Thank him for his offer but politely decline.<br><br>Although offering freelance services to do WordPress theme work is perfectly acceptable, as a theme reviewer and as you have already pointed out, it could put yourself in a very negative light.<br>
<br>If for whatever reason you had previously worked for this same person, I would also expect you to advise the team of your connection and excuse yourself from reviewing any of their themes for the same reasons you mentioned.<br>
<br>Also, suggest the author look to the WordPress support forums or the WordPress Jobs board.<br><br><br>Cais.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Aug 26, 2010 at 1:43 PM, yulian yordanov <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:yul.yordanov@gmail.com">yul.yordanov@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

How to explain all this :)<br>
Today I received an e-mail from a man whose theme I was rejected before. He is asking me to help him with correcting the issues I found in his theme, and offers to pay me for this. In general I wouldn't refuse to help even for free but situation is different here - in some point of view it may looks like I reject themes only to blackmail the authors later :/ The other option is to help him for free but this may give him expectations that the theme will pass the checks easily. Or the third variant - give him negative answer.<br>
What do you think, what is the right behavior?<br>
