Spam Slayer for Gravity Forms

Spam Slayer for Gravity Forms is a lightweight cleanup utility for Gravity Forms that helps you detect, review, mark, and remove spam-like submissions already stored in your database. Instead of blocking spam during submission, the plugin works as a post-submission analysis tool using regex-powered pattern matching. Perfect for:

• Bot attack cleanup
• Fake name detection
• Spam audits
• Bulk spam removal
• Regex-based moderation workflows
