I’d be happy to.
The reason the original Nimbus Team’s account was banned was for providing users with information about how to circumvent the ban we imposed in our forums, which we simply don’t permit. That advice puts our users in a position of risk we consider to be unacceptable, and won’t be allowed to stand in our forums.
In our add-on policies document here:
https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/publish/add-on-policies/
You’ll note that under “User Interactions & Technical Data”, the second bullet point is:
- Search functionality provided or loaded by the add-on must not collect search terms or intercept searches that are going to a third-party search provider.
This is the reason that the Add-on was disabled. Further down, in the section called “Compliance and blocking”, the policy states that:
“If an add-on appears to intentionally violate the policies or its developers have proven unreachable, unresponsive, or uncooperative, or in case of repeat violations, blocking may be immediate.”
That - repeat violations - is the case here, and the reason the block was immediate.
Thank you,
