Two things:

Are thread ratings actually displayed somewhere?
You can apparently rate your own thread. Or at least it appeared to accept it when I rated the NativeVotes thread.

Yes, both in the thread and on the topic listing - there is a minimum number of votes however.

We probably need a report button in Plugin subforum to remove bad plugin asap.

A report button already exists on every post, as well as private messages.

This should appease those who have been waiting for their plugins to be approved for some time.
As well, I agree with DeathChaos25 that someone could post a harmful plugin, but I review all new plugins to learn new things. So I doubt there will be one posted long enough to do any harm before someone catches it.
Overall, I like the change a lot.

I like the changes and look forward to the second announcement.

Following that change, shouldn't "Plugin Approver" become "Plugin Unapprover" / "Plugin Reapprover"

? Unless we keep such a vestige from the past =P (which is simpler

).

I see the change as realist, as there wasn't really a steady influx of approvers, nor of approvals :$. Also even an approved plugin could be/become malicious (for instance, wait for approval, then upload a malicious version; though I've no idea if this was done).

I'm not sure regarding the "Post, find, and rate plugins here." sub-title (do you call it that ?) though. I'm pretty sure some (probably new) people looking for a plugin will make a new thread asking a certain plugin. I think "Post, browse, and rate plugins here." might be better.

There's no reason to give them a name, you could just call them regular moderators or administrators.

I'm probably totally spoiling Changes Part 2, but

Spoiler

Edit: To which I say "about time!"

Well, the cat's out of the bagel now.

A free, (crappy) Steam game (of my choice), to the first person to know where that reference is from WITHOUT consulting a search engine.

More details on this change coming in the near future.
