characters allowed in each comment on your website posts, with the following features:

 * An extremely easy-to-use plugin.

 * Enable or disable administrators to write a free comment, without restriction.
 * Extremely easy to delete. Don’t like the plugin? You can remove it, without leaving
   any trace.
