A decision on that is pending.

m It is with great regret that I announce my resignation from the Joomla Extensions Directory team, and the Joomla project. Whilst I will always hold a fond place in my heart for the Joomla project and the many wonderful people in it, I find that I can no longer ally myself with the project as a who...

It's standard that ANY developer who is found to be abusing the voting system to be banned for a minimum of one month.

If the hypothetical new version was faithful to the rules then that wouldn't be a problem.

Vimes

I understand your issues and I'll see if there's something we can do in regards to this. Thanks for taking the time to come up with the suggestions.

Vimes

I think the buyer beware warning is a non-starter, but the limited listing option might have some merit. I'll make sure that other mods see this and see if they have any input.

What do you propose we do?

Ok, this thread has run it's course and is now locked.

MMMedia is not confused by the discussion, she's absolutely spot on with her observations. Let me spell this out simply so that we're clear that you understand: Developers own their extensions, not Joomla. Joomla has neither the right nor desire to make this any different. For the last time: If you ...

I refer you to my previous response.

JED has always been about providing the best possible quality listing of current components. If a component has been abandoned by the developer then it is not possible to confirm that it is constantly being reviewed for security issues (as is the responsibility of any developer) therefore we err on ...

You're making argument for argument's sake because you have a need to kick up a fuss. I don't know why, maybe you're just trolling or in the mood for a fight, but either way your statements don't hold water. Google themselves freely admit that they unlist sites that are hacked, which is a direct par...

Vimes

If memory serves me correctly, I actually agreed with your comment (if it's the one I'm thinking of), but nevertheless had to disregard it because it isn't actually a review of the extension itself.

How does the mail manager differ from the newsletter extensions?

Vimes

I will not go into specific details as that would be giving people ideas of ways to get around the system, but in general: A lot of criteria are looked at when deciding if votes are valid or not. Sometimes you can see that somebody has created a bunch of users "user1", "user2". Those are the easy on...

Please remember, developers are not allowed to vote for their own extensions.

Amy,

Phil has asked some very reasonable questions and he has been supplied with answers. His behaviour has been exemplary and you have absolutely no right to attack him.

"for the future, it does nothing to hep now though"

Oh, you have no idea how much we're itching to get this working too. Like everybody else tho, we have to be patient. (not my strong point, I can assure you)

Vimes

You're right, it wasn't directed at you and you've never suggested such rubbish.

Vimes

it has become apparent to me that there is definitely censorship going on. Only on specific extensions though. I am sure that what is behind this is the almighty dollar. I mean if I paid you some $$$$, would you allow others to speak badly about my product on your website. O...

I have often wanted to alert people to comments that we've received in JED about possible problems, but it's not something that we're allowed to do. If they didn't get the download then they can't review it anyway so that's that out of the door, however see this post:

http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic ... #msg743570

Vimes

Lots of products, both free and commercial have both good and bad reviews on JED, so I'm not sure where your comment is coming from. We will not allow commercial disputes because it is fraught with legal implications. If you want to grumble about something, do it on your own server, we can't allow i...

Vimes

Tidy.

Must get around to updating metafly on JED. Thx for the reminder, will try to do it tonight.

Vimes

Seconded. Congrates mate.
