Getting badly hammered with spam reviews in Cubecart 6 after upgrading from Cubecart 4 which we never had a problem.

Did a bulk delete using email of spammer and it deleted all of our reviews ever. So doesn't seem to work as stated :-(

Just tried the same using ip and same thing deletes all reviews. So neither option works as stated at the moment.  :-(

​This should have been fixed in 6.0.4. There was a bug in the reCaptcha processing in that version. Also please make sure you use the new Google reCaptcha vs old.

Yes they are correct and in there correct key spots. Once New reCaptcha is enabled only "Verify you are a human" appears with no tick box or anything else.

This is the same on the real website and a local served test version we did testing with.

Hi Al, To get new recaptcha working with Kurouto skin, we had to copy up the content.recaptcha.head.php file from foundation as well as well as the foundation file you mentioned above, and also include the text <script src='https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js'></script> at the end of the header section of main.php .  All works now.  Thanks Joe

The new recaptcha has not slowed the spam reviews at all and is becoming very annoying at around 500 a day. But we've never have had bots register onto the shop. And never had the review bot problem on our long running cubecart 4 shop.

It would be great to have 2 new tick boxes in admin.

1st to disable the new review emails.

2nd one to force reviewers to sign in to review.

After reading the related posts on reviews on this forum this would seem to help most users problems with spam bot reviews.
