Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

External Services
This plugin utilizes two external services to provide its full functionality. Users must be aware that using this plugin will result in data being sent to these third-party services.
-
Google reCAPTCHA
Purpose: This service is used to protect the shoutbox login form from spam and automated abuse by bots.
Data Sent: To verify that a user is not a robot, hardware and software information, such as device data, application data, and the user’s IP address, is sent to Google. This occurs when a user clicks the “Join” button.
Service Documents: Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.
-
OpenAI API
Purpose: This service is used to generate intelligent, human-like responses when a user interacts with the AI feature of the shoutbox.
Data Sent: When a user enables the AI mode and submits a message, the text content of that message is sent to OpenAI’s API for processing. No personal user data is sent, only the query text itself.
