If you're using that "tweet to download" thing or anything remotely similar, please be aware that I will make a point not to use your website/product/whatever. My social circle is not a free place for you to put ads, if you want me to put a good word for you there you will need to earn it. Also, none of those scroller plugins seems to handle my mouse wheel correctly in both direction (up and down).

What if it said "Tweet or pay $X to download"?

isn't the download the way to earn it?

For a just-released handpicked plugin repository, you would think that all the plugins would work. Not so... (FF 7, OSX Lion). There are even a lot of plugins that reduplicate the (generally much better) functionality in jQueryUI.

Not only that, but the content is shamelessly scraped without even the decency of including an attribution to the original authors.

This post should be getting flagged and thrown out!

Why not link directly to the original demos/tutorials? Why is the repo actively designed to block me from finding the original authors? This is quite bizarre. Not even the zip files have attributions... wtf is this? eg: gloss under effects + UI has absolutely no context and the original can be found here: http://plugins.jquery.com/project/gloss by someone called Alaa Badran. Scraped content, stolen link juice and no…

Agree big time. Not a single link to the original authors is a travesty, shame, and a mockery...it's a traveshamockery.
