Spam even on survey was created by davidclay123
Hi guys,
I've start using Lime Survey for a while. It is so helpful. However, I've got this problem, someone tried to prank me or whatever by spamming my survey with porno links and hateful messages. How can I block these people?
I'd really appreciate your help!
Many thanks!

Well, in my opinion you can't avoid this.
Who can prevent me - as a respondent - from writing nonsense, hateful messages, or whatever in a text box in an open survey?
This is an old dilemma in market research. Online surveys are cheap and quick, but ...
Face-to-face is - depending on the interviewer - of higher quality ... but expensive.
We have always spent a lot of days filtering out participants who

We have always spent a lot of days filtering out participants who
- always give particularly unique, quaint or witty answers
- answer every question with some ecological, esoteric nonsense
- always spread their worldview, no matter how the question was
