The free plugin does not transmit comment content to WPCodeForge as part of its standard comment-management functionality.

The associated random identifier may be stored with the relevant comment as voting metadata. Administrators are responsible for configuring the plugin consistently with their own privacy and legal requirements. ### Support Website: https://wpcodeforge.com/ Comment Suite Pro: https://wpcodeforge.com/comment-suite-pro/ ### License WPCodeForge Comment Suite is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2 or later. ### Credits Creator, Founder and Developer: James William Steven Parker. ## Screenshots [⌊Comment Suite Dashboard.⌉⌊Comment Suite Dashboard.⌉[ Comment Suite Dashboard.
