You can limit the total number of submissions, but not the rate. You could always use some jQuery to hide the submit button for a period. Unless your site is wildly popular, if you're getting that many submissions it's probably a bot of some kind and a client side solution wouldn't defeat that.</p> <p>Have you thought about trying the "anti-spam honeypot" option in the form settings? This should defeat most bots and still be unobtrusive/invisible to normal users.</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Form_Settings" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Form_Settings</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/rate-limiting#post-53821 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 22:31:44 +0000 Watchman Monitoring 53821@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks for the reply Kevin</p> <p>If I were getting lots of spam, I'd certainly consider it.</p> <p>As it is, I get next to no "bad" submissions.</p> <p>I would very much like an option to say "only allow X submissions a minute"</p> <p>and I'd default it to 3, with a note teling my web guest that they'll need to try to re-submit in X minutes.</p> <p>Thanks </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/rate-limiting#post-53820 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 22:28:34 +0000 Kevin Flahaut 53820@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Have you tried one of the Captcha options on your form? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/rate-limiting#post-53811 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 19:10:04 +0000 Watchman Monitoring 53811@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Our site was just hit with 300 form submissions in a 2 minute period</p> <p>How can we have Gravity Forms limit submission requests? </p>
