Auto suspend & Characters required are not official?

I’m using only the plugins published by discourse for maximum compatibility. However, I’m curious as to why the two plugins: discourse auto suspend & discourse characters required are not being marked as official?

I wasn’t sure where this topic belongs so posted it in uncategorized.

Oh that is odd, cc @eviltrout. And @blake is auto-suspend yours?

Looks like characters-required was never added to official plugins. This adds it:

I’ve updated the README for the auto-suspend plugin stating that it is unofficial and to use the auto-deactivate plugin instead:

I’ve add the auto-deactivate plugin to the official list:

@blake can you provide a small overview of what has changed between auto suspend and auto deactivate (despite the fact that one suspends and other deactivates) I’d have to install the other plugin tonight if there are major differences (Including support lifecycle)

That is the only difference and we don’t have plans to support the suspended plugin now that we don’t have any other paying customers using it.
