    Starting from version 5.2.15 ( /zero-spam/tags/5.2.15/modules/class-ukraine.php ), this plugin contains malicious code driven by political motives.

    It’s a bad idea to drag the WordPress community into this conflict.

    @m0ze We’re sorry you feel that way, but this is completely untrue. There is no malicious code in our plugin… otherwise it wouldn’t be allowed in the WordPress plugin repo.

    We did however place a Ukrainian support banner on sites with Russian domains (which was documented in the readme) but have since removed that.

    Please feel free to submit any bug/feature requests here https://github.com/Highfivery/zero-spam-for-wordpress/issues & will address them ASAP.

    @bmarshall511,

    but this is completely untrue

    Sounds like you’re trying to evade responsibility right now. I’ll try to explain.

    otherwise it wouldn’t be allowed in the WordPress plugin repo.

    You know that there were precedents, and these words cannot serve as an argument in any way, right?

    There is no malicious code in our plugin…

    Malicious == intended to cause undesired effects, security breaches or damage to a system. This is very suitable for the situation you have created since v5.2.15. For three domain zones (not only Russian by the way), your plugin simply stopped working, and as a bonus, you also decided to add a banner to domains in these (RU, SU, BY) zones with a link to your site. For what for? What problem did you solve this way by adding this useless code to the plugin?

    Don’t get me wrong, but your views and beliefs failed to pass the “dollar” test this time, and the stated position on the political situation turned out to be less important than your commercial project. Kinda obvious, but it is not entirely clear why and for what for it was done in the first place.
