Feel like I got a bait and switch

  • Spam Free WordPress was the best spam filter plug-in I’d found. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize that it had changed to a licensed version and that the upgrade would lose functionality… I just went through and updated plug-ins as part of routine maintenance. After the upgrade, the plug-in is worse than useless. Look elsewhere.

    I respect the need to make a living, but to remove features in an update is just downright shady. There’s no possible way I will ever purchase anything from this developer now.

    There was no bait and switch. www.ads-software.com required I make changes to the plugin thanks to another developer. It was either make the changes or not have Spam Free WordPress available at all. Didn’t you notice Spam Free WordPress had no downloads for about a month on the stats chart? That was because the plugin was disabled from public view until I changed it.

    I am offering a much better alternative called Simple Comments. If you decide not to upgrade, it is your loss. I’ve done what I can to make a better alternative available.

    Thanks for the comment Carla! That helps to know.
