We need to take action as well!
Posted: Thu Mar 22, 2012 7:46 pm
We have registered our new extension JoomDalf to extensions directory on 8th March and we have been announcing it since that day on twitter emails and linkedin as well as some forums and email campaigns. After being approved on 20th March the extension page got a huge impact and went to New & Noteworthy status which we were glad to see.
Yesterday we got the below email with a fake IP and fake email:
The Joomla Judge <[email protected]>
We caught you faking your views at JED.
There are unwritten rules!
We know how you do it and when you do it.
If you ever fake your views again we will report this to the JED team and give them all evidence we have.
You will be banned with all of your extensions for lifetime!
Now you need to learn a lesson fist
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
And today we got another email with blackmail going further
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joomla Guru: Messing around with the wrong guy
Well, you are a really stupid person.
If you are not honest and don't follow rules we know much more effective punishment.
You shouldn't wonder if your extension has a bad reputation someday
Right now our extension has a Views of 4745 and this will increase as we bought a mailing campaign for it which will result this guy taking action about his blackmail also which he clearly states giving our extension a bad review and vote.
We would like to know how to take action against such an immature and childish act with no honor.
Also we would like to suppose the new & noteworthy section rules to be revised as those actions may be happening to other developers as well.
Also this brings another question on table why votes are immediate while reviews are not? We think votes also need to be reviewed as such guys would do their utmost to slander others names.
For New & Noteworthy section we suggest it to be based on votes and reviews while also votes to be reviewed. We are stepping one step more and becoming volunteers for a new voting system especially registration required extensions to disable the users voting for the extension without buying it. We suppose all commercial extension developers would agree to this point.
