Hello All,

We are running DSpace 5.8 (XMLUI) and currently have a feedback form for users to send us questions/feedback etc.

https://researcharchive.lincoln.ac.nz/feedback

We got spammed from time to time. Has anyone implemented some sort of Captcha for your online repository feedback form? If so, what are you using? Is it difficult to implement?

Any thoughts/comment would be much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance,

Yanan

Hello Yanan,

We are also spammed and someone is using our institutional repository feedback to spam admin user, I am very much looking forward for solution to this.

Curious if you ever received info on this? We suffer from a similar issue. I tried this as a solution without any luck. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37397993/restricting-access-page-feedback-in-dspace

But ideally, we'd want to use recaptcha.
