What happened to AEC - Account Expiration Component

Post by aravot » Tue Jun 12, 2007 5:08 pm

I can't find Account Expiration Component, was it removed? if so security reasons, developmnent reasons? Hope devs haven't stopped the development of AEC.

Thanks, but why remove the component just ban the user account, removing extensions raises a lot of questions.

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

boo...
That may be the case, but it doesn't SOUND like sk0re abused the voting, at least, certainly NOT intentionally.

I feel the removal of the AEC component from the JED listing is a DISSERVICE to Joomla Users searching for a solution, and CERTAINLY an insult to all of the HARD WORK and DEDICATION put in by Helder, sk0re, and others, who are trying to solve a problem by creating THE definitively GREAT subscription component for Joomla.

The actions seem arbitrary, and excessively punitive, in my opinion.
I am a member of globalnerd.org, and continue to support the AEC development efforts of sk0re and others.

please restore this badly needed component to the JED listing ASAP.

I must add though, that I indeed abused the voting intentionally. Although with a different intention that what the punishment is regularly for :)

And to state this again - this was their choice and I respect them for standing true to their principles. But I can admit that I too find them a tad excessive ;)

Ah, well... this I did not realize...
however. penalizing the entire community by de-listing is still excessive... IMHO
