</span> The guideline somehow translates to:<br><br><div style="margin-left:40px">Theme authors are not required to provide credit link removal options. However if the theme author provides such option, "then the default state of that option must be for the credit links to be *disabled* ".<br>
<br></div>Why penalize a theme author who provides a user-friendly option to remove the credit link? It's looking more like protecting a theme author who wants to make it hard for a regular user to remove the credit link. <br>
<br>I don't recall that specific guideline last time I did a theme review. I didn't see this new guideline discussed at all. Theme Review Admin's prerogative?<br><br>Mercime</div></div>
