WRONG to change a plugin to make it a different plugin!

  • It is WRONG WRONG WRONG to change the nature of a plugin so significantly so that it is a different plugin.

    I already have web application firewall (Wordfence) installed on my site and I do not need or want another. All I wanted was a plugin that deals with spam. I especially do not want two WAFs running side by side which can break or slow down a site drastically.

    What you should have done is released another plugin and promoted it as having the anti-spam feature included along with more features so that anyone who wants those other features can swap the plugins but those who want only the anti-spam features can keep the anti-spam plugin.

    Hello.

    You can disable the firewall in our plugin, and then only anti-spam will work for you. In addition, the firewall is disabled by default.

    I know, but that wasn’t my point.
