 * I dont recommend this plugin,. It’s actually no real plugin but some feature 
   that must be setup and configured outside your own website, including making 
   an account,. etc….
 * Not what I was looking for, thus a plugin that I install AND configure on my 
   own webspace.

 * Hi there, I’m really sad to hear that you had a bad experince using our plugin.
 * Poptin requires you to open a free account that’s connected seamlessly with your
   WordPress website, like many other SaaS products.
 * We put a lot of effort into the product and customer service. Are you open to
   talk with me about your review? You can reply here or ping me at [gal@poptin.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/terribly-spammy-plugin/gal@poptin.com?output_format=md)–
   I’ll do my best to convince you we deserve better than 1 star 🙂

 * Hello Gal,
 * Thanks for your reply and sorry for the rude subject. I could have done that 
   more subtle.
 * But issue is I just don’t like the idea of “a seamless connection with our WordPress
   website” and designing outside the own environment. IN particular not for a thing
   as a simple popup or dialogbox. Also a SaaS solution is not what I was looking
   for, I must have missed that in the description.
 * The plugin might be useful for others but not for us.
 * Thanks anyway for your time and Effort.
 * Please feel free to close and/or remove my review if it feels more comfortable.

 * [@homerecords](https://wordpress.org/support/users/homerecords/) thanks for taking
   the time to write back 🙂
 * We offer much more than a simple popup/dialog box and we have integrations with
   many other platforms therefore we can’t really provide a built-in editing ability
   🙁
 * You’re the only one that can remove/change a review, so I’d be really happy if
   you could give Poptin a try and rate it based on the product itself.
 * How does that sound?

 * [@homerecords](https://wordpress.org/support/users/homerecords/) so what do you
   say?
 * If you’re open to giving our product a try, that’d awesome. Otherwise, as you
   suggested, you can remove your review 🙂

 * Hello Gal,
    - First: removing the review Is not among the options. I already made the Title
      more gentle but since it’s a fully commercial solution (SaaS based) from me
      it will never get more than 1 star. Sorry for that. it’s not mentioned in 
      the description of the plugin
    -  Two: Calling us or requesting a phone call, to “discuss” will not make anything
      better, it’s just the way plugins on WordPress work, some like it, some don’t.
    -  All that above makes the current reviews a bit suspicious if you ask me.
    - Feel free to have it removed by a moderator or report my review as offensive
      or whatever.. I will do the same with this commercial plugin.
    - Also read the guidelines and in particular the part of:
       _ “Do not harass 
      or abuse people. Do not go to their websites, do not pick out their home addresses,
      phone numbers, Twitter ID, Skype ID, Facebook, any social media accounts or
      ways to contact them and use it to ask for support. Only use contact methods
      explicitly given.”
    - > [Forum Guidelines](https://wordpress.org/support/guidelines/)
    - And again: contacting us straight by our websites is not being appreciated.

 * [@homerecords](https://wordpress.org/support/users/homerecords/) thanks for responding.
 * This is the first time I do this, and the only reason I’ve contacted you is because
   you said yourself that you’re open to removing your review because you haven’t
   read our listing carefully before installing the plugin.
 * Behind each product, there’s a team that works really hard, and whenever you 
   leave a review just because you haven’t read the listing, it really hurts the
   product and the developers. As you said yourself, it’s stated in our listing 
   several times.
 * Our product works well with WordPress websites and the only reason you’ve left
   us a 1-star review is because we’re a SaaS product 🙂

 * I did read the description afterwards very carefully (after my first review),
   several times and I just did it again but I still cannot distillate it is a SaaS
   solution.

 * Moderator note: No, we will not remove this review. Developer discomfort is not
   a valid reason for that. I think the discussion is valuable and interesting and
   deserves to remain a part of the record.
