 * **Guys, stop reviewing plugins before you try them!!**
 * I would like to see many more options in the admin panel. The existing ones are
   simply not enough.
 * Who dont understand the basics of php or html will have a hard time figuring 
   out some basics that should be already included in the settings.
 * Ive stumbled across some problems that could not figure out and that lead me 
   to search other ways around…
 * In my opinion a major upgrade is recomended to be more user friendly.

 * After spending few hours answering your questions and sharing some code snippets(
   total of 9 threads started by you, which is about 10% of tickets in last two 
   months and multiple follow up questions often beyond the basic support), it’s
   really disappointing to see this review :(.
 * Either way, maybe you can let me know here what other outstanding issues do you
   have, so we can turn this review around?

 * [@bevyme](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bevyme/) If the plugin works but
   it doesn’t have some options that you want this is not a good reason to give 
   a negative review. Also, if you encountered some problems this doesn’t mean that
   this plugin is not good, especially as Greg provides a very good support for 
   a free plugin.
 * [@greg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/greg/), this review is not about 
   your plugin, it is about the his author. You should not be discouraged, negative
   reviews can not be avoided entirely, but that doesn’t mean obligatorily that 
   your work is not good. Continue to develop and to improve this plugin, which 
   is a very good one.

 * [@iurie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iurie/) Malai simply you dont get
   it. That was my review, not yours.
    Also i dont have the knowledge about code
   you have, if i had the same knowledge you have, then, you dont even had to hear
   from me in the forum, because i can search. You dont seem to make that effort
   sometimes with the knowledge you have. So dont try to give me advice on how to
   review it please.
 * [@greg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/greg/) Im your nº1 fan since ive 
   downloaded this plugin dont get me wrong, looks like you know a lot about security
   and stuff, bright minds are always on top of my wishes. Im sure i will see improvements
   with your plugin. Ive seen that after my review you started beeing more active
   in the forum and also the way you answer questions is different, and i do appreciated
   a lot! That only show to us that you really want to improve. Everyone have something
   to learn everytime.

 * [@bevyme](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bevyme/) I understand you will 
   not change the rating, even though you still use the plugin and like the support
   you received o.O … that’s fine. Users are reading only negative reviews anyway
   so i will allow myself to quote you here from other ticket:
 *     ```
       ... thank you Greg Winiarski for doing this awesome plugin
       ```
   
 * As harsh as it sounds, i am beginning to think i made a terrible mistake replying
   to any of your tickets at all, in best case you would delete the plugin, in worst
   case you would leave 1 star rating, which (compered to 2 stars) in terms of counting
   points does not really make any difference, but at least i would save a couple
   hours of my time and i could tell that my 2 (or 1) star rating was well deserved.
 * Despite what you wrote in the last message i find this review/rating not true,
   harmful for the plugin and disrespectful towards everyone involved, especially
   me.
 * [@iurie](https://wordpress.org/support/users/iurie/) Malai Thanks! when releasing
   this plugin as a free software i expected to get a negative review out of blue
   for no apparent reason, that is part of the game i guess, but i never expected
   to get negative review for doing a good job.

 * My intencion was never to disrespect you or your work.
    As you, i didnt knew 
   that rating could not be changed… I tried right after i rate it 2 stars instead
   of 3. So i officialy raise here my plugin rate to 3.5 stars (that is about 25%
   from perfect). If there is a way to change it you tell me, and i will do it. 
   Some additions (css & settings) can be made to make the plugin even better and
   more user friendly. Users will thank you even more, not only for that but also
   because is a free plugin.

 * According to WordPress.org moderators in this thread [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-wont-allow-me-to-change-my-rating-and-review-for-a-plugin?replies=24](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-wont-allow-me-to-change-my-rating-and-review-for-a-plugin?replies=24)
   it is actually possible to change the review (and actually one of WPAdverts reviews
   was changed so i am pretty sure it is possible).
 * The additional settings, options, features and documentation will be available,
   but note this is still my side project and the development does not move forward
   as fast as i would like it to (or sometimes does not move forward at all).

 * Greg, i think you might have to consider make this one paid to make the needed
   improvments. Or else leave it as it is and fix only bugs, and help people in 
   forum.

 * The free version has its benefits for the author as well: more exposure, users
   helping each other on the forum (which is slowly beginning to happen), more users
   to test the plugin.
 * It also forces me to document my code and create the documentation itself which
   is nice.
 * New update will be available this month, and i am planning to have at least one
   update a month here in 2016, WPAdverts is slowly getting traction (as far as 
   the addon sales go) so i will be able to spend more time on this project and 
   i am pretty confident this will be possible.
