For six months or so, spam arriving via Form has been unmanageable—almost every other minute. I tried everything, including not publishing the Submit button. To my surprise, the spam form submissions kept on coming. I tried country blocking in the RS Firewall, but it only works for an hour or so before they pop up from another country. I also tried, again, in the RS Firewall to block IP addresses; the same result: an hour's respite and then continuous spam. Google Captcha seems useless too.

Can I block forms that include HTTP and HTTPS in the subject and text fields?

Or block the Contact page from the bots – via robot.txt

I need step-by-step instructions to do either, as I am a designer, not a programmer.

Thank you.
