I just discovered this ADN setting by accident (when looking for other settings), and I can’t believe to see this activated by default, and introduced silently after some upgrade (because I’m sure this is not part of this plugin since the beginning).
I want to know what the hell this have been doing on my sites without asking me permission.
What exactly you mean when you say:
a program that allows us to improve the SEO of our users’ websites.
This inserts any ads (or anything) on sites using this plugin?? I want to know in detail what your plugin did on my sites while this setting was active. Please make it clear and public.
And, by the way, I’m pretty sure this violates www.remarpro.com plugin guidelines:
In general, things like banner or text link advertising should not be anywhere in a plugin, including on its settings screen. Advertising on settings screens is generally ineffective anyway, as ideally users rarely visit these screens, and the advertising is low quality because the advertising systems cannot see the page content to determine good ads. So they’re best just left off entirely. Putting links back to your own site or to your social-network of choice is fine. If the plugin does include advertising from a third party service, then it must default to completely disabled, in order to prevent tracking information from being collected from the user without their consent. This is the method commonly known as “opt-in”.
So you should change it to default OFF.
I hope to see an explanation from you pretty soon.
