tl;dr? If you get a final notice from the plugin team, please take it seriously. That really is you reaching your final chance with us.
There has been some confusion about what a ‘final notice’ means with regards to plugins or what it means to be banned.
The Plugin Team does not capriciously ban anyone. Actually we hate banning people. It’s a lot of work, it’s frustrating, it comes with anger no matter how we do it, and people always get hurt, especially users. That’s why we’ve established a warning system and do our best to ensure all developers are aware of infractions and allowed to course-correct.
