My first review criticised the plugin on both a performance and technology point of view. It was deleted, with an explanation to limit the review to the functionality not technology. No policy cited and I would have thought a bad technology could be reviewed if the plugin enabled the technology.

I added a second review (with the same poor rating) limiting it to performance and database issues (I had used the plugin previously). It was deleted again with an “explanation” that I was acting in bad faith, a refusal to elaborate and I was put on probation.

Neither review mentioned ads.

Happy to share the emails etc that document this. I wonder how many other reviews criticising Automattic and the AMP plugin have been deleted.
