I was quite clear about the defect in the design of the plugin.  It is simple.  Any user who gets validated can then private message all of the members with spam.   This has happened more than once. 

You are a liar when you say that my review was not supported by fact.

The review you left can't be accepted as it doesn't make any sense in that wording. Let me clear the point:

Here is your original text: 

"Defective and insecure

It allows any new user to spam the whole community."

according to the mailbox feature, it's like saying "Don't use cars anymore, as they allows you to get into accident even you got a driver's license". No sense, if you want to know how the car is good or bad. Mailbox is just the way spammer operates on site. They also use photos, blogs, forums etc. 

Even those, you have been contacted by our team member, to determine what exactly did you want to say. Because we really take care about user experience (some examples here and here ). But the team still didn't receive any explanation from your end. 

Steve, I guess you as we all here, want to make Oxwall better. So, why just not describe your opinion deeper, so the team could understand your point, suggest and perhaps include any ideas into next update? I believe this will be more effective way to contribute the product than trying  to blame the team in censoring. 

p.s.

Quote from Steve Winter It is people like you who are holding Oxwall down and keeping it amateur and bumbling and unprofessional.

What does not make sense is having the authors of plugins delete negative reviews.

In fact, doesn't the mailbox plugin already have an anti spam function? If users send more than 5 (I think) messages in a short time, it displays a CAPTHA screen to verify they are human.

Easy fix for the problem I reported:  Well actually there are many fixes.

Allow the admin to set a limit for daily messages per day, hour etc.by user type.

Allow the admin to set a minimum number of public posts before anyone can message anyone other than the admin.

And there are many others in place in various products.

Oxwall is and currently is targeted by many spam bots, spam software, etc. People know that many people are starting "networks" with Oxwall so there will be many potential users to spam out your marketing to by purchasing a spam bot to do your bidding.

This happened sometimes on my site, but I had some spam protection and would manually write a list of IPs to block in my .htaccess - so my spam was becoming as minimal as possible. However, it is bad here on Oxwall - there's a lot of spam and it's just continuing to happen.

It's not the plugin(s) that's a bust, but moreso the bust is in that no third-party or Oxwall theirselves have been able to find a strong solution to stop these things from spamming your site. I know spam can't be 100% killed off a website, but it can be controlled to a point where the majority of actual users are not bothered with it.

Oxwall, after 1.6.1 maybe it'd be a good recommendation to re-think a strong and good-working spam solution.

Mismanagement and incompetence seems to be driving Oxwall into the ground and that is a real true shame because the potential is awesome.

I ran into the same problem. 

I bought the OrangeOF theme that I did not like (did not work as stated in the description). 

I have posted a negative review, but it was removed with the wording: "Please post your reports or questions at the plugin support forum or contact the plugin developer directly. Reviews section is for posting reviews about your experience of using the plugin. Thank you for understanding."

What does it mean? 

If I paid my money, I have the right to post any review, it is my right as a customer.

If you want to deprive me of the right to place a review - just return my money. 

Then I automatically loses the right to any review. 

The practice of removing the negative reviews - bad idea. 

This practice does not allow a potential buyer to get objective information about the product, and does not encourage the developer to analyze and correct the deficiencies. 

Most importantly, this practice leaves the buyer with no protection from unscrupulous developers. 

Unprotected buyer - direct way to reduce monetize your project.

Oxwall seems to be getting better though, but I am sure it is extra hard work for the competent folks to work through such like...

Ever since the upgrade to the NEW version I have had nothing but problems.

I made the switch a week ago and since then have not had ONE issue with Dolphin Boonex.

Sorry Oxwall . 

I supported your system and the designers by buying all the addons and I will keep the oxwall system and plugins I have in case of an emergency and have to have a temporary community , but at this time Dolphin Boonex has beaten you as far as stability.

I dont feel that Oxwall has the stability it should have anymore. I started off with Oxwall and had great faith in the system , I really loved the way it looked, but little by little as upgrades came out , and modules became more and more incompatible it was forcing me to re-think my decision using the Oxwall system.

Now using the Dolphin Boonex I have everything Oxwall offered and much more !

You may want to consider what to do about this stability and module compatability issue and if you can resolve that, I may possibly reconsider returning to oxwall but for now , until I see that Oxwall's reputation is going up again instead of downwards, I will not be using it or buying any new items.

And believe me , I take no pleasure in having to state this ! I spent a few bucks here and wanted to see this system succeed ! I added things , upgraded as necessary and tried to keep it going as long as possible but my users should not have to suffer without a community to enjoy because when I try to add a new item for them , it crashes the whole community !

Good luck in future endeavors.

That is a major step forward for Oxwall.
