## Description

Neutrope Quiet Shield adds lightweight spam and unsolicited-sales filtering to
 
Contact Form 7 submissions. The idea is simple: let spam and cold sales mail be 
received quietly without disturbing the people running the site.

Each submission is scored against a small set of checks you control:

 * Japanese character ratio: flag messages with too little Japanese text.
 * URL limit: flag messages that contain more links than you allow.
 * Submission speed: flag forms submitted suspiciously fast after they were
    shown.
   The timing value is signed so it cannot be tampered with.
 * Repeat submissions: flag three or more submissions from the same visitor
    within
   five minutes.
 * NG words: flag messages containing any keyword from your own list.

When a submission is flagged you choose what happens with Quiet Mode:

 * Quiet Mode on (default): the visitor sees the normal success message, but
    no
   mail is sent. The reason is written to the log.
 * Quiet Mode off: the submission is stopped with the standard Contact Form
    7 error
   message.

The plugin is deliberately small. It makes no external network requests,
 creates
no database tables, and shows no ads or upsells. Configuration is stored in a single
option, and the log keeps only decision metadata plus a short, salted IP hash. Message
bodies, e-mail addresses and names are never stored.

If Contact Form 7 is not active, the plugin still activates safely and
 shows an
admin notice instead of causing an error.

This plugin is an independent add-on and is not affiliated with or endorsed
 by 
the authors of Contact Form 7.

### Features

 * Five independent checks, each configurable from one settings page.
 * Quiet Mode to silently drop flagged mail or stop it with an error.
 * Dashboard with today’s passed and blocked counts and a recent activity
    log.
 * Tamper-evident submission-speed measurement using a signed field.
 * IP addresses are hashed, never stored in raw form.
 * No external requests, no tracking, no database tables, no ads.
 * GPL-2.0-or-later. The full license text is bundled in the LICENSE file.

## Installation

 1. Upload the `neutrope-quiet-shield` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory,
    or install the plugin through the WordPress Plugins screen.
 2. Activate Neutrope Quiet Shield through the Plugins screen.
 3. (Recommended) Install and activate Contact Form 7.
 4. Open “Quiet Shield” in the admin menu and adjust the checks and Quiet Mode on the
    Settings page.

## FAQ

### Does this plugin require Contact Form 7?

The checks run only on Contact Form 7 submissions. The plugin still
 activates without
Contact Form 7 and shows a notice instead of failing.

### What happens to a flagged submission?

With Quiet Mode on (the default), the visitor sees the success message but
 no mail
is sent and the reason is logged. With Quiet Mode off, the submission is stopped
with the standard Contact Form 7 error message.

### Does it store personal data?

No message bodies, e-mail addresses or names are stored. The log keeps only
 the
date and time, the form ID, the reason, a short salted IP hash, a score and whether
Quiet Mode was used.

### Does it make any external network requests?

No. All checks run locally on your site.

### Can a bot fake the submission-speed check?

The render time is stored in a signed hidden field. If the value is
 altered, the
signature no longer matches and the submission is flagged as tampered. On heavily
cached pages the timing field may be stale, in which case the speed check is simply
skipped rather than producing a false positive.

### What data does it store?

Three options: `neutqush_settings` (your configuration), `neutqush_logs` (the recent

activity log) and `neutqush_stats` (today’s counters). All are removed when the 
plugin is deleted.
