 * I suppose it’s a cookie based antispam plugin ?

 * Every time a user/bot sends a comment in a specific post or page Spam Protection
   checks if that specific user/bot has visited for at least X seconds ( this value
   is customizable through the Options menu ) that specific post or page.
 * If that user/bot has not visited that post for at least X seconds the user/bot
   receives a custom message. ( ex: “You are posting the comment too quickly. Slow
   down.” )
 * You can also set a maximum time limit, each user/bot has a maximum time limit
   within which he has to post a comment.
 * You can browse all the blocked comments under the Spam Protection menu voice,
   so that you can actually check how many comments this plugin has blocked.
 * And you are right, its a cookie based plugin.

 * Thanks for the answer. Will it work with Cache Plugins ? – its seems that Cookies
   for Comments does not work well with Quick Cache.
