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 Comment Ban Manager version 2.6 as active, updated 4mo ago and tested up to WordPress 6.8.
Overview
About this plugin
Comment Ban Manager was created out of a need to manage bans. Sometimes, when the discussion becomes ugly, you want to temporarily ban people rather than permanently, in order to let them cool down. Or you want to implement a “three strikes you’re out” policy.
When you have a lot of comments and heated discussions, managing this manually can take a substantial amount of your precious time. Comment Ban Manager keeps track of all this for you, so you can focus on more rewarding activities.
As an additional feature, you can also ban comments from the Tor network. In our experience, it was used a lot by banned people to circumvent our bans.
Features:
Ban IP-based, logged-in user based or both
Wildcards in IP addresses allowed (xxx.yyy.. and xxx.yyy.zzz.*)
Define your own ban “packages”, eg. a two week ban, or a three month ban
Assign these packages to your bans
Block comments originating from the Tor network
Allow or disallow Tor comments when a user is logged in (default is allow)
Automatically unban users
Automatically remove bans 1 year after expiration (configurable, GDPR-measure)
