 * Sorry to bring the subject up, and I understand that moderators must have a huge
   load to check and scan plugin reviews.
 * Searching wordpress and google, there’s plenty of posts regarding this subject.
   Basically unhappy developers 😀
 * I’ve read all sorts of unfair reviews, my plugins, other dev plugins. commercial
   with free functionality / free plugins, etc. I have never seen such erroneous
   and miss-representation of plugins quality, functionality, work and support put
   into them.
 * When it comes to anything related to a plugin with commercial / free functionality
   then the bad unfair reviews are probably in the order of 99%. I have even seem
   reviews that point users to competitor plugins in codecanion (with link and all
   the nine yards)! but most of the times is just 1 star because there’s a commercial
   element to the plugin. These plugins state these functionalities in the readme.
   txt. Unfortunately, the impression I get is that the system tolerates and actively
   discriminates these plugins.
 * After saying that, 5 star reviews are just as a bad representation of the plugins
   as the 1 star reviews, there’s hardly any relevant representation of the plugin
   in these reviews.
 * ***joke***
    wordpress reviews / voting are today’s representative democracy? ***
   end joke***
 * I guess there’s a huge barrier inside wordpress to implement any other review
   system. Comparing to Joomla, rival free open source cms the difference is huge
   in this field.
 * WordPress cms is great, wonderful api. The wordpress website, awesome tool… so,
   why can’t everybody be happy?
