&#60;p&#62;I dumped the WP Status Notifier and installed that plugin. MUCH better plugin, and the note feature is so handy when it's needed.

<description>&#60;p&#62;Via #WordPress-dev meetups, WordPress is likely to be in process of enforcing plugin authors to not force links on sites that use their plugins.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;The rule hasn't gone into effect yet, but hopefully it will soon and those plugins that don't get updated, won't be allowed in the plugin repo anymore.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;More news to come as more dev meetups occur.

<description>&#60;p&#62;Otto42, thanks for letting people know!!!! I went with another plugin since as you pointed out it was not removed and it is suspect.

<description>&#60;p&#62;The code has still not been removed. Looks like they changed it to only add the link on plugin activation. I re-reported it, because it's still spammy behavior. Also, their website (wordpresssupplies.com) is a trademark violation. See &#60;a href=&#34;http://wordpress.org/about/domains/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://wordpress.org/about/domains/&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;PROTIP: You can examine the source for any plugin in the Extend repository easily.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;See this URL?&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;a href=&#34;http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-status-notifier/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-status-notifier/&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Note the name of it there is wp-status-notifier.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Just add that onto this URL:&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;a href=&#34;http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/&#60;/a&#62;&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;And voila. Like so:&#60;br /&#62;
&#60;a href=&#34;http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wp-status-notifier&#34; rel=&#34;nofollow&#34;&#62;http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wp-status-notifier&#60;/a&#62;

<description>&#60;p&#62;Phew! And I almost blamed my hosting company for a MySQL security breach!&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Does anyone know of another legitimate plugin which has the same funcionality?

<description>&#60;p&#62;I've seen themes do similar nasty things.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Nevertheless, I confirmed the behavior and reported the plugin.

<description>&#60;p&#62;Ohh...I had a link which kept appearing in my blogroll. I had to hide it as deleting it wouldn't work.&#60;br /&#62;
I never considered that it could be down to a plug-in... &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I'll have a look to find out which one it was.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Thanks for that! =)

<description>&#60;p&#62;Beware of this plugin. The authors won't say it in the wordpress official plugin page, but after a while you are using it it will add a link in your blogroll to their website. I did not realize this at first, but my customers did and it had a really BAD impact on my site's image.&#60;br /&#62;
Boo-hoo to wordpresssuplies.com I ask all their plugins get removed from wordpress.org/extend&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;To remove the malicious code just go to the plugin file and delete these lines:&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;pre&#62;&#60;code&#62;// Please do not delete this link to support the plugin

	global $wpdb;

	if($wpdb-&#38;gt;get_var(&#38;quot;SELECT COUNT(link_id) FROM $wpdb-&#38;gt;links WHERE link_url=&#38;#39;http://wordpresssupplies.com/&#38;#39;&#38;quot;)==0)

		wp_insert_link(array(&#38;#39;link_name&#38;#39; =&#38;gt; &#38;#39;Wordpress Themes&#38;#39;, &#38;#39;link_url&#38;#39; =&#38;gt; &#38;#39;http://wordpresssupplies.com/&#38;#39;, &#38;#39;link_description&#38;#39; =&#38;gt; &#38;#39;Download Free Wordpress Themes and Plugins&#38;#39; ));&#60;/code&#62;&#60;/pre&#62;
&#60;p&#62;It is so sad and a shame to find this kind of people in a nice open source community like this.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;An advice to the authors: ask for donations or backlinks, do not do it the sneaky way. I will not download a single bit of code signed by you from now on. Think about this.&#60;/p&#62;

<description>&#60;p&#62;Great plugin.  Saves a ton of time for my new member site.  I was wasting time every morning checking to see if any posts needed approving.  Now I get emails.  I can also share the admin tasks with others because you can enter multiple emails for posts waiting publication.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I decided to create a website for the members of my organization, a speakers association.  I wanted the site to be for the members, not just a site that the members would join.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Why would this be necessary?  What I’ve found is that even though it’s extremely easy to create a WordPress site, there are some intrinsic problems that every techno-phobe faces.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;First, the mere installation process, no matter how simple, is enough to cause paralysis.  The second is the pressure of maintaining (and updating) an entire site by oneself.  And finally, adding advanced features, like podcasting, is too daunting for many.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;I thought WordPress could be reduced to the extreme basics for the members, and they can all contribute to the site, and leverage off it’s success.  I describe how I did this, and the features I included in a &#60;a href=&#34;http://www.jimcarrillo.com/technology/member-site/&#34;&#62;post on my site&#60;/a&#62;.
