 * Hello,
 * I downloaded your plugin weeks ago and it works great so far, thank you for this
   🙂
 * I however have a little issue and I don’t know if it comes from this plugin. 
   To make it short, since I installed the Antispam plugin, my .htaccess file has
   been getting overwritten over and over…
 * These lines :
 * # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule
   ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}!-
   d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress
 * are duplicated a hundred or thousand times, and my .htaccess is now 1.5 Mo ! 
   I can fix the issue by uploading a clean .htaccess, but the issue occurs a few
   hours/days later, again and again, and the pages of my websites just show a 404
   error…
 * I also tried to put the htaccess file attributes to 404 instead of 604 to stop
   it from being rewritten, but my host doesn’t allow this and it cames back to 
   604…
 * I just would like to know if your plugin may be causing that and changing the.
   htaccess or adding rewriting rules ?
 * Best regards 🙂

 * **Anti-spam plugin does not work with .htaccess file** and does not add rewrite
   rules to it.
 * I recommend you to disable all plugins an enable them one by one and maybe this
   would help you to find the plugin with “bad behavior”.
