[theme-reviewers] Payment Option for Theme Reviews

[Michael Hebenstreit]

As stated before, unfortunately not. But as stated before, it seems volunteer work doesn’t work well anymore and it might be the time to think about new solutions. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have a problem with waiting a few weeks for theme approval and I fully respect the work of all reviewers and admins. But when we are honest and rational, we have to admit that this doesn’t work well. If this would be a company and the review queue would be client issues, we wouldn’t do our job very well. :-)
