[Plugin: WP-RecentComments] Not only not working, but also having uncomfortable activities

will not working, cus the definitions of functions like plugins_url(), wp_enqueue_style() are missing. This could be a result of WP version – however I guess, but this is not the main case.

One thing make me very uncomfortable is the code from line 301 to 320 as attached at the bottom. I cannot image what this code intends to do, and I cannot image how encrypt code appears in an open-source project, I dont know what the code is but one thing is clear that it will be all about money, and this author will not care how he make his money.

* You can write a donation stuff in the README file, or at the top comment line of the php file around your copyright/contact info, we will notice it. But you do not directly put it into and execute your donation code on all my visitors’ computers!

* You do not put encrypted code into an opensource project cus we have no idea what you are going to do with these money-making codes.

THANK YOU! Your plugin has been removed from my blog.
