 * Hi [@schecteracademicservices](https://wordpress.org/support/users/schecteracademicservices/),
 * Sure! I’ll add it in the next release.
 * Actually, `410 Gone` was previously selectable in this plugin but it was removed
   at 3.0.0 because I couldn’t have any idea about how to use it.
 * So I’d appreciate you if you let me know why you want it.
 * Thanks.

 * Sure:
    “410 Gone Indicates that the resource requested is no longer available
   and will not be available again. This should be used when a resource has been
   intentionally removed and the resource should be purged. Upon receiving a 410
   status code, the client should not request the resource in the future.”
 * TO a hacker/bot:
    403 says “bad password, try another password” 404 says “not
   here now, try again later” 410 says “you are wasting your own time”

 * Actualy its not posible to see what happens witg det different codes, I use:

 * But a way to test it in some kind of what you see, is what hackers get, would
   be cool.
