[theme-reviewers] Regarding a Strange Behaviour

Great. While we are at it, could you please clear up what Srikanth said, regarding the use of words like Parallax and Bootstrap in theme titles.

@Rohit At first yes it would definitely sound fishy, however as you saidTheme was submitted by a regular Themer and no harm, no foul fromeither side :)
@Christine no worries, Theme did not made to WPORG, you're all good.
Plus, Themes from the trac are usually not removed anyways.

                I apologize for any confusion, it made it into our release cycle prematurely, but I assure you were are working on the theme and will upload the completed version as soon as it is ready. We ran into a few bugs and had to push it’s release to next week.

We’ve got a lot of new themes in the pipeline and multiple developers managing them, mistakes happen.
Thank you for your concern.

                    I think the name "Parallax" should not be allowed as its a popular slider technique and we have a a rule saying such names should not be allowed.

But many themes with bootstrap in their names are approved.

Yeah, it's happened to me a few times where I wanted to use a name and there was a dead, never approved theme blocking it. I tried to have it cleared, but the admins couldn't or wouldn't do it at that time, I don't know if that's changed, but this has been discussed a few times before and the conclusion each time was that's just the way it is, first come, first serve.

Unless it's a trademarked name that no one else can use anyways, I think along with how plugins and themes are removed from search and have a warning attached after 2 years of abandonment, they should also be eligible for replacement by other developers if someone wants to claim its slug. An email could be sent out to the theme or plugin author on file and if they don't reply and update the theme or plugin within a week it's opened up.

But, with any suggestion for improvement, who knows what can of worms this can open up.
