Dealing with Spam in FluentForms

I'm not sure if there's a separate forum for FluentForms, so I'm posting this here. I've implemented the free version of FluentForms to test things out and I'm noticing a number of email solicitations, mainly SEO-related...so while it's not the typical form spam I frequently, I didn't have these problems when I was using the standard Kadence form feature that came stock with the template. Do the FluentForms bypass Akismet or is there another setting I'm missing or should turn on?

I use Turnstile on all of my forms. Works great! Check out these 2 docs for spam protection:

Also, take into account that they've recently launched an update to enhance the spam protection features, so maybe that would help you (didn't test it out yet but having similar issues with spam).

We have released a new update with a strong Token Based Protection, check it out, it should help.

Got it, I see the section for security and recaptcha and the others. I'm loving FluentForms and integration with FluentCRM, I will be purchasing the pro version.
