Now after Mark of weblogtoolscollection dug a bit deeper and wrote an article about sponsored themes on the frequently visited and read wordpress site loads of comments came up.
Most people were posting their comments against sponsored themes, but also some voiced their arguments ‘for’ sponsored themes. Those were mainly the higher quality of wordpress themes. I am not going to pick on that, because they are right, but usually those designs were not made by the people selling the sponsored links on those templates, but by designers who released the themes for free prior to the port. I rest my case on this issue.

Anyway, one of the big boys, matt (the wordpress matt), wrote a full article and his take on the issue of sponsored themes. Finally, someone is taking steps to reduce the quantity of sponsored themes!

Furthermore, he started a vote on the wordpress.org idea site, where he asks users to participate and leave their votes as well! He wants people who are ‘against’ removing the sponsored themes to leave one star and their arguments, and others who want the sponsored themes to be banned to leave five stars.

So get logging in and leave your comment and vote, in favor for the wordpress community and less spam and evilness. Remember sponsored links can damage your pagerank, your reputation and make you look like a clown!.

Thanks a lot!
