I had a very bad experience today…
The last versions of one of my add-on (existing since nearly 3 years) has been rejected after the latest version was validated 36 hours ago).
I guess that this means it is also disabled in users browsers… even if they have been using it for months.
This never happened before Quantum, is this the result of a new process in add-ons reviews?
Does that mean we cannot be sure that a new version is really validated when AMO says so… and you can decide without any warning to disable add-ons?
That turns me crazy… we have thousands of users and I have no idea what is the impact for users.
Now, I have submitted the fix, but no idea when/if it will be reviewed and accepted.
Well… there has been a lot of discussions about it. In order to have a speedy turn around, addons are Automatically approved (with some reservations). However, they will still be reviewed by a human at some point later to make sure they conform to AMO policies.
I understand your concerns and I am sorry about the inconvenience.
OK, we lack of time to read all discussions, and we missed that.
Suggestion: Could you propose two options?
1/ “quick” approval - but with the risk of later rejection
2/ full (human) approval - as before with no risk to be dereferenced
But maybe that was also discussed
Thanks for your job that is really important for the safety of all our users
