Violation of Plugin Guidelines
-
This software, first of all “phones home” in the admin panel, and on top of it all, features are disabled until they are paid for after 30 days such as the Social Logins.
A WP moderator should look into this.
-
Software as a service works and that’s what this plugin is.
It is not what it was.
As I said, in my op, there was trialware in the plugin, in which the guidelines said that was a no-no.
5. Trialware is not allowed in the directory.
Attempting to upsell the user on other products and features is acceptable within limits.
Upsell notifications should not be overly prominent or annoying.
Plugins may not contain functionality that is crippled or locked, only to be unlockable by payment or upgrade. Paid functionality must be part of an externally hosted service or a separate plugin, that is not hosted on wordpress.org.
********** Plugins may not disable included functionality after a trial period or quota. **********https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org/detailed-plugin-guidelines/
Even the Plugin Author said:
30 days trial is not a violation of plugin guidelines since this is a serviceware plugin.
Which is false. It is a violation of section 5 and section 5 grants no exclusions to SAS.
