 * We have various CF7 forms, and if a user clicks the Submit button several times,
   they all end up submitting and spamming the contact person with emails. Any idea
   why this would be? It’s happening on at least 2 of our sites.

 * Do people actually send you multiple emails?

 * I had the same problem. It can be solved very easy by hiding the submit button
   when the spinner is visible. It’s only css:
 * form.submitting input {
    visibility: hidden; }

 * I have the same problem. While [@laoren](https://wordpress.org/support/users/laoren/)
   fix is a bandate (Thank you!), it would be great if it could be addresses within
   CF7 (e.g. JS disabling the submit event during submission).
