Creator on CodeFling review
I'm a creator on CodeFling (if they don't try to ban me for this review, that is).
The owners asked all creators to submit a review which is not really that legitimate imo, so I came to post my own from my experience.
The admin "Raul" has been quite rude and condescending to me, going so far as to make totally unwarranted threats about not letting me cash out my earnings (stealing my sales), even as a developer which they should want to support. I no longer make plugins for their site and don't even like to update the ones I have made (but I do for the people who purchased them) because of the admins' behavior and I personally know a lot of talented and long-time developers in the community who feel the same way. That's why so many developers use their own sites and why competitor sites were established.
They really need to be more mature and kind. Instead they act like everyone who isn't on their inside circle is their enemy.
Their payouts have been an inconsistent mess.
They rudely chase away their own clients and creators who have no alternative recourse except to post reviews like this.
Reply from Codefling
Thanks for your feedback! Despite your negative experience, I'm truly thankful you included some positive feedback so we can improve overall.
To clarify some points mentioned:
1) Raul does not own Codefling. He's simply an Administrator who helps us with support and account administration.
2) You're correct that we did request reviews from our creators to give us more reviews from their perspective, as our current reviews were all from a customer's perspective, many of which are rage reviews with no real relevance to our platform.
