After that i discovered that a member called podz changed my plugin code, i was unable to commit changes to my svn repository and my WordPress.org password was reset.

All that without any explanation, just a log message ” Necessary code update”.

I just want to know what happened wrong and how I can resolve this problem.

thank you.

Ah, thank you Otto. Not a hack. Looking at the diff, podz (hi Mark!) removed your code that was in clear violation of WP policy: The footer link

email plugins@wordpress.org to get your access back.

This is what i found in WP guidelines :

The plugin must not embed external links on the public site (like a “powered by” link) without explicitly asking the user’s permission.

I made an option to remove that link, where is the violation of WP policy ?

It needs to go the other way. You need to put in an option to add the link.

The phrase “without explicitly asking the user’s permission” means you have to ask permission to add the link, and default to not showing it.

You need to email plugins@wordpress.org for more help.
