# Spam submissions

## What is spam form submission ?

**Spam form submission** is a type of automated abuse where bots flood your website with fake or malicious entries through :

* Contact forms
* Registration pages
* Comment sections
* Review forms

These spambots aim to :

* Send unsolicited messages and promotional links
* Harvest email addresses or personal data
* Disrupt your analytics and lead funnels
* Damage your brand reputation with fake entries

Spam form attacks are not only annoying, they can **cost conversions, server resources, and user trust**.
