If you need, you can pop a CSS rule into your functions file to consistently hide it like this:

add_action('admin_head', 'get_rid_of_yoast_bloat');
function get_rid_of_yoast_bloat() {
    echo '<style type="text/css"> .yoast_bf_sale { display: none !important; }</style>';
}

Also, the “X” in the corner is barely clickable. They ad changes your mouse cursor but the image is not on center with the point of the cursor, so if you move the target (their version of your cursor) over the X, you are in fact clicking on the ad instead.

Again, dishonesty from Yoast.

Hi @clorith

Thanks for the response – I appreciate you taking the time, and thank you very much for removing the distasteful comment.

Thank you for the clarification on points 10 and 11. Also, thank you for your perspective regarding point 7, however I do feel like we are disagreeing on the guideline purpose.

Whilst it seems that you are looking at the definition of the word Guideline, I am looking at the definition of the document that was labelled Detailed Plugin Guidelines as stated in the introduction of the document:

Developers, all users with commit access, and all users who officially support a plugin are expected to abide by the Directory Guidelines.

Violations may result in plugins or plugin data (for previously approved plugins) being removed from the directory until the issues are resolved. Plugin data, such as user reviews and code, may not be restored depending on the nature of the violation and the results of a peer-review of the situation. Repeat violations may result in all the author’s plugins being removed and the developer being banned from hosting plugins on www.remarpro.com.

The wording leaves very little leeway in the interpretation of the purpose of the document. These are rules and regulations. The rules and regulations themselves might have “many relevant interpretations”, but they must be adhered to.

For a plugin to automatically load an ad without any user input or manual updates is a breach of contract and trust between user and developer.
