptcha happened many moons ago. If Google has implemented or will soon implement a better system, I am not aware of it. Yes, in admin, switching off the review system does inhibit CubeCart from receiving and displaying reviews.

Dirty Butter Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 We've been fairly successful in keeping spam to a minimum with several hidden pieces of code that real people do not fill out. When filled out, the whole input is ignored. MailChimp has one of these in the newsletter signup form available for use on MC's site.
