 * The listed change is “Fix CSRF vulnerability on reset page”, yet it also adds
   a spammy bar to the main dashboard and an obnoxious extra menu to the sidebar
   on the dashboard. This was not expected in what is supposed to be a patch release
   to fix one issue.
 * The spam at the top you can get rid of, but it doesn’t look like you can’t get
   rid of the menu. Those menus are intended for plugins or functionality which 
   require many pages or things you will use frequently. How often do I go to the
   prefs for this plugin? Never. Why take up valuable space on the left? More advertising.
 * We get it – you have more things you want to sell. You need to make money. You
   don’t need to be obnoxious about it though.

 * I was reflecting on what was bugging me about this – it’s not that you’re advertising,
   obviously, it’s that it’s “outside” the plugin.
 * If you would like suggestions, I would consider:
 * – Putting a one-liner with a link in the dashboard graph “More plugins from SumoMe”
   –
   If the user has more than one of your plugins installed, then adding a SumoMe
   category on the left with the links to things they would want to do frequently.
   I’m guessing that other plugins have more activities associated with them.
 * (Love your team profile images BTW.)

 * Also consider that there are quite a few users that mange multiple sites… I can
   a sure you that after the 3rd site where you have to do useless clicks to get
   rid of the sumomebar one does not think more positive about the makers of this
   plugin.
    So your positive intentions might lead to negative results 🙂
 * Just my 2cents..Goodluck with your plugins!

 * I would also like to raise the concern that many of us are developers who recommend
   your plugins to our professional clients after consistent positive experiences.
   Suddenly following an update, an *ad* is displayed in the _administrative area_
   of the site. This isn’t the way to build trust and potentially reflects badly
   on the person who integrated it.
 * I understand the need to promote yourself and make money, but there are more 
   tasteful ways to do it.

 * pardon the piggyback – I am updating a client’s website and this plugin, do you
   know if it has been changed? But for the security vulnerability I would leave
   it as is.

 * [@ssmeredith](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ssmeredith/) – no it has not.
 * You really should update though because the security vulnerability that’s fixed
   allows anyone to reset the plugin.
