Whatever you have in the options boxes by default (all the German text) produces
a warning from WordFence. If you remove all that then the warnings go away. The 
problem with this plugin (like the other comment length limiters that I’ve tested)
is that there is no countdown for the user. There is no warning until AFTER the 
comment has already been posted. E.g., I write a comment that’s 2,000 characters
long and it takes me 30 minutes. After I’m done, I get the error that my comment
is too long! Nothing warns me that the comment is too long until I finally submit
it. Then, there’s nothing that says, “You’re over by this many characters.” So the
user has no idea what the comment length actually is. Lastly, the only 5-star ratings
are from the author himself. A little strange.

I don’t really know why this plugin has such a bad average rating. It does it’s 
job like described, and i also checked the code. If there would be any problems,
wordpress would take the plugin from the market. So go for it.
