Hi Guys, 

Reading through docs for Anti-Spam Bad Words [https://www.akeeba.com/documentation/admin-tools/waf-bad-words.html] It's unclear how this works and where the bad words are blocked, as I was hoping this could be used to help us reduce spam within an enquiry form with certain words

I have added some bad words for testing with a contact enquiry form. However, the form is being submitted with the bad words.
Do you know if anti-spam bad words will work this way?

Testing with 3rd party component 'Breezing Forms'.
