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.

WP PlugIndex currently records No Spam version 1.0.2 as active, updated 12y ago and tested up to WordPress 3.9.
Overview
About this plugin
No Spam is a simple, lightweight and efficient anti-spam plugin.
It relies on differences between humans and robots when they visit (or crawl) a page.
-
Most of human visitors clients are javascript enabled and most of spam bot are not. Then the No Spam plugin adds an input field in the comment form using javascript. After submission, the plugin check if this field exists.
-
As spam bots usually don’t kown which fields are required and which are not, they use to fill all the fields. The plugin adds a extra field (with empty value) in the comment form and hide it with CSS styling. After submission, the plugin check if the field is still empty.
