 * I’ve noticed that double clicking or spamming clicks on the submission button
   will post multiple versions of the same post to my site.
 * I had a look though the already posted support threads and couldn’t find anyone
   else talking about this issue.
 * Is there a simple way to disable the submissions button after the first click
   perhaps?

 * It’s not something built in to the plugin at this time, but there are wealth 
   of jQuery snippets that are used to prevent second clicks. Here is just one possible
   search:

 * Have a look thru some of those hopefully will do the trick.

 * Seems like this should be a feature, whats the point in the captcha if anyone
   can spam you anyway?

 * I’ll have to look into it again.. I thought the issue was resolved in a previous
   update, but apparently more attention is needed. Thank you for your feedback,
   will do what I can.
