[wp-forums] Potential bogus reviews on a plugin

[James Huff]

Thanks, Andrew, we're on it! I've let Mika on the plugin team know, found a few sock puppets in there, and let Jan know as he is so awesome at finding the rest. :)

BTW, did you know you can now chat with all of us live in the #forums channel on Slack? More info on how to set that up: https://make.wordpress.org/chat/

We're largely using Slack now for inter-team communication and pretty much just keeping the mailing list around now for non-moderators (who aren't on Slack) to get in touch with us.

Slack allows us to communicate live, and unlike IRC, it has a permanent back scroll and emailed notifications if you're offline, so it's basically the mailing list plus live chat, a fitting replacement. :)

Also, we pretty much have Slack open all day whereas we may only check email a few times a day, so it's much more efficient to just join the party on Slack. ;)

See you there!
