[wp-forums] Moderation Request

[Michael Niziol]

I am not pushing buttons, I can be quite good at that and I am clearly not
going down that path. But leaving a thread such as this up is going to set a
precedent that it is acceptable to post potentially profit-generating
advertisements under the guise of only having a "donation" required. If the
poster requested a donation from anyone using the plug-in, but did not
require one, then I think that is a much different things. A donation is a
voluntary gift, by making it mandatory it stops being a donation and becomes
a purchase price.

If the WordPress forums or just for support issues, though I have admittedly
gone beyond that in the past, as I'm beginning to see how fast things get
out of hand, then that must be enforced in a  uniform. If the thread is
allowed to stay, it's going to set a very bad precedent.
