Like i said i dont intend to endorse or pressure the user with phrases like "please find 5* if you find it useful" but just to be a reference for the others:<br>
a.) Is that kind of encouraging link text acceptable ? Or should there be a standart for that too ?<br>b.) I understand that you cant place it like a banner, in a promoting manner. But any other limitations on it, like where it can be placed ? I mean "on the theme options page" is pretty vague. You can place it unintrusively on the last tab of options or if you mean to make it promoting you might place it on the top of the options page which would again fall into "on the theme options page" technically.<br>
</div>Besides, instead of a permanent link that catches my eye every time i go over the options, i would rather have a one-time banner telling me to that goes away the next time or one that can be dismissed.<br><br></div>
I am asking these not to find loop holes, but to prevent developers from exploiting the allowed link on technicalities.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2013/11/21 Justin Tadlock <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:justin@justintadlock.com" target="_blank">justin@justintadlock.com</a>></span><br>

theme promotion discussion, I got the impression
that we were after far worse things than giving
the user a link back to review the theme on
WordPress.org. <br>
<br>
Is it the manner in which it was done or is it
simply that the link itself shouldn't be
allowed? <br>

Just trying to get everyone on the same page
