Great promise, but abandoned

@skrapion

So you didn’t care to write a positive review to encourage the author and a free plugin. But posts a negative 1 star review when it broke.

This is the saddest part of the community. No one cares when a plugin works, and enjoy it for free. But have to leave a negative rating when things doesn’t work.

Anyways, It was an experimental project to try block editor for other use cases. I may try to fix it if I get time.

What do you mean no one cares? During the 3 months when it was working, you had 100 installs, and 6% of those installs gave you a perfect review. That’s very good for any community.

Then it was broken for 9 months, and of course you didn’t get more installs and more positive reviews when it was broken.

And I didn’t just jump to a negative review. I tried to help. When I discovered that I couldn’t edit any of my forms anymore, I spent a day testing different versions of CF7, CF7-blocks, and WordPress, and reported to your Github that the error is related to a pre-6.3.2 WordPress update, but that fell on deaf ears. I didn’t post a negative review until you ignored everybody for an additional 3 months.

I posted this negative review so other people know not to install the project until it’s fixed. I would have changed it to 5 stars if you had fixed it. But now I know that even if you fix it, I can’t rely on it working long term. Thank you, that’s useful to know.

I didn’t say ‘everyone’; I specifically said ‘you’. You didn’t care to give a positive review earlier when it worked but posted a negative one when it didn’t. Don’t portray my comment as being for everyone; it was only for you. Users like you use the rating system to blackmail plugin developers. You don’t support them when these free plugins work.

And I am not just speculating it; from your profile, it is clear that you only wrote negative reviews in 3 years. There has not been a single positive review of any plugin so far.

Then you’re not looking very hard. For heaven’s sake, I even tried to prevent you from losing one of your users who was “very very sad” and I will defend plugins that were unfairly poorly reviewed.

But you’re right, I usually only write a review after it’s clear that the maintainer is ignoring any bug reports, patches, or any other ways I’m trying to contribute. Congrats, you made it into that very short list.
