If your form is being sent content that you'd like to avoid, you can prevent these submissions from appearing in your form inbox using Formspree's [Form Rules](/articles/advanced-features/form-rules/). Enabling a blocklist will mark your submission as spam, and prevent email notifications from being sent and plugins from being dispatched.

## Setting a blocklist on your form

1.  On the form that you want to set up rules for, visit the **Routing** tab then click **Add Rule**.![Screen\_Shot\_2021-01-11\_at\_4.26.34\_PM.png](/images/zendesk/0074fc2a8a922f17.png)
2.  Set the **Do** column to _Tag_ as _Spam_. Then change the _When_ condition to _When a field contains a keyword_ and choose the appropriate field. When a submission is made that includes that keyword, the submission will automatically be tagged as spam.![Screen\_Shot\_2021-01-11\_at\_3.53.18\_PM.png](/images/zendesk/5fdbff3d88b99d1c.png)

You should repeat this step for any additional keywords that you wish to block. Any submissions that are filtered by the blocklist will show up in the spam tab in the submissions table.
