## Installation

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

## FAQ

  How do you decide on the time out?

We use the rate of comments in the last hour. See bellow for a
 break down.

 * Upto 5 comments/h – 15s
 * From 6-14 comments/h 5s increment
 * Every comment/h there after 60s increment.

  Can I change the time out?

Yes. Go to Settings -> Smart Throttle in wp-admin and change the time out.
 We believe
our time out break down is well balanced 😉
