Accurate listings? It's a lot of work!

Voting and Reviews by Users

There are more than 115,000 registered users voting in the Joomla Extensions Directory, and most of them do it the right way. In the past I've talked about reasons we reject reviews from users, but we've never really opened up the process we use to make sure the votes are valid, honest and accurate.

Because the JED is the most complete and accurate listing of Joomla extensions available, its traffic is high and as such listings are valuable. The temptation to influence a JED listing is clearly great, and we spend quite a bit of our time monitoring voting patterns and preventing abuse. Because of the value of that traffic, we believe it is our duty to make sure the listings are as accurate and honest as we possibly can make them.

Voting and Reviews by Extension Owners

The vast majority of the 1600+ extension owners in the JED use the system properly, and for that we're grateful.

When an extension developer decides to influence their listing with fraudulent votes, they are hurting not only the other developers but the users that trust the ratings in the JED. They take our time from working on extension and review approval, and slow the process down for everyone.
