Very long extension moderation process

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:

@adsfactory-russia : The package you mentioned severely violates our acceptance criteria and will not be published.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

@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It means that in our store you can find extensions that would not be published in Chrome Web Store.

@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?

@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?

@brainierweb:
Your extension didn't use i18n, so the description in Russian was recognized as English. It would be great if you included some description in English too.

Published.

@tnowak The posting is certainly great. However, my question remained unanswered: Why did the process take so long?
I have a very short release cycle. And waiting for each update for several months does not suit me. I want to know what causes the delay to correct them. Missing Description in English is the only violation?

@tnowak Hi, please tell me, can the main description be in Russian? Extension 231350 will be used only on the Russian segment. Or should the description be in English?

@brainierweb:
Our moderation queue is integrated with the points system mentioned by @tprockow. We are in the process of fine-tuning its parameters to give priority to good or popular extensions, yours included. It should be much better now.

@adsfactory-russia: It's OK, but don't mix languages in different fields.
I see that you are discussing the rest of issues with our moderation team.

@tnowak Thanks for the answer. Our technicians corrected all the points indicated by the moderators and we uploaded the new version. I hope the moderators can find a little time and re-check the corrections

@tnowak Thank! I downloaded the new version, the jQuery library was updated to the latest version, minor bugs were fixed. I hope that moderation will happen anyway
