The WordPress Theme Viewer has been catering to the needs of the WordPress community for the past months. Currently, over 1500 themes from a growing community of theme designers have been uploaded.
These past days, however, it has been noticed that crab mentality among theme designers has become a chronic and worsening problem at the theme viewer. Some hide in several aliases and rate other designer’s work with low ratings after seeing that your theme download hits are higher than theirs. The theme viewer thumbnail feature has been dysfunctional for days so if your theme has a lower rating, there’s no way that your theme would be noticed by the users. It would appear unappealing to them.
On the other case, some theme owners hide in several aliases to vote for their own themes. What can I say? Sometimes, seeking for fame can make you desperate. Tsk.
Gladly, this problem has been resolved now. The admin has removed the rating system at the main site.

Ratings gone, but those who downrated others (Lisa Sabin and Jez) are now policing others in the name of ethics on Weblogtoolscollection.com!!!
Isn’t it amazing?
