How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

At the current install trend, crossing 90+ in roughly 229 days.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   The functionality of the plugin has been significantly expanded in recent updates. Several previously mentioned shortcomings have been addressed and new suggestions have been implemented. Particularly positive are: Ability for updating reviews Different custom rating criteria for groups, definable by site or group administrators Based on my previous two-star review, it’s fair to update my assessment. While there are still a few configuration options that would be desirable from a site administrator’s perspective, the plugin is now well thought out and highly recommended. I had considered using this plugin. However, I am disappointed because the name of this plugin promises more than it delivers. I would have expected different groups to be evaluated based on different criteria. Instead, only members of different groups can be excluded from the evaluation, and the same criteria apply to all groups. Furthermore, once a review is made, it cannot be updated, only new ones can be made (“Enable Multiple Reviews”).Feature request: – Text field for personal comments should be optional, and this also applies to the almost identical “Member Review” plugin
