Yes Pawn Shop is just crying on the forum. What does it bring to the community? Nothing! It is just killing it with level zero debates and trolling.

Instead of that, you should rather think about what you could do to help the WordPress community by donating to plugins authors, buying premium releases, performing translations and assisting on the support forums. Obviously, you have no time for that, you are just here to try to obtain more for less. I suggest you to code from scratch all these plugins that you are criticizing. Once you would have done that and realized what it takes to do so, I am sure you will weight your comments a bit more and have a more positive attitude towards the community.

Criticizing is so easy. Everybody can do that. Bringing value to a community is another step that people like you just don’t understand.

WordPress is what it is today thanks to all these plugin and theme authors that contributed by offering free plugins and enhancements to the core. Step up and contribute at the same level and then you’ll be in a position to discuss. Before that, it is just noise and troll…

I am pissed off with these people that are just here to criticize. This is amazing attitude, never seen that! It is good that you are only marginal and that 99% of the users are happy with the way plugins and themes are delivered.

I like all these plugins, whether free or premiums. I have absolutely no issue to upgrade the free plugin to a premium release when it is required as long as it meets a requirement. There is someone that worked hard to deliver this work so I’d rather thank him for making it happen at a very reasonnable price which I couldn’t have done on my own rather than trying to question the licensing aspect to obtain it for free…

Nothing forces you to pay for a plugin or like it. Just don’t use it. Can’t you accept its presence among the 20.000 others? It isn’t because it is different that it is bad and it isn’t because you don’t like it or you claim that it is bad that it is bad. You need to accept that in life, things don’t always go in the direction you’d like, simply because this direction is wrong or not the one selected by other people. So there is no need to make a big discussion for that, useless, just accept it. You won’t kill all the people that you don’t like. So this is the same concept here. You aren’t here to make the rules and create troubles to contributors that aren’t in line with what you think is the right way to be. The policies are made by the community for the general interest and the general interest is to have as many contributors as possible to grow WP installed base and expand his capabilities! You are just playing against this…

You make me laugh Domain Pawn Shop… Seeing a guy who is making a lot of money out of selling domain names crying because he needs to pay few dollars for a software is quite funny if not more…

You perfectly now what it is to make good money out of almost nothing. So why do you come here and shout people who are providing very nice plugins for free. Nothing forces us to use these plugins if we don’t want to. Still, they represent a very good piece of S/W. Do you think that the 17K users that downloaded user messages were misleaded? What about the 12 ones that rated it 5 stars?

I have been using user messages plugin for a while and it is very convenient. So I really don’t want it to disappear from here just to sustain the bad feelings of freebies like you… You are just an opportunist, you come here and claim people are doing wrong with false allegations while you should praise them for offering free S/W to the community! You are really badly positionned to claim that they are doing wrong by making little money out of their plugins. Developping a plugin like user messages should have been a lot of work so it is quite understandable that this guy is trying to get a bit of money out of it. For me, it is way more understandable than people selling domain names for thousands K$…

So you might think you are right. But it doesn’t mean you are. The WordPress community isn’t limited to you. And it isn’t because you are angry with this for a reason I can imagine but certainly not understand that you must prevent other users from benefiting from these plugins!!!
