WordPress users are fantastic. This review and how the reviewer brought it back. My reply is a blog post so here we are and below is my reply.
*Reads. STANDS AND APPLAUDS!*
Hello Jan. I usually write the text all in plain form inside a blog post, then split it with some h2 h3 h4 headings and adding images.
PERFECT! Seriously, thank you for that. đ I read many reviews and your reply cheered me up immensely. Iâll let more qualified people reply to that.
About this not being a blog, I beg you pardon if I was OT, but then please tell me, is there an official forum where WordPress users can freely discuss about matters like this?
Iâm getting very off topic but the thing with blogs is that they frequently devolve into a mess of either positivity (never saw that myself but Iâm keeping an open mind) or negativity (OH YEAH, ALL THE TIME!)
The https://wordPress.org/support/ site is divided into sections for support of the WordPress code, support of plugins and themes, and reviews which is feedback.
When someone leaves a review here it is not a blog post. Itâs their experience for that theme or plugin. Though as you know weâve good software for blogging about that.
If someone leaves a review that is substantive about that plugin or theme then thatâs fantastic. Gutenbergâs 4.9.8 callout had the desired effect. People are trying it and for the most part even their 1 star reviews have provided good feedback to improve it.
If someone just vents, hate posts, rage replies then thatâs not for here. I donât think youâre surprised that happens. Such behavior has a limited value and a short shelf-life here. These forums are moderated and no, thatâs not censorship in case anyone wants to chime in that way.
You left a review of reviews. I commented about that as a moderator. You replied in an excellent fashion and brought it back to feedback about this plugin and editor. Much thanks!
*Drinks coffee, probably too much but here we are.*
The people who are coding Gutenberg, who are driving it forward, who support the users, who are doing this on their own time for the community are good people. These forums are 100% staffed by volunteers. I know you get that but others will read this and again here we are.
For their efforts they generally get a âthank youâ but some disparage them, cast aspersions on their intentions and motivations. The whole effort gets accused by some and something negative and those users are occasionally downright mean and cruel. That may get tolerated on some blogs but thatâs abuse and isnât tolerated long here.
*Finishes off coffee, Iâm sure you see a theme with me.*
Thanks again for the update. Itâs the weekend so someone may not get to it soon but youâll get a reply about your experience and some follow up questions.
