Gravity Perks Comment Blacklist 1.3.3
Wordpress Plugins Gravity Perks 4.8 (990 reviews)
Gravity Perks Comment Blacklist is a WordPress plugin developed by Gravitywiz, the team behind the Gravity Perks collection of tools for Gravity Forms. Gravity Perks itself is a framework that hosts a collection of small, focused add-ons for Gravity Forms, and Comment Blacklist is one of those add-ons. This particular perk gives site owners a way to apply WordPress's built-in comment blacklist filtering to any Gravity Forms field. Instead of just applying that filter to the comments section of your site, you can now use the same list of banned words, phrases, and URLs to screen form submissions. The plugin is lightweight and designed to sit quietly alongside your existing forms, doing its work during validation without adding any visible clutter to the form-building experience. It simply connects two systems that already exist in WordPress, so there is no new data to maintain and nothing extra for users to interact with.
The WordPress comment blacklist has been a core feature of the platform for years. Administrators maintain a list of words, names, email addresses, and URLs that are automatically flagged or rejected when they appear in comments. Gravity Perks Comment Blacklist takes that same list and applies it to any chosen field in a Gravity Form. When a visitor submits a form, the plugin checks the field's value against the blacklist entries during validation. If there's a match, the submission is treated exactly as a matching comment would be, so spammy or abusive content gets blocked before it reaches your inbox or database. This is particularly useful for contact forms, registration forms, application forms, or any public-facing form where you want to keep out spam messages, profanity, or unwanted links. The level of protection you already rely on for comments becomes available for any form you build.
The filtering follows the same rules WordPress uses for comments, so there's no new list to learn or maintain separately. You keep one central blocklist in the WordPress settings, and it applies everywhere across your site. If you already maintain a comment blacklist, your existing entries automatically become active in your forms. If you haven't used the blacklist before, you can start fresh and build a list that targets the specific junk your forms attract over time. The validation itself is straightforward: a matching word or phrase can block a submission, and longer entries like URLs or email addresses are handled the same way. You decide which fields get the check, meaning you can apply it to a single text field or spread it across an entire form. Text fields, textareas, and other standard input types can all be covered, while keeping other fields free of any filtering.
Because it ships as a Gravity Perk, the plugin is built to work smoothly with the larger Gravity Perks ecosystem. It requires the Gravity Perks plugin to run, so it follows the same upgrade and compatibility patterns as every other perk in the collection. That consistency means you don't have to learn a different workflow if you already use other perks; the experience matches what you're used to. Setup takes no more than a few clicks. You activate the perk, choose which fields you want validated, and the plugin handles the rest during form submissions. There are no separate menus to learn, no new admin screens to worry about, and no specialized configuration file to edit. The whole thing comes down to selecting the fields that should be checked against your blacklist. It's a focused tool that does one thing — applying WordPress's existing comment blacklist rules to your Gravity Forms fields — and it does that without complicating your workflow or adding overhead to your forms.
