 * Please tell me your plugin didn’t get suspended for the Russian domain block 
   code snippet.
    Let’s keep politics out of software programming.
 * It’s safe to say no one here supports Russia (I’m from Europe). We all do our
   parts in supporting Ukraine. But implementing borderline malware in a way to 
   protest a war is not helping anyone. There are a lot of .ru websites that have
   no affiliation with anything russia/ukraine related. Mainly those who use domain
   endings for word games in domain names. On top of that, a big portion of the 
   russian people oppose this war and are fighting within Russia. You might accidentally
   block websites that are spreading information to help stop this war.
 * Also, this little domain check puts unnecessary load on each website. For every
   single page load it checks the domains IP and hostname and then checks if it’s
   a .ru, by or su tld. If your plugin is used by 1% of .ru domains, you are punishing
   the other 99% of regular websites by performing additional IP and host checks
   during every single page load.
 * Please remove this code snippet, it does more harm to good people than actual
   bad people.
 * I really hope you get your plugin unsuspended because after almost 2 years of
   struggling to find a good WordPress anti-spam plugin, yours is the only one that
   crosses off all the checks I was looking for.
    In the past 6 months I have installed
   your plugin on over 800 of my customer websites because I recommended your plugin
   to them. It’s safe to say that some of my customers have upgraded to a pro licenses.
 * It would be such a pain if I’d have to go through 800+ websites and find an alternative
   because your plugin got kicked off WordPress.org repository due to a protest.
   Even if you still offer your plugin via GitHub, I have no way of receiving auto
   updates at the moment.
