    GoodbyeCaptcha works fine in blocking spam comments with invalid token. But this few days I’m getting spam messages about HIV and AIDs cure via my comment form, is there any special setting in GoodbyeCaptcha I should do to stop these spam messages from coming in? Thanks.

    Mihai has helped me a lot in troubleshooting and analyzing the problem. We then found out that the spam messages actually came from real human located in Nigeria / Lagos and so the plugin allows the messages to pass through, which is what it is supposed to do. I’ve blacklisted the IP from Nigeria (197.210.225.*) under GBC security setting as suggested by Mihai.
