Plugin Directory Admin: Customize Rejection Message

[Ipstenu]

The current rejection email is a little short and just says that your plugin has been rejected.

While this isn't BAD, it could be better.

This is pretty much what we use as a generic rejection right now.

At this time, we cannot accept your plugins as submitted.

Plugins that reproduce features that are already included in WordPress, without any perceivable additions, such as (but not limited to) duplication of existing short codes ([embed] and [gallery]), widgets (rss feed display), or functionality (adding users), will not be accepted.

We do not permit plugins that we feel to be unethical, such as black or grey hat SEO (including plugins that auto post content). Any plugin related to claims like 'Our plugin will help you earn thousands of dollars' will be rejected, as that behavior is scummy and unwelcome.

Plugins with obfuscated (i.e. hidden or encrypted) code will never be accepted.

While the directory is open for all secure, GPLv2 (or later) compatible plugins, we reserve the right to reject any plugin on any grounds we feel are reasonable, whether or not they are explicitly noted in the guidelines.

If you feel this was in error, please email plugins@… with your plugin attached as a zip and explain why you feel your plugin should be an exception.

Thinking of the reasons WHY we will reject in the future, I think we can trim it down a lot...

Your plugin submission has been rejected from the WordPress.org Directory.

If you believe this to be in error, please email plugins@[wordpress.org] with your plugin attached as a zip and explain why you feel your plugin should be an exception.
