“Detect spambots posting comments” option is blocking all comments.

Hello

I was checking the Comments on my site, and decided to make a test. Using Chrome, I went to my “contact” page and added a legitimate commentary by filling the form.
The commentary was not added, and my IP got blocked.
I checked the “Permanent block list” and my IP was added with the motive “spam_discard”

After checking the settings, I noticed it was enabled the option “Detect spambots posting comments” on the “Spam Prevention” section.
I disabled the option, saved the settings and tested again. This time the commentary was added correctly.

I tested this for conflicts. I disabled all others plugins (cache included) and used the Twenty Twenty-Four theme. I also got blocked.

I dont understand why it blocked the commentary. For now I’ll keep this option off.

There is a similar topic here: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/detect-comment-from-spambots-marks-all-comments-as-spam/, but in my case, all the others plugins are disabled.

You can try it at this link https://pastebin.com/1HuUgnhF

Thank you.
