## Description

Many spammers bypass the comment form and send requests to the WordPress backend
directly. This plugin creates a “nonce” field for your comment form, similar to 
the ones used in the administration backend.

### Troubleshooting

RSCV not working? Use the following steps to try and solve the problem.

 1. Make sure `<?php do_action('comment_form'); ?>` is in your template’s comments.
    php, inside the `<form>` tags.
 2. Still not working? Ask on the forums.

## Installation

 1. Upload `rscv/` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
