aproved but really spam

Hello.

Thank you for marking requests. We’ll analyze them and will change the filtering.

As for allowed search requests you marked as spam. Those are requests from search crawler bots that use GET-requests with spam content.

If you want you can forbid access to your website search results for bots.
Google recommends the following:
> To prevent most search engine web crawlers from indexing a page on your site, place the following meta tag into the section of your page:
> <meta name=”robots” content=”noindex”>
> To prevent only Google web crawlers from indexing a page:
> <meta name=”googlebot” content=”noindex”>

Please keep in mind that it should be applied to the search results only, not to the whole website.
We have a special article about this issue too here: https://blog.cleantalk.org/how-to-protect-website-search-from-spambots/`

Thank you everyone. My spam is way down with blocking the bad countries. Still getting the /?s=mortgage broker ones but maybe those will slow down at some point.

Cheers to all of you!
