[wp-forums] Fwd: It's been pointed out to us that the reviews from our Plugin have been deleted.

[Mika A Epstein]

Ah, actually all the reviews were from sock-puppet accounts with the 
exact same viewing information (IP etc) so they were removed as they 
were, from what we could tell, people gaming the system.  There are 
traits we notice with them, like posting behavior, language, etc etc.

Now that said, there have been a LOT of questionable posts from IPs 
associated with the creation of your plugin, and I'm 99% sure one of the 
mods reached out to you about this before and pointed out it wasn't 
cool. It's probably you just have a really over-eager person on staff 
who's putting these reviews out, and if so, please tell them we don't 
like it. REAL reviews, real good ones, will come in time, but any time 
we see a lot of them with identical posting behavior, we remove them.
