 * Hi Andy,
 * That error is nothing to worry too much about – it means someone has been spamming
   your forms (most likely a bot) and thus Mailchimp is ignoring their sign-up requests.
 * Regular visitors should not be running into that.
 * If you’re seeing that error a lot then I recommend installing [WPBruiser](https://wordpress.org/plugins/goodbye-captcha/)
   to spot the bots from using the form.
