Theme Denied

  • I have created two themes. One is still pending approval or denial. No doubt it will be the latter.
    My other theme was denied today for the following reasons:

    They said my theme was auto generated? Ummm hello!!! My themes are not auto generated. What an insult!

    Also:

    RECOMMENDED: Text domain problems in library/widgets.php. You have not included a text domain!

    Line 83: <h3 style=’margin-bottom:3px;’><?php _e(‘Theme Options’); ?></h3>

    RECOMMENDED: Text domain problems in library/admins.php. You have not included a text domain!

    Line 8: <h2><?php _e(‘WPMotors Options’); ?></h2>

    RECOMMENDED: Text domain problems in functions.php. You have not included a text domain!

    Line 462: $title = $previous ? __(‘Previous Post’) : __(‘Next Post’);

    INFO: Possible hard-coded links were found in the file header.php.

    Line 49: <div class='vic-flash-alt'><a>

    I followed all guidelines and made sure that the theme passed all tests before submitting. It was your system that recommended the coding I am using, yet, you now say it is wrong? Again, Hello!!!!

    Maybe WordPress needs to review their submission guidelines rather than insult people with automated theme reviews?

    I would like to see what others feel before the Moderators close this thread just like they closed other threads of complaint.

    @chip:

    2) The Theme Reviewers mail list has moderated membership. It is an unfortunate, yet ubiquitous, requirement for mail lists. If not for membership moderation, the amount of spam we receive is simply untenable.

    if that is the case, then you can’t tell people to:

    * Send an email to the Theme Review email list

    as it is possible they won’t be allowed to post to said list – can I suggest that be removed, and better instructions for replying Trac is given.

    I’m not sure if that should be taken as sarcasm or a gauntlet being thrown down

    I will quote Chip:

    many Themes are derived from other Themes – the currently most prevalent being TwentyTen-derived Themes. We hold such Themes to a fairly high standard of demonstrating some significant design and/or functional distinction from TwentyTen before we approve them.
