Hello all. I have a problem with a form of mine. It is a contest where people sign up and names will be entered into a raffle draw. Some people decided they would increase their changes by signing up 60+ times. I thought that formidible would stop duplicate entries (there is an error message that says “We’re sorry. It looks like you’ve already submitted that.” Is there a setting somewhere to stop these duplicate entries from being entered into the database?
Also, how do I delete duplicate entries which already exist in the database? (The entries are exact copies, all fields identical). Thanks!

There is a duplicate entry filter with that message. It prevents entries from being created, but it's only considered a duplicate if the are submitted with the same IP and within 5 minutes of eachother. So, once they are already submitted, there's not an automatic way of finding and deleting duplicates. To prevent people from submitting the same form multiple times in the future, I'd suggest checking the box to "only allow one entry for each IP".
