   I refer to my thread over here where I found one of my plugins kept adding a link to WordpressSupplies to my blogroll automatically.

   After searching my plugin code, I found this one does in fact check to see if their link is in your blogroll and then adds it. I saw no mention of this anywhere in the install page, if you're going to add links to my website I'd appreciate knowing about it.

   From what I can tell, themes and plugins from WordpressSupplies do this as well, so I'd be wary of using anything from there.

   Line #143 of auto-tagger.php contains the following code.
   

   if($wpdb->get_var("SELECT COUNT(link_id) FROM $wpdb->links WHERE link_url='http://wordpresssupplies.com/'")==0)
   wp_insert_link(array('link_name' => 'Wordpress Themes', 'link_url' => 'http://wordpresssupplies.com/', 'link_description' => 'Download Free Wordpress Themes and Plugins' ));

   I tried out the WP Auto Tagger plugin, and it added a link to my blogroll as well...

   Is there a way to report this developer's plugins? I really think this needs to be banned from WordPress site.
