I am using the MU edition. So wht does that make it OK?

Did you pay any money for it? Do you realize that most of the MU plugins (those plugins designed to enhance the MU edition) out there are not FREE plugins?

Again the “Secured by” is mainly intended for the home-page, and only ads more security to the site. Many bots when farming for URLs to spam will skip right over sites with lines like that with recognized systems to prevent bot attacks. Kinda like having the “Secured by ADT” on your window, what thief is going to waste his time knowing hes going to get caught? Likewise what bot is going to spend 2% of its resources spaming a site it already knows will not be able to spam?

Just by posting a sticker in your house “Secured by…” This automatically adds a bit of security and deturant. Same is said for the “Secured by” in the footer, and besides it is a way of showing support and respect for a lot of hard work and a lot of hours for the very software you make use of at the expense of that hard work and time; after all I’m no Mother Terisia.

The copyright line is only wrapped in paragraph tags, and on purpose, and that is because in 99.99% of the wordpress themes out there, it shows up flawlessly and usually “flows” with the footers. I can show you several sites that this plugin is currently installed on in which it fits very nicely in the footer.

Sorry man, it was meant to be for Multi-User installs – In such case it would be recommended to have that line at the bottom so someone configuring a spam bot would just skip your website’s URL entirely.

About it not creating the confirmation all over the site (including replies) is because and again, it was designed for the MU edition, and addresses the largest problems with it, blog creation spam. That also means securing the login page as well and I was asked by several people to release it for WordPress Single Edition as well.

Again I strong emphasize that this plugin was originally designed for the MU edition, and comments like that strongly discourage me for further developing on the single user edition.
