[theme-reviewers] Question: Someone Want to Take Benefit From a 'Top Reviewer of the Month'.

Wed Jan 29 18:52:26 UTC 2014

I am with Chip here, paying your employee or employ someone
is 100% the same, no difference whatsoever.

The moment we said yes to commercial Theme shops to have their
people review tickets under a single username, is the moment we allowed
this very thing as well. Not sure what is the problem?

Every time one of us mentions Featured Themes, entire* community jumps
on. When we need help, only few of us replies. How come?
