[Tonie]

The rules regarding the Joomla! Extensions Directory (JED), can be found here.

If any of the rules are changed, you can find them in replies below this thread.

This can be discussed in the following discussion thread.

With the latest update to JED, we also have more ways to detect if people abuse the system in one way or the other. The following rules were already in place:

• It is not allowed for a any person to solely rate an extension to artificially inflate the rating or vote count.
• It is not allowed for the same person to have more than one account on the Joomla! Extensions Directory.
• It is not allowed for an extension developer to give negative votes to other extensions who are in competion for rating ranks, or to submit votes to extensions which offer similar functionality.

As of this week, the following rule has been added:

• If above three rules are broken by an extension developer who has extensions on the Joomla! Extensions Directory, all extensions owned by the developer will be unpublished from the Joomla! Extensions Directory for a time set by the Joomla! Extensions Editors (starting from one month to inifinity).

This rule will start when I push the 'Post' button. All offenses done in the past will not be fully taken into account. They will be dealth with, the person responsible will get a warning with a link to the last rule.
