I tried commenting out the subscription form for volunteer-supporters [1],
as Leon suggested, yet I'm still getting some subscription requests. How
are these bots sending through their requests?

Also, as someone mentioned in another email, the regex "^.*$" is for
subscription, but not for *subscription requests*

Has anyone had luck with any other method?
