I found that my netlify site attracts a lot of spam specifically from the same spammer/group. The messages always start with some variation of “Hi my name is Eric”.
Netlify seem to not really care after reporting it on their support forum. The spammer disables JS so no client side protection works. I’ve recently decided to (unfortunately) break the ability for JS disabled browsers to be able to submit the contact form. The form elements attributes are all wrong meaning the form won’t submit correctly. Instead, some JS on page load sets the attributes to the correct values. I will wait a while and see if this solves it.
While netlify does correctly mark all this as spam the fact is that legitimate messages sometimes can slip past these with false positives. So I have to check the vast amount of spam often.
