Title: CommentCaVa Author: wortwart Published: July 17, 2013 Last modified: July 25, 2014 --- Search plugins This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/commentcava.svg) # CommentCaVa By [wortwart](https://profiles.wordpress.org/wortwart/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/commentcava.zip) * [Details](https://wordpress.org/plugins/commentcava/#description) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/plugins/commentcava/#reviews) * [Installation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/commentcava/#installation) * [Development](https://wordpress.org/plugins/commentcava/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/commentcava/) ## Description First read, then comment: CommentCaVa disables the comment field for a certain amount of time. This time is calculated from the length of the blog post. Reading speed is set to 30 characters per second. Previous comments are not counted. CommentCaVa is only a small JavaScript file that also runs outside of WordPress with minor modifications. The waiting message is currently displayed in English ( default) or German, according to the browser settings. This project was subject of my story about blog comments in c’t Magazin 17/2013. Wishlist: * add more languages, maybe via WordPress plugin i18n * use WordPress options for settings (reading speed, waiting messages, locked comment styling) ## Installation Only works with WordPress’ own comment system – no Disqus, Facebook etc. Should do no harm if this condition is not met. Detection of page visibility requires a modern browser (Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari 7+, Internet Explorer 10+) that supports the Page Visibility API. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “CommentCaVa” is open source software.
