Very long extension moderation process

Бывший пользователь

Is there any way to get information from developers on the status of the moderation process? I have queued my extension on 26.04, and still not a single sign from Opera. If any admin reads it, my package ID is 236717. It has never been reviewed.
If there is something wrong with the extension I'd like to know that and fix it. Same if you need some additional information / access. But I've never heard back from anyone, this is very frustrating

Guys, my addition is moderated for quite a while. How to know when it will be ready?

Until now, nothing happens. I have not come across such a long moderation before. For the first time since 2015, so long. How to release updates with such delays?

@commaticus My extension is almost a year on moderation, many updates have already been released, I’m not adding new ones here anymore. Those that have already been added are not deleted because it is interesting whether they will be moderated or not.

Someone has information about the causes? Why is extension moderation currently suspended?

Бывший пользователь

After I've posted a message here I received a rejection the very next day. I fixed stuff they wanted right away nad now.... Almost a month since then - nothing again, just silence. It seems like they just don't care about extensions and developers. I don't remember such poor moderation process ever.

Extension moderation is not suspended, quite the opposite.
We are now fine-tuning the automoderation to remove delays, or at least make them as short as possible.
Please remember that the best way to improve the efficiency of the process is by complying with the acceptance criteria:

@tnowak Thanks for the information. And what if the extension meets all the requirements but for two years moderation does not occur? what to do ? package - 231350

@adsfactory-russia : The package you mentioned severely violates our acceptance criteria and will not be published.

@tnowak package -234072. Soon there will be a year, as the first version added. I read the criteria, I don’t see any gross violations, extension shops of other browsers added me without any problems right away. Why does not the moderation of my extension pass?

Бывший пользователь @tnowak

@tnowak Thank you for your prompt response. Our technicians checked your comments, we did not have such problems at other extension shop. During the day, the technicians will correct the indicated remarks, as I will be ready, I will write to you, I hope for prompt verification of corrections of our mistakes. Thanks

@kurtq, @adsfactory-russia: Different stores have different acceptance criteria.
It means that in our store you can find extensions that would not be published in Chrome Web Store.

Бывший пользователь @tnowak

@tnowak Thanks for the clarification, we understand you. Our technicians completed the amendments for the extension 231350. We will be very grateful to you for re-checking, if it does not complicate you.

@tnowak I don’t understand why my extension is not suitable for your store?

Бывший пользователь @tnowak

@tnowak If the extension does not meet any criteria - why is it not rejected? Wouldn't it be better to reject the addon and list the reasons for the rejection, instead of leaving the app in the "Awaiting moderation" status?
My package (237425) has been waiting for publication for several months. He may also have some criteria violations that I don't notice. However, I cannot know this. The app does not publish, but does not reject. He is just "waiting" for no apparent reason.

Exactly. We finally got an Opera representer in this thread... How come it took so long?
