[theme-reviewers] WP Admin notice asking for ratings

[emin ozlem]

I think the general idea was that it might be allowed as long as it is not
abusive. I dont know if there's anyway i can link to the mail conversation
so to quote some of them:

Yep, I would agree that a link from the Theme Options page is good. A
banner on Theme activation is not.

Personally, I'm much more laissez faire regarding the Theme Options page.
That's essentially the Theme's domain within the Admin area. I would rather
try to leave that up to the prerogative of the Theme developers, unless it
gets obviously out of hand.
