 * If you install it … they will spam your site and your users.
 * Why worry about hackers breaking into your site via the ‘back door’, when you
   can install this plugin and let them in through the ‘front door’.
 * **This plugin should be removed form the WordPress repository.**
 * Also you MUST uninstall these plugins as they add ReadyGraph and activate it 
   without asking you:
 * Really Simple Share

 * Hi [@danbrady](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danbrady/),
 * Readygraph is not installed automatically, it an extension to the plugins. And
   it is entirely optional. It will work only after you connect to readygraph. The
   emails that are sent to your users, are daily/weekly digests so that people can
   stay up-to-date on your website as well collecting reviews and feedback on you
   site. If you find the readygraph functionality not suitable for your needs, you
   can simply deactivate readygraph and that will stop all the emails going out 
   on behalf of you.

 * This is simply not true.
 * I didn’t connect with ReadyGraph. I had ‘really simple share’ installed. In the
   last day or so site users have been emailing asking why the pop-ups were appearing,
   why they ‘had to login’ and **why they’d received emails from ReadyGraph**. I
   investigated, found the readygraph page and the settings to connect with ReadyGraph
   were **unticked**.
 * After further investigation I also saw your adsense code in our site – you are
   generating income from our users and links by injecting ads. You’re spamming 
   our users, putting ads on our site, stealing users’ contact details and contacting
   them directly.
 * And [your own uninstall documentation suggests that uninstalling isn’t enough ](http://www.readygraph.com/faq/)–
   you keep your code in the site’s header (I’ve not checked yet, but [comments from others do support this](https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/subscribe2?filter=1))
 * I am reporting your plugins for absue

 * We apologize for the issue caused to you and your users. There were bugs in the
   code at start, due to which popup was showing where it shouldn’t. Google search
   code is additional feature and we have corrected the code so that it becomes 
   purely opt-in feature. And the same goes for readygraph. The latest version of
   the plugin resolves all such issues and it is purely opt-in service if you wish
   to connect. Please let us know the email address of the users if they are receiving
   emails from us at [info@readygraph.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spam-126/info@readygraph.com?output_format=md)
   so that we can look into it and fix the same.
 * Also, let us know if there are any issues, bugs, suggestions. We are always improvising.

 * Please remove any users who signed up via northumbriacommunity.org website
 * Any signups were done on the basis that they were opting into a service from 
   the website owner, which is not the case
