 * A form just got spammed with over 100 submissions.
    The sensitivity was set at.
   5, so I just changed it to .8 to see if that would help. I can send you the System
   Info. Please check out the form link and see what is happening.

 * Hello [@jcimb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jcimb/)
 * ​Thank you for using our plugin.
    ​ ​I am sorry to read about your issue. Our
   plugin is the connector for the Google reCAPTCHA service. This means that the
   plugin itself does not do any spam / requests checks, but the Google reCAPTCHA
   service. ​ ​I’ve checked your form and I can confirm that the CAPTCHA scripts
   are loading properly, so the antispam check is being triggered. The first thing
   we always recommend is to increase the sensitivity, which you already did. See
   if things improve with the new setting. If they do not improve, increase the 
   sensitivity setting or even try another version of CAPTCHA, like the V2 “I am
   not a robot” check. ​ ​Also, keep an eye on the statistics in the Google reCAPTCHA
   dashboard. We’ve seen cases in which the service was still correctly stopping
   spam, however, users still got more spam than usual during specific periods of
   time simply because there was a surge in the traffic. ​ ​Please keep us posted
   on how it goes.
