I'm having trouble with manual spam on my content form despite having reCAPTCHA and two honeypot fields set up. It worked for about six months after I no-indexed the contact page, but now the spam has come back even stronger. My form collects the spammer's IP address, phone number, email, and what seem like fake names. What are some ways I can use this information to deal with them?

Dealing with manual spammers is tough! You could report them to their ISP, but don't try to take personal action; that info might be fake. Focus on prevention instead. Consider implementing tools like fail2ban or CloudFlare, and check if you're disallowing URLs in your comment fields. That can help reduce spam significantly.
Ahh. How did I fail to think of disallowing URL? Thank you.
