 * Hello,
 * The description of this plugin says – “Blocks spam comments with the use of JavaScript”.
 * Does it mean that JavaScript needs to be enabled in website users’ browsers for
   this plugin to work?
 * Kindly clarify.
 * Thank you.

 * Yup, using JS requires that JS be enabled.

 * Thanks for the answer.
 * So, if a browser does not have JS enabled, what will happen? Will the user be
   able to submit his comment/form?
 * If there are any details about it somewhere, could you please share the link?
 * Thanks again.

 * No, if JS is disabled, the user won’t be able to submit comments. That’s what
   make this plugin work since most spam bots don’t use/read JS.
 * The details are on the plugins page, its uses JS. No JS, doesn’t work. Per the
   description, it’s based on David Walsh’s work: [http://davidwalsh.name/wordpress-comment-spam](http://davidwalsh.name/wordpress-comment-spam)
