Hi @danielbenjamins,
Gravity Forms Zero Spam is designed to block spam bots by adding a hidden field that automated scripts typically fill out, flagging them as spam.
However, the spam you’re receiving is likely from more advanced bots that can detect and bypass these hidden fields or from human-assisted spam.
If spam is still getting through, consider implementing the following:
I hope this helps!
Best,
@danielbenjamins this looks identical to the spam submissions I’m getting. I’ve replaced reCAPTCHA with Cloudflare Turnstile and I’ve still been getting these come through. Out of curiosity are you using a full page caching plugin at all? I’ve been told that this could be the cause since it allows these more sophisticated spammers to re-abuse after a successful request. It’s something I’m still looking into and debugging now but figured I’d ask the question as I was actually looking into using this plugin to see if it helped but it looks like it isn’t if you’re still getting these come through with it enabled.
@liammcarthur For my own websites I use LiteSpeed cache, but I also got questions from clients who use different servers with no caching at all. They receive spam submissions with the exact same pattern.
Another example below. They are all random with the same pattern.

Using reCAPTCHA and Zero Gravity anti Spam plugin.
Honeypot was on, just changed it to not create an entry if spam is suspected. Also added the speed threshold for submission. Hope that works.

@dcoon Doesn’t look like the pattern of the spam submissions I’m still getting
