    Hi there, I am a plugin developer. I developed 3 plugins so far

    DLG Client Uploader
    DLG Rental Listings
    DLG Gold Calculator

    Recently made updates to the Gold Calculator because kitco has turned off their free streaming of gold prices and it stopped the plugin from working all together. I ended up finding a pay service that I could use to get the current rates so I subscribed. I setup a framework on my server so I could distribute those rates for a fee which I applied to the rate I’m getting charged. So I modified my plugin and made the mistake of encrypting the URL for the rates (an xml feed).

    Checked the next day and all my plugins were gone! No notification, No warning. Nothing. I realize I made a mistake and encrypting the url of my server but is it necessary to ban all my work? I have put countless hours of development time into my plugins.

    I have unecrypted the URL and re-uploaded the plugin. I have sent emails to [email protected] and all they sent back was


    Hi,
    Your plugins were removed for breaking the directory guidelines.
    This is permanent.

    Is there any way to get another chance here and activate my plugins? I enjoy working on them and had planned on making more for the community. I always took suggestions from users and built them into my plugins for free and now all that is just getting thrown away for a little mistake.
