@Doru Nice addition

I’ve heard and registered your thoughts on this multiple times VF, and I don’t disagree, it’s just no where the biggest pain point to address right now

Just pointed that many times because the drop down option (instead of permanent links) sounded like we are working hard with limited space due to space occupied by referral buttons. Sorry for my redundancy though.

If this gets rejected I will kill myself and leave a suicide note that will put the blame on you.

In this case, even if item deserves to be approved, the reviewer may reject due to psychological complexities!

Here is another productive message to reviewer:
Your share if approved is 30% but you should get it from Envato

If the buyer’s download page is huge list of TF and CC items, currently it looks like occupied with too much of big buttons. Removing unnecessary buttons would maintain deserved clarity:

best form of appreciation is clicking that shiny buy button

+1 Especially when the item is new!

Going on 1 week… item is still be sold on both marketplaces. Support said they were looking into the issue, so hopefully shouldn’t be going on any longer.

May be support is verifying to make sure whether it is same author or fake one. Couldn’t understand why you need to fix this particular issue so quickly. Urgency is the root cause of false punishments.

Please read the thread… how could this be false punishment when the item had ZERO sales!!!! Did someone hack Envato and steal the download and offer it for sale on another marketplace with the same exact author name and the same exact author logo??

Practically less chance to occur but still there is room for unobvious before taking it as exclusivity breach. When it comes to official actions, it supposed to not depend on assumptions but proper steps same as any case.

... The user who took advantage of this new rule is well known, staff promoted him on front page and I’m sure they visited his items and saw the banner, so there is no doubt in my mind that the rule exist.

The problem is staffs having less awareness about rules than authors – due to specialized nature of work. It is natural that an author can easily find broken rules than staffs (unless the staff’s job is related to rules and policies). This is where complaints and complainers are inevitable.

However the accuracy and efficiency on managing these things are what differentiates well calculated business expansion Vs raw decisions to hike numbers.

so, where did you read these new rules?

I think Doru is poking Envato to keep the important policies easily accessible. Bad examples sets bad trends regardless of polices.

Recently found a power elite’s item automatically removing the top bar which replaces marketplace links with external source for free. Any new author would just learn this habit as these breaches are frequently visible than policies. And there is a misconception that Elite authors are perfect and knows the rules well – this adds more room for following an unaccepted trend.

One can write a policy on paper and keep it on shelf for years. But the way it transferred to the users is the key.

It was funny and interesting.

Would be frightening for the involved author though, especially if you aware only after few days of error. I felt that disappointment once inside dream
